The Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden is a paradise created by Allah for Adam and his wife, Hawa (Eve). The Garden of Eden was a place of perfect beauty and bliss, where Adam and Hawa lived in harmony with nature and enjoyed the blessings of Allah.
The Garden of Eden was filled with all kinds of fruit trees, including the famous tree of knowledge, which Allah commanded Adam and Hawa not to eat from. However, Satan deceived them into eating from the tree, which led to their expulsion from paradise to earth.

The First Commandment
The first commandment given to Adam by Allah was to worship Him and to avoid all forms of idolatry. Allah created Adam with the ability to recognize Him as the one true God and to worship Him alone. This commandment set the foundation for Adam's relationship with Allah and the rest of creation.
The first commandment given to Adam reminds Muslims of their obligation to worship Allah and to avoid all forms of idolatry or polytheism. It also emphasizes the importance of monotheism in Islam and the need to maintain a pure and sincere relationship with Allah.

Repentance and Forgiveness
When Adam and Hawa disobeyed Allah and ate from the forbidden tree, they realized their mistake and immediately repented. They turned to Allah in sincere remorse and sought His forgiveness. Allah, being the most merciful and forgiving, forgave them and showed them the way to repentance and redemption. In Islam, repentance and seeking forgiveness are considered essential for spiritual growth and purification.
The story of Adam and Hawa's repentance and forgiveness serves as a powerful reminder of Allah's mercy and forgiveness. It encourages Muslims to seek forgiveness for their sins and to strive towards righteousness and good deeds.
Then Adam received words from his Lord, so He relented towards him. He is the Relenting, the Merciful Quran 2:37

The Expulsion from Jannah
After Adam and Hawa ate from the forbidden tree, they were expelled from the Garden of Eden and sent to live on Earth. This event marked the beginning of human history and the start of our journey towards righteousness and redemption. The expulsion from Jannah was a consequence of Adam and Hawa's disobedience and their failure to follow Allah's commandments. It was a difficult and painful experience, but it also provided them with an opportunity for growth and learning.
The story of Adam and Hawa's expulsion from
Jannah teaches us to be mindful of our actions and to always strive towards righteousness and obedience to Allah's commandments.
We said, "O Adam, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So do not let him make you leave the Garden, for then you will suffer.
Quran 20:117
