00:00Silence after the first murder. Imagine a world still young. The earth had not yet learned the noise of cities.
00:09No kingdoms had risen. No armies had marched. No borders had been drawn. There were no legends of war. No
00:18stories of betrayal. No graves scattered across valleys.
00:22Only one family walked the earth. The sky was wide and innocent. The wind moved freely across untouched land. Mountains
00:33stood like silent witnesses to a humanity that had barely begun. And then the first murder happened.
00:42It did not echo through cities. There were no crowds to gasp in horror. No courts. No prisons. No witnesses
00:51but the sky and the trembling earth.
00:54One brother stood over another. One heartbeat continued. One stopped forever. And then the world fell silent.
01:04But this was not peaceful silence. It was heavy. It was fractured. It carried something new. Something the earth had
01:14never carried before. Blood.
01:17Kabil lay lifeless upon the soil. Kabil stood breathing. But something inside him had died as well.
01:26And somewhere nearby, a father would soon learn that one of his sons would never return home again.
01:34This was not just the first crime. This was the birth of consequence.
01:39The first father's grief. Adam was more than the first human. He was the first prophet. The first teacher. The
01:48first guide.
01:49But in that moment, he was something even more fragile. He was a father who had lost his child.
01:56He had raised his sons beneath open skies. He had taught them about obedience to Allah.
02:03He had warned them about jealousy, that quiet fire that burns the heart from within.
02:09He had shown them that righteousness weighs more than pride. That sincerity matters more than strength.
02:16That acceptance from Allah is not earned by appearance, but by intention.
02:22He had watched Kabil grow with gentleness in his heart. He had seen humility in his eyes.
02:29He had witnessed the purity of his sacrifice. And now that same sun lay motionless upon the earth.
02:36Imagine that moment. There had never been a funeral before. Never a burial.
02:42Never a parent standing over the body of a child.
02:46There was no example to follow. No ritual passed down through generations.
02:52There was only shock. The first shattered heart in human history beat inside Adam's chest.
02:59He felt grief, deep and cutting. He felt sorrow, heavy and real.
03:05Prophets are human. They feel pain. They feel loss. They feel tears rising in their eyes.
03:14But prophets do not break away from faith. They do not curse destiny. They do not lose trust in Allah.
03:23Adam did not collapse into despair. He turned his grief into prayer.
03:28He lifted his hands to the sky that once honored him before the angels.
03:34He whispered words only Allah could hear.
03:37And in that moment, humanity learned its first lesson in patience.
03:43Sabr was born not in comfort, but in pain.
03:48Kabil's shadow.
03:49While a father wept with dignity, another son walked in darkness.
03:54Kabil could not escape himself.
03:57The valley felt smaller. The sky felt heavier.
04:01Every breeze seemed to accuse him.
04:04Every stone felt like a witness.
04:07He avoided his parents.
04:09He avoided his mother's eyes.
04:11He avoided the horizon.
04:13Most of all, he avoided his own reflection in the water.
04:18His hands no longer held the weapon.
04:20They looked clean.
04:22But he knew the truth.
04:23The stain was not on his skin.
04:26It was on his soul.
04:29Jealousy had whispered softly at first.
04:32Why him?
04:33Why was his sacrifice accepted?
04:36Why does he receive what you wanted?
04:39That whisper grew louder.
04:41Pride joined it.
04:42You are stronger.
04:44You are more deserving.
04:46You should not be second.
04:48Then anger entered.
04:50Anger does not ask permission.
04:52It does not think of tomorrow.
04:55It does not imagine consequences.
04:57It acts.
04:58And in one irreversible moment,
05:01Kabil crossed a line humanity had never crossed before.
05:05Now regret followed him like a shadow that refused to leave.
05:09But regret is not the same as repentance.
05:13He felt shame, but he did not seek forgiveness.
05:17He felt guilt, but he did not bow in humility.
05:20And without repentance, guilt becomes a prison.
05:25He was free to walk the earth, but inside he was trapped.
05:29This was humanity's first internal war, the war between ego and humility.
05:36And Kabil chose ego.
05:39A lesson from the smallest teacher.
05:41Kabil's body lay upon the ground, still, silent.
05:46The earth had accepted blood, but it had not yet learned burial.
05:51Kabil stood before his brother's body and realized something terrifying.
05:56He did not know what to do.
05:59Death was new.
06:00Loss was unfamiliar.
06:02There was no tradition, no inherited knowledge.
06:06He could not leave the body exposed.
06:08He could not carry it forever.
06:10He was lost, not just morally, but practically.
06:14And then Allah sent a sign.
06:17A crow descended nearby.
06:19Two birds fought.
06:21Claws struck.
06:22Wings flapped violently.
06:24One fell lifeless upon the ground.
06:27The other remained.
06:29The living crow began scratching the earth, digging, moving soil aside with determination.
06:36Then it placed the lifeless crow into the ground and covered it.
06:41Kabil watched.
06:42Silence wrapped around him.
06:44A bird had just solved a problem he could not.
06:48A creature smaller than him, weaker than him, yet wiser in that moment.
06:54Something inside him cracked.
06:56He whispered words heavy with humiliation.
07:00Woe to me!
07:02Am I even more incapable than this crow?
07:05For the first time, arrogance bent slightly.
07:09For the first time, he saw himself clearly.
07:12That moment became humanity's first burial.
07:16The first funeral.
07:18The first recognition that even in death, dignity matters.
07:22Sometimes the greatest lessons do not come from kings.
07:27They come from creatures we overlook.
07:30Sometimes pride must be humbled by something small.
07:34The birth of law.
07:36From that single act of violence, a principle was born.
07:40Life had been violated, and heaven would not remain silent.
07:45The sanctity of life was declared.
07:47It became known that whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he has killed all humanity.
07:54Why?
07:55Because when you justify one unjust killing, you weaken the value of all life.
08:01When you allow one innocent blood to be spilled without consequence, you open the door for more.
08:08Kabeel's crime was not isolated, it echoed.
08:12Through generations, through history, through every unjust act that would follow.
08:18Violence was no longer just an action.
08:21It became a moral earthquake.
08:24It became a line humanity was warned never to cross lightly.
08:28Blood carries consequence.
08:31Every drop speaks.
08:33Every life matters.
08:34And justice became a shield, not just a punishment.
08:38A shield for the innocent.
08:40A reminder for the powerful.
08:42A warning for the arrogant.
08:44A changed world.
08:46After the first murder, something shifted.
08:49Humanity was no longer innocent.
08:52Fear entered hearts.
08:54Suspicion entered relationships.
08:56The possibility of violence became real.
08:59Before this moment, disagreement had not led to death.
09:03Now it had.
09:05Adam understood something profound.
09:08Free will is powerful.
09:10It is what makes humans different.
09:12It allows love to be sincere.
09:15Faith to be meaningful.
09:17Obedience to be chosen.
09:19But free will without discipline destroys.
09:22It turns desire into destruction.
09:25It turns comparison into jealousy.
09:28It turns pride into violence.
09:31Two paths now stood clearly before humanity.
09:35The path of Habil.
09:37Faith.
09:38Patience.
09:39Sincerity.
09:40Sacrifice.
09:41And the path of Kabil.
09:44Jealousy.
09:45Pride.
09:46Anger.
09:47Destruction.
09:48Every generation since has faced the same choice.
09:52Every heart carries both possibilities.
09:55Roy Merce.
09:55Un wealthy servant.
