^{Creation of Adam in Paradise. In the beginning, according to the Sacred Scriptures of the Holy Traditions, Adam and Eve were brought together by the mercy of Allah in the Arabian Desert following a long period of preparation in paradise. Immediately thereafter they created the first house of worship and called it Holy Kaaba. And surrounding this Holy Kaaba they created a city and called it by the name of Holy Mecca. And to better remember the paradise into which they had been born, they created in the desert a second Holy City with green gardens, flowers, great fields of olive and fig trees and other splendors. They gave to this flowering place of the soul the name Jerusalem and dedicated it to the family man. By the time of Adams death, at approximately 1000 years of age, he had more than 4000 descendants. This first human civilization spread through Asia and the Middle East, ended with the great flood during the time of Noah (SM) (Flood receded in 2472 B.C.). The prophet Noah (SM) established the second human civilization, and re-established the animal kingdom with the survivors of the flood. Today Adams seed has populated the Earth with nearly six billion souls. And now, as before, mans holy quest for spiritual perfection and an enduring peace is his highest purpose.}
