Places
Adam and Eve are the names we give to the first man and woman to live on this world
and they were made from one self
one soul
And they had many children
and those children grew up and had children of their own
and the family of Adam and Eve grew and grew into the family of humankind
Well the thing about humankind is that they need all sorts of stuff to stay alive
They need water to drink and food to eat
and shelter from the weather
And as Adam and Eve's family of humankind grew and grew
they travelled the world in search of new places that could provide them with food and water
and a way of living comfortably with the weather
Now humankind was given a mind to understand the world and themselves
and they found all sorts of ways to stay alive in some very different kinds of places
For the world and its weather shape each other
And as humankind spread far and wide they became separated from each other
and slowly different branches of the family grew to speak different languages
and have different ways of understanding the world
And as they adapted to the different lands in which they lived
they took on different colours and shapes of body and face
and different branches of the family called themselves different clans or tribes, or nations
Now not only do the tribes of the family of humankind sometimes look different and speak different languages
but also they often have different ideas of what is a right and proper way to behave
Some tribes will think it is important to dress a certain way
while another tribe will have rules to make sure that you dress in another way entirely
And tribes usually have a part of the world that they call their own
in which anyone who goes to live there needs to follow that tribe's rules
even if they come from another tribe that thinks and lives quite differently
Caring for the world and all its creatures is a duty for all muslims
and in the Way of Islam it is understood
that people need to take care of the world
if they want to take care of themselves.
