Okay, this has been on my mind the whole day. And after searching the entire internet, articles, youtube videos and what not, I cannot find a legitimate answer anywhere. So, I decided to post the question here myself. PLEASE NOTE: The question isn't why Allah didn't forgive Iblish when He forgave Adam (AS) and Eve (RA) for their sins. The Question is WILL ALLAH FORGIVE Iblish IF he decides to REPENT TO ALLAH (SWT). I came across a Dr. Zakir Nayek video during researching and while it did not answer the question (not even close) he mentioned that ***Allah (SWT) has filled Iblish's heart with sins*** (and Allah [SWT] knows the future- yes, undoubtedly). Why would He fill his heart with sins? Isn't it contradicting with the FREE WILL we Mankind and the Jinn possess? What if the Devil finally came to the realization of his horrible mistakes and decided to seek Allah's forgiveness? For indeed Allah is the most Merciful and the most Forgiving, will Allah (SWT) not forgive him? If no then why not?

Assalam o Alaikum brothers, Someone just asked me a question, and to be frank, I didn't have a substantial reply. I'm also quiet confused now regarding this topic. I understand that Allah swt in surah Baqarah 2:30 speaks about creating a Khalifa (vicegerent) on the earth. This was prior to creating Adam (as). I understand that Allah Swt gave Adam (as) free will. Iblees (Laanatallah Alayhi) however, decieved Adam (as) to disobey Allah swt by eating from the forbidden tree. This is as I personally understand, the only reason for him to be expelled from heaven and sent down to earth. Now here is where I'm confused astagfirullah! If Allah swt even prior to creating Adam (as) had already decided to send Adam (as) to earth as seen in Surah Baqarah 2:30. Does this mean that Allah swt had pre destined Adam (as) to disobey? Because if He hadn't, and if Adam (as) wouldn't have disobeyed, he wouldn't be expelled from heaven right? Or would he be expelled regardless of his disobedience? To summarize, from what little I understand, Allah prior to creating Adam(as) willed to create a being whom he would place in the earth as a Khalifa. But the only way that Adam (as) would be expelled is by disobedience to Allah. So Adam (as) didn't really have a choice? And if Adam (as) didn't eat from the tree, would he still be in heaven?

In the Quran: >Allah taught Adam all the names of everything, then He showed them to the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful." They (angels) said: "Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise." > >He said: "O Adam! Inform them of their names," and when he had informed them of their names, He said: "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen in the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you have been hiding?" The Angels say that they have no knowledge except what Allah has taught them. Are their names unknown to them as Allah has not told them - in which case why does Allah ask Adam to tell the Angels their names rather than Himself, or do they know their names but have hidden it from Allah?

In Islam there is a big controversy about who ate the Apple first, unlike Christianity where Eve ate the apple first. So who ate it first? Or did they eat it at the same time? **Reasons for controversy** In Quran God said: > **فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ يَا آدَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لّا يَبْلَى**
>Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?" **[20:120]** So it is Adam who ate it?? While in another verse in Quran God Said: >**فَدَلاَّهُمَا بِغُرُورٍ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَنَادَاهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِي**
>So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?" **[7:22]** so now it is Adam and Eve?? and again, In another verse God said: >**وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَا إِلَى آدَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْمًا**
> And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.**[20:115]** so is it Adam?? But again!! Mohammed (pbuh) said in Hadith? >لولا حواء لم تخن أنثى زوجها الدهر
>If not for Eve, no women ever cheated her husband.
> رواه البخاري في صحيحه في كتاب الأنبياء (3152) و(3218) , ورواه مسلم في كتاب الرضاع (1470) ورواه الإمام أحمد في مواضع عدة من المسند. So now it is Eve!! These are not all verses from Quran and Hadiths that has opposite meaning (or at least it seems like it has opposite meanings) which is the reason why some Muslims argue about this issue.

In the Qur'an we have these verses: > And they ate [DUAL] thereof, and their [DUAL] shame became clear to > them; and they [DUAL] began to draw over them of the leaves of the > garden; and Adam opposed his Lord, so he erred. (20:121) > > Then his Lord chose him [masc. Singular], and turned towards him, and > guided. (20:122) And: > Then received Adam words from his Lord, and He turned towards him > [masc. Singular]; He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful. > (2:37) So in terms of the Arabic (male singular), only Adam was forgiven, not Hawah. What's the explanation for this? JAK.

We know incest is forbidden in Islam and other religions. But when we go back to the first human being on earth, prophet Adam, we know that he had children with his wife Eve. And as we are all coming from both of them, it means at some point incest had to happen right. Maybe I am wrong but I really want to understand this aspect. Maybe there is a good explanation for it. Was incest permisssible at that time only temporary ? Or were there more than 2 human being created right after Adam and Eve

Bismillah. Alhamdulillahi rabbil-'alamin was-Salatu was-Salam 'ala Sayyidil-Mursalin wa 'ala 'Alihi wa Sahbihi Ajma'in. ---------- So the question is **How did Adam and Hawwa multiply?** I'd like to know both Sunni and Shia views.

We are told that no one will be punished for another person's sins. However when Adam (as) and Hawa (Eve) went against Allah (swt) instructions and ate from the forbidden tree, they were sent on Earth as a punishment and test. Now, the rest of mankind did not eat from the forbidden tree, then why are we on Earth and being tested if this was a punishment for their wrong doing? Also if a person does something evil, we are told we will always pay for our wrong doing (unless we repent). We might pay for our wrong doing in this dunya or in the hereafter. There are many ways we can be punished in this dunya, e.g. through our wealth, health or even children. Now, why are the children being punished e.g. by being afflicted by a disability because of their parent's wrong doing?

