Adam received 'kalimatin' from his Lord (Q2:37) when he prayed for cover and mercy.
Abraham was tried with 'kalimatin' which he completed (Q2:124) before being appointed Imam.
There is no changing Allah's 'kalimat' (Q6:34) His Help definitely comes eventually for His Messengers.
Allah's 'kalimati' was completed in truth and justice (Q6:115) He sent the clear guidance and laws to judge whereby, even though the disbelieving shayateen (both humans and jinns) are averse to it and strive against it.
Screenshot from quran.comAll humans are being invited to believe in the foretold Messenger of Allah, ..., the ummi Prophet who believes in Allah and His 'kalimati' (Q7:158), and follow him, so that you may be guided.

According to Bible (Genesis 3), after Adam's disobedience and its consequent disrobing, they were sentenced to certain difficult trials in the life of this world. The following is an excerpt from Adam's Fall in Genesis 3 in the light of The Quran:
Genesis 3 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent: 'Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou from among all cattle, and from among all beasts of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
upon thy belly...
In Surah al-Mulk, we read:
أَفَمَن يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّن يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road
[Al-Quran 67:22, Translation: Pickthal]... dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
Quoting https://creation.com/snakes-do-eat-dust
There is an organ in the roof of a snake’s mouth called ‘Jacobson’s organ’. This helps the snake to smell in addition to its nose. Its darting, forked tongue samples bits of dust by picking them up on the points of the fork, which it then presents to its matching pair of sensory organs inside its mouth. Once it has ‘smelt’ them in this way, the tongue must be cleaned so the process can be repeated immediately.
Therefore serpents really do lick dust and eat it.
Genesis 3 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel.' {S}Genesis 3 16 Unto the woman He said: 'I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy travail; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.' {S}
Genesis 3 17 And unto Adam He said: 'Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying: Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
Genesis 3 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Genesis 3 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'
Excerpt from The Beginning of Agriculture:
The Bible informs us that agriculture was the punishment meted out to Adam for his disobedience.Biblical scholars date Adam to have existed anywhere between 4,000 -10,000 years ago.Agriculture is generally dated to have started around 7,000 - 9,000 years ago.There seems to be an overlap, if the above assumed dates are correct. However, there are many differences of opinions. The common theme is that:
- humans existed before Adam (Genesis 1, Quran 15:26),
- Adam was created later (Genesis 2, Quran 15:28),
- agriculture came into existence later
The Bible and The Quran inform us that initially Adam had been placed in a comfortable Garden where all his needs were provided for. The cultivated Garden pre-existed Adam.

So, here we are, living out our lives in the 'kalimat' of our Lord. Men must work, women must endure the pains of childbirth, the snake must taste dust, ... Allah promised guidance, and sent many prophets and messengers with clear guidance and laws. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the the final Messenger of Allah. The Quran is Allah's final message to mankind before the promised reckoning. We must heed to it before the Hour comes upon us.
We are living in the Grace of Allah's acceptance of our 'duas'. We must make the best of the opportunity given to us, embrace the trials of this life, and place our hope in Allah's Promise of a beautiful return to the Gardens of Eternal Bliss.
[Al-Quran, Surah alFurqan, ayaat 70-77, Reciter: Abdur Rahman as-Sudais]
