125. From this, emerge two issues:
1. The preparation of the body of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) took place after a time and was completed in forty years. Thereafter, the soul was breathed into the body.
 2. This verse is the origin of the blowing of the pious sages on the people for cure and blessings.
126. This tells us that this prostration was not only for the body of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace), but for his blessed soul as well. But, since the heart was made the seat of Divine refulgence, it too became the prostrator of Allah Almighty with the soul.
 "However, this prostration was not included in the religious code of Hazrat Adam at all, because his code of religion had not come at that time. Also, religious laws had not been made obligatory upon the angels.Â
If a religious law becomes obligatory, then it would not be for just one occasion, but for all times.