Incest is forbidden now, in Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Yet Adam and Eve and their children, how did they procreate? Jesus was made without a father and Adam without both parents at all. If incest is so abhorrent, why weren't humans made for the Adam and Eve's kids. Even Abraham married his half-sister. 1. God can create humans from nothing/no parents. 2. Incest is now bad, but was allowed before during Adam/Abraham's time. Was it an emergency before? Not enough humans? Extreme circumstances? Why didn't God make more Humans?

All people that ever lived will live are descendants of Adam and Eve. And likely billions of these people went to hell because they have committed great sins or became non-believers. So much suffering happened just because Adam and Eve had children. If they were to decide to not to have kids, there would be no people in hell. Even knowing that they are potentially bounding numerous numbers of souls into infinite suffering, Adam and Eve had children. In my opinion, that is not a right thing to do. Does the fact that they had kids mean that Adam and Eve are evil sinners? They could have avoided so much suffering but they did not and it deeply saddens me.

The translation is: > Remember, when your Lord said to the angels: "*I have to place a > trustee on the **earth*** 1....." [2:30] And these two ayah shows us how Adam and his wife lived in Janna, but after they made a mistake, God send them to Earth. **[2:35]** > And We said to Adam: "Both you and your spouse live in the **Garden**, eat > freely to your fill wherever you like, but approach not this tree or > you will become transgressors.2 **[2:36]** > .... Go, one the antagonist of the other, and live on the **earth** for a time > ordained, and fend for yourselves."3 I heard the story like this: Adam and his wife were living in Janna, they made a mistake for eating the tree because of Shaitan's temptation, Allah send them on the Earth. But as we see, Allah told angles I have to place a trustee on the Earth, then Does Allah made his decision to put them on the Earth even before their mistake? OR **Does the word Earth in first ayah means Garden or Janna but in implicit way?** --- 1, 2, 3: From **tanzil.net** , the translation of **Ahmed Ali**

I got confused because both of the Stories have striking similarities i would like an explanation?

Today I have a discussion with a Christian office colleague. He said that Prophet Isa is not from the blood line of Adam. Because when husband and wife interact with each other then in the result the baby is born. But nobody touches Mariam (A.I), and Prophet Isa born by the power of Allah. So he said, Prophet Isa is not from the blood line of Adam. That's why Christians say that the Prophet Isa is the son of God. My question is: Is it true that Prophet Isa is not from the blood line of Adam?

I’m reading the story of Adam and Eve in chapter 7 of the Quran verses 19-22: > “...But you and your wife, Adam, live in the Garden. Both of you eat whatever you like, but do not go near this tree or you will become wrongdoers.’ Satan whispered to them so as so to expose their nakedness, which had been hidden from them: he said, ‘Your Lord only forbade you this tree to prevent you becoming angels or immortals,’ and he swore to them, ‘I am giving you sincere advice’—he lured them with lies. Their nakedness became exposed to them when they had eaten from the tree: they began to put together leaves from the Garden to cover themselves. Their Lord called out to them, ‘Did I not forbid you forbid you to approach that tree? Did I not warn you Satan was your sworn enemy?’” And I have a few questions: 1. Allah knew Adam and Eve will disobey Him by being lured by Shayatan, so why did He let them in paradise if he was just going to kick them out and send them down to Earth?

2. In heaven, we are told we can see Allah. Didn’t that mean Adam and Eve could see Allah? If so, why did they still fall in the trap of Shaytaan because of this? If they could see Allah, wouldn’t that mean they knew Allah would watch them disobey Him? It would have been a different story if they couldn’t see Allah. But if they could see him, Allah is everywhere so it was unlikely Allah Himself wasn’t paying attention when they went to disobey Him because He sees all. Would it be possible Allah didn’t look at Adam and Eve just so they would feel more inclined to disobey Allah by following Shaytaan?

3. In Islam were told we won’t sin in Jannah. So why did Adam and Eve still sin in heaven? I understand Allah was testing them, but doesn’t that go against the definition of paradise? Where one won’t sin/disobey Allah?

فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ يَا آدَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لّا يَبْلَى Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?" [20:120] does that mean Adam and Eve weren't eternal in Heaven and their possessions deteriorated?

**Is fasting on so called "white days" (13th, 14th and 15th day of a lunar month) inherited from Adam and Hawwa?** I heard this claim from an old man, that Adam and Hawwa were the first people to keep this type of fasting. I'd like to know if this is true.

I learned from the Quran that our first parents, Adam and Eve, were living in Paradise until they committed sin/wrong. Quran says that they were forgiven of their sins/wrongdoing. If they were forgiven of their sin/wrong, then why did God being so merciful and gracious make them leave the garden? Does it mean He did not forgive them?"

So Iblis is a jinn because he disobeyed Allah and because he was created from fire. When Allah commanded Al-Malaika to prostrate to Adam, Iblis disobeyed and thus became from the disbelievers. Thus, he cannot remain in the Jannah. So how can Iblis seduce Adam(as), who is in the Jannah, into eating from the forbidden tree? What I mean is that Iblis seduce us, humans and jinn, into committing sins because we are on the same world. Iblis is not in Jannah and is on earth with us, which is not like in the case of Adam(as).

Why Allah has not destroyed Iblees/shaitan till now as he has not obeyed Allah's command. Why Allah will punish human being for shaitan mastermind that he is not letting people to follow Allah. *My primary objective of this question is to know why Allah has not destroyed shaitan yet.*

As Quran says > And indeed, We once made a covenant with Adam, but he forgot, and ˹so˺ > We did not find determination in him. [Quran 20:115] How many years were they... that he just forgot??
