Abstract

This book tells the story of Adam and Eve (peace be upon them), whose names are well-known to all followers of monotheistic religions. In Islam Adam was not only the ancestor of all people, but also the first prophet of Allah. The book reveals important details of the Qur’anic viewpoint on different stages of Adam and Eve’s life, highlighting specific features of Islamic perception of this story compared to Christian perception. The story is written in a simple and interesting manner and is mainly aimed at children. It is supposed to inculcate in little Muslims the basic principles of Islam, and to instil a love to all prophets of Allah the Almighty, from Adam to Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all!). We hope that this book will be beneficial and interesting for the whole family, including both children and adults.
