And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife,
in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and]
abundance from wherever you will. But do not
approach this tree, lest you be among the
wrongdoers."
Allah fulfilled all their needs in Jannah
Ayah 35
• Seen Kaaf Noon = Peace
• Raa Ghaain Dhaaw = the abundance of
something; also used for comfort and joy
– Eat of Jannah without any restrictions
– Qaaf Raa Baa = (Qurb); close; do not eat of the tree
and do not even go near the tree
– Zaaw Laam Meem = harming; injustice; when we
disobey Allah SWT, we are only harming ourselves
– Dual Words – indicated by Alif
•Responsibility of both Adam and Hawa A.S.
But Satan caused them to slip out of it and
removed them from that [condition] in which
they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of
you], as enemies to one another, and you will
have upon the earth a place of settlement and
provision for a time."
First trick of Satan
Based on Lies
“So he (Satan) misled them with deception.” (Quran 7:22)
Ayah 36
• Zaa Laam Laam – (Zalla): to slip; make a
mistake; to make someone else slip
• Shaitaan made both Adam and Hawa A.S. slip
from Jannah, luxury, freedom and pleasure
• Haa Baa Taaw – to come down from above by
force;

Ayah 36
• Aai’in Daal Waaw –
• 1. crossing limits in your enmity
• 2. human beings will be enemies of one
another
• 3. shaitaan will be an enemy to the humans
• Adam A.S. was sent to that garden as a test to
learn about his enemy
Ayah 36
• Qaaf Raa Raa – (Qaraar): to become still or
settle down
• Meem Taa Aa’in – necessity of life and
something that a person enjoys; they’re also
temporary
– Either they will finish or you will finish
Allah tested Adam so that he could learn and gain
experience.
Allah prepared Adam for his role on earth
From this experience, Adam learned that Iblis was
his enemy, the cause of his losing the blessing of
living in Paradise, and the cause of his distress
Obedience to Allah and enmity towards Satan is
the only path back to Heaven.
How does Satan Trick Us?
Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words,
and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He
who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.
Doors of repentance are always open
Ayah 37
• Laam Qaaf Yaa – to receive something; to
accept something with happiness and
enthusiasm
• Kalimah – taught these words to Adam A.S. so
that he could repent (Ara’f:23); words through
which they prayed for forgiveness
• Taa Waaw Baa – literally: to return;
repentance; stop and turn back to the
obedience of Allah SWT
Ayah 37: Tawbah
Human Beings: stop
the sin and turn back
to Allah SWT
Allah SWT: when Allah
turns to His slave with
mercy and accepts
the repentance

And when guidance comes to you

his wife and his progeny (all of the human
beings)
• Hamza Taa Yaa – any guidance; revelation
• Taa Baa Aa’in – to follow something
completely
• Khaa Waaw Faa – fear about the future
• Haa Zaa Noon – regret over the past

then you will have no fear or grief in
this world or in the Hereafter
And those who disbelieve and
deny Our signs - those will be
companions of the Fire; they will
abide therein eternally."
Ayah 39

Prophet SAW
• But these people will be companions of the
hell fire together and forever
‫َك َف ُروا َو َكذَُّبُاا ُِبآ ََّي ِنِت َا‬

Adam did not have any experience with the
whisperings and ploys of Satan.
He knew that Satan was his enemy but had
no familiarity with how to resist Satan’s
tricks and schemes.
That experience was essential for their life
on earth
When Allah wanted to create Adam, He
said to the angels: "Indeed, I will make
upon the earth a successive authority." He
did not say: "I shall make a successive
authority in Paradise."
Adam's descent on earth was not due to
degradation but rather it was a dignified descent.
