…he (Shaitan) expelled your parents from the garden...

…he (Shaitan) expelled your parents from the garden, pulling off from them both their clothing that he might show them their evil inclinations… ”[^2] It is also said that: …the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them what had been hidden from them of their inclinations… [^3] On the basis of this in the 22nd verse of the same Surah it says: …their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden… ”[^4] This is also in the meaning of the loss of their clothes.

It does not mean that they were naked and were not aware of it. Thus when Qur’an introduced Adam it says that he was a dressed and respectable person who became naked due to disobedience. (This point is worth noting). On the contrary the Adam introduced by the Bible was naked from the beginning like animals. So much so that he was not even ashamed of his nakedness.

In spite of this clarification of the Holy Qur’an is it proper that such a thing should be associated with and it should be brought on par with Taurat? The most interesting thing is to interpret “Don't eat” to mean “You should eat.” Can there be greater fraud in logic? That negative should be taken as position and evil should be considered good? If the fruit was for eating, why was it named the prohibited tree? What is this method of interpretation and explanation of meaning?

If this method is correct it would be better to judge in the same all the things that are prohibited in the Qur’an and it should be said that the Almighty had desired thus that this prohibited should be acted upon. And if He had not desired thus He would have prevented the people from acting upon it. We are helpless regarding our actions? The Almighty described that we should remain free.

He gave free will to men and left them on their own but side-by-side he has formulated many rules and regulations for his training. Thus this comparison is absolutely incorrect that if Allah did not desire that Adam (a.s.) should eat the prohibited fruit He would have stopped him. Because in the same way this comparison will come true for the sinners. Actually here there is a misunderstanding regarding freewill and compulsion. (Please note). Respected readers!
