What is Juz by Juz: Allah and the Angels about?
Juz by Juz: Allah and the Angels is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children tell the story of the creation of Prophet Adam (AS), the first human, and what the angels said when Allah told them about him.
Allah told the angels that He was going to create human beings. The angels said that humans might sometimes do bad deeds, and Allah told them that He knows what they do not. Allah made Adam from clay of different colours, some lighter and some darker. The Sheikh explains that this is why people have different skin colours, and that we all come from Adam and are equal in the sight of Allah. The first thing Adam did was sneeze and say Alhamdulillah.
Allah then taught Adam the names of many things, and asked the angels to tell Him those names. They answered that they knew only what Allah had taught them. Learning is good, the Sheikh tells the children.
The episode also tells how the souls of all of Adam's children were brought out from his back, and how Adam saw the bright face of Prophet Dawud (AS) among them and gave him years from his own life.
Along the way the children practise the Islamic greeting, hear that Allah forgives two Muslims who shake hands when they meet, draw on their pads and answer a quiz about the month the Qur'an was revealed, its thirty juz and its first surah.

- Allah knows what we do not know.
