When Satan disobeyed God, he was cast out of heaven. At that time, he  says that he would misguide men on earth till the day of eternity. The  way I understand it, Adam had not yet disobeyed God and man was still a  part of heaven. How could Satan say that he would misguide men on earth  when God has not yet sent Adam to Earth? Please help me in understanding  this chronology.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Adam was not sent down to earth because of disobeying the Almighty. The Almighty had declared even before creating him: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">And [remember] your Lord said to the angels: Lo! I have decided to create a in the earth. (2:29)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>This the Almighty  had said before angles and Satan (Iblis) was also present there. Then  all of them were asked to prostrate before Adam. Iblis because of his  vanity and conceit did not obey God. And when the Almighty reprimanded  him he threatened to mislead humans on earth. Then the Almighty settled  Adam and Eve in the garden where they succumbed to Satan\u2019s scheme and  fell into error. They realized their mistake and sought forgiveness  which was they were granted. Now they were asked to leave that garden  and start their lives in the earth and obey Allah\u2019s guidance.<\/div>\n<div>The world Jannah  doesn\u2019t necessarily imply the paradise, which is the abode of the pious  ones in the Hereafter. In fact, the portrait the Qur\u2019an draws of that it  tells that it is something to be created at some time in the future. <\/div>\n<div>It is thus obvious from 2:29 that it was decided from the beginning that humans were to be settled on the Earth.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-23<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5969\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  read a passage in the Holy Qur\u2019an recently which left me in confusion.
