ATH: Imam W.D.Mohammed(ra) "Born Free Of Sin"

"God revealed to Adam, if we understand it.  God revealed to Adam, because God says, "When I have breathed into him of My spirit" that means the gift of inspiration, divine inspiration, revelation.  And God said, "and he came upon a word and he repented."  The word was the word of revelation.  And he repented for his wrong.  And God accepted his repentance.  So he is not the man of sin, he is the man of human nature.  He is capable of making errors, he is capable of sinning, but that's what God created him for. God created him to learn by experience, and to grow by experience. To not to repeat the mistakes he makes, but to learn from them so he doesn't make them in the future, and be prepared to perhaps to avoid even bigger obstacles in the future, because he already met with the smaller ones that alerted him better, or alerted him more.  So we see it as a learning process, we see what they call the weakness in man, we see it as a component of his strength.  If we didn't have also the capacity to error along with the capacity to want to be perfect, we wouldn't progress." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
