QSI: Seerah #39 -"The Battle of Badr, The Angels and The Qadr"

Qur'an 2:  33. He said: "O Adam! tell them their natures."  When he had told them Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?"

                34. And behold We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam"; and they bowed down not so Iblis he refused and was haughty he was of those who reject Faith.

Qudsi #25 - On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:

Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me (My Will and Intention) with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him."

"The beginning of men in the Quran is actually the beginning of man as an intellect, as a student of God's universe that is also the University over all universities."  "The creation of man is also the creation, and more importantly, the creation of a creature that will study G'd's universe and use knowledge." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
