🌍 The story of mankind began with descent — a fall from the nearness of the Divine to the trial of the earthly realm. But this descent was not a punishment; it was a preparation.

He said: “Until the Day of Resurrection.”

✨ Imam al-ʿAskari (a.s.) explained that God said to Adam, Eve, Iblis, and the Serpent:
“The earth shall be your dwelling place — live in it, strive within its days and nights toward the Hereafter. Blessed is the one who disciplines his soul for the Abode of Eternity. From the earth you will eat and benefit, but within it you shall also face trials and tribulations.
At times, I will delight you with worldly bounties so that you may remember the everlasting bliss of the Hereafter. At other times, I will test you with hardships — hidden within which are My mercies — to warn you of the eternal punishment that holds no comfort or rest.”
(Tafsīr Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 5, p. 72; Imam al-ʿAskari, p. 226)
🌾 ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm al-Qummī summarized it beautifully:
“‘Descend, being enemies to one another,’ means Adam and Iblis.
‘And for you there is on the earth a dwelling and enjoyment for a time,’ meaning until the Day of Resurrection.”
