Adam and the Forbidden Tree: Exegesis of Quran 2:36
August 26, 2024
Menu
Contrary to the common belief that Adam(as) was forbidden to approach a physical tree, a study of the Quranic verses reveals that the command addressed a concept of much greater significance.
The common belief that Adam(as) was placed in Heaven finds no support in the Quran. In truth, he was sent as a guide for people on earth and was made to live therein.
Heaven and hell are not material worlds that come from outside but are physical manifestations of man’s spiritual conditions in this world. They arise as the consequences of human actions in this life.
