3:77
God’s essence and each of His attributes are eternal (qadim) and His Word and Act are also eternal. This means that He is always creator without any beginning and end. Thus the concept of creation is like a circle which does not have a end. A bright example of it is in the very story of Hazrat Adam. He was born in this world, according to the law of creation (3:77; 17:77; 30:30), then he went to Paradise by the command of God, then he came back to this world and then he entered Paradise again. Is it story of only one Adam? If yes, then there would have two laws, one of Hazrat Adam and the other for the rest. It can never be so. Never. God’s sunnat is only one, and so it is certainly the story of countless Adams, because each Adam after reaching the highest level of Paradise with respect to the higher “I”, remains there, but with respect to the lower “I”, comes to this world.
