A child walks into a room and breaks his mom's favorite vase. Mom gasps and asks, "who did this?!" All-while knowing plainly who did it! The guilty little human answers," The baby did it!"
A typical scenario. Yet, it has so much to tell.
The child's claim is a vengeful lie. A truthful lie too. It's not an utter lie though because it is an innate reaction: blame!
Maybe what the child was unable to say was: breaking your favorite vase was my way of asking for the attention you've been paying only to the baby. So, yes, in that child's mind he's more than innocent and the baby did do it.
But putting a blame on mistakes you know were purely your fault isn't gonna always be cute and adorable. You grow up and you learn that a blame only gives a temporary relief to an ensuing guilt.
And God created us and he knows that it's only our nature to put a blame on anyone or anything but ourselves when we're in a catastrophe, and that's why he conveyed to us the story of his prophet Adam( PBUH). Before Allah even created Adam, he told the Angels that he'll send him to Earth. God knew that Adam was to be sent down to Earth before he created him; he's the All-Knowing. Once Adam (PBUH) ate from the forbidden tree, the first blame of mankind was instantly sought out: shaitan ( the devil). And that's the challenge, you have to fight your inner demons and the devil if you want to make it back to heaven!
