Sheeth (AS)

Adam (AS) had a son named Sheeth or seth. Sheeth was a gift and even the name sheeth means gift. Sheeth was the gift given by Allah (SWT) to prophet Adam (As) after the death of his beloved son Habil. Habil was the righteous son and was righteous servent of Allah (SWT). So Adam(As) as a righteous man who was attached to Habil and when he lost Habil was very upset so Allah (SWT) replaced Habil with Sheeth. Who was not only a righteous man but a prophet and messenger of Allah. And Adam named him Sheeth as a gift of Allah (SWT).

This son of Adam was very close to him he obeyed his instructions and he learned from his father and he used to remind his brother and Nephew and so on grandnephews whilst Adam (As) was alive as well he continued to remind and remind people of there beginning because there was nothing else to remind them at that peticular time. Besides to worship Allah alone and how Satan had made a promise and so on.

And Sheeth after the death of his father Adam (As) he ruled the children of Adam (As) and he ruled with justice and he ruled according to Allah (SWT) law. And he brought unity between the people around him. But Satan could not stop his plotting.

On the other hand Kane and his descendent of Kane grew and grew more than the people around Sheeth. Kane or Qabil was aggressive and was manipulated by Satan so he left Adam (As) and went very far away. Adam used to live in mountains regions in the mountains. Kane left the mountains to live in flat lands.

Sheeth(AS) was given orders by Allah to stay away to never mix with the people who had gone to the other side. It was part of his shariyah. There was a distinct sign as the man from Kane side was not very good looking. But the woman was very good looking. When it comes to Sheeth side it was opposit.((according to narrations I am not speaking from my own)) Iblis made himself to take form of a young boy and went to place where Kane descend lives. He started working there as apprentice and he made a flute and stated making sounds. And he introduced to it to everyone. People never saw what it was they never heard such melodies. There no sounds people had heard at beginning of time. Then he created a drum and started beating it creating more sounds. More and more people came to see what was he doing and was amazed. Then he took piece of metel and started beating it. Creating different sounds.

They thought themselves as intelligent. They thought themselves advanced. They got so engrossed in it that the forgot  Allah. On other hand Sheeth (AS) continued to remind his people what was right what was wrong so on. And on this hand we find them Satan is teaching them how to do evil. How to create evil.

Satan when played the flute people started to move there bodies to the flute. The more they hear musical instruments the more body parts started reacting to the sounds. This is how they introduced musical instruments to existence and through that he would control them. They literary set aside a day a evening a Saturday evening for music and dance and to day it last. They would party every Saturday evening.
