Story of Adam (and Eve)

Story of Adam (and Eve) from “Scripture”

Adam (and Eve), from “Scripture”, Torah and Bible, NIV Genesis 2:4-25:

Adam and Eve

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
    for she was taken out of man.”

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

NIV Genesis 2:4-25

NIV Genesis 3

The Fall

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a] and hers;
he will crush your head,
    and you will strike his heel.”

16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
    with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.”

17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’

“Cursed is the ground because of you;
    through painful toil you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
    you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
    since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
    and to dust you will return.”

20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

NIV Genesis 3
“…to work the ground from which he had been taken.”

Stories of Adam in the Koran

The repetitions of the story of Adam, by Muhammad, in the Koran

Story of Adam

2:30 And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority.” They said, “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?” Allah said, “Indeed, I know that which you do not know.” 31 And He taught Adam the names – all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, “Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful.”

32 They said, “Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise.”

33 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 [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed.”

34 And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.

35 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.”

36 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.”

37 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.

38 We said, “Go down from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance – there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. 39 And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs – those will be companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.”

Koran 2:30-39

Story of Adam

7:11 And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated. 12 [Allah] said, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” [Satan] said, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.” 13 [Allah] said, “Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased.

14 [Satan] said, “Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”

15 [Allah] said, “Indeed, you are of those reprieved.”

16 [Satan] said, “Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path. 17 Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You].”

18 [Allah] said, “Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them – I will surely fill Hell with you, all together.”

19 And “O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.”

20 But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, “Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal.” 21 And he swore [by Allah ] to them, “Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors.”

22 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?”

23 They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”

24 [Allah] said, “Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time.” 25 He said, “Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.”

Koran 7:11-25

Story of Adam

15:26 And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud. 27 And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

28 And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, “I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud. 29 And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration.”

30 So the angels prostrated – all of them entirely, 31 Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated.

32 [Allah] said, “O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?”

33 He said, “Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud.”

34 [Allah] said, “Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled. 35 And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense.”

36 He said,”My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”

37 [Allah] said, “So indeed, you are of those reprieved 38 Until the Day of the time well-known.”

39 [Iblees] said, “My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all 40 Except, among them, Your chosen servants.”

41 [Allah] said, “This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight. 42 Indeed, My servants – no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators. 43 And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all. 44 It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated.”

Koran 15:26-44

Story of Adam

17:61 And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, “Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?”

62 [Iblees] said, “Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few.”

63 [Allah] said, “Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of you – an ample recompense. 64 And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them.” But Satan does not promise them except delusion. 65 Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.

Koran 17:61-65

Story of Adam

20:115 And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination. 116 And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused. 117 So We said, “O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer. 118 Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed. 119 And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun.”

120 Then Satan whispered to him; he said, “O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?

121 And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.

122 Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

123 [Allah] said, “Descend from Paradise – all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me – then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter]. 124 And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.”

125 He will say, “My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?”

126 [Allah] will say, “Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten.”

Koran 20:115-126

Story of Adam

38:67 Say, “It is great news 68 From which you turn away. 69 I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam]. 70 It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner.”

71 [So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay 72 So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration.”

73 So the angels prostrated – all of them entirely. 74 Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.

75 [Allah] said, “O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?”

76 He said, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.”

77 [Allah] said, “Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled. 78 And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense.”

79 He said, “My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”

80 [Allah] said, “So indeed, you are of those reprieved 81 Until the Day of the time well-known.”

82 [Iblees] said, “By your might, I will surely mislead them all 83 Except, among them, Your chosen servants.”

84 [Allah] said, “The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say – 85 [That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together.”

And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord.

Repetition, thy name is Muhammad.

Origin of the Story

Quran and Mysticism: “Bow Down Before Adam!”

Story of Adam in Tafsir

Muhammad has no concept or idea of what sperm or egg is. This is further confirmed in Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 16:3 with this story:

The Messenger of Allah spat in his palm, then he said, “Allah, may He be exalted, says: ‘O son of Adam, how could you be more powerful than I when I have created you from something like this, and when I have fashioned you perfectly and made you complete,…'”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 16:3

Note the “cross-contamination” in the story, where Allah speaks in the PAST of the SPIT in Muhammad’s palm in Muhammad’s PRESENT. Also, note how Muhammad didn’t need Gabriel to speak as Allah. This shows that Allah is inside Muhammad’s head, imaginary, incoherent with reality, and false.
