Adam And Eve In Quran
Nadeem sahab did you go through the video above to understand why Ghamidi sahab has understood the tree to be that of procreation?
I listened to the video, 9 min out of 50. I do not see the purpose of listening any further as I have fundamental differences in how Ghamidi Sahib stretches the meaning in a completely different direction based on his opinion and without strong references. Here are the notes I took. -It is a far stretch that heaven was on earth as Iblis, Adam and humans were sent down to Earth for a while. To me it is very clear. -Also if they were on Earth, why their bodies were not visible to them until they ate the tree -The tree was not for eternal life as Ghamidi Sahib explains, to me Iblis told Adam that this tree is to achieve eternal life. Later Ghamidi Sahib stated what I said. So no difference. -Generally I feel Ghamidi Sahib stretches the meaning too far on most vague subjects and takes in a completely different direction. I find Quran meaning very direct and streight forward, except for minor differences in treanslation.
The key is to be able to judge the evidence that others provide in an open minded manner. When we pre-suppose something while reading the Quran, it’s easy to get misled. However, being able to critically analyze another person’s opinion is how we can really get closer to the truth. Quran verse 7:27 is very clear that Satan seduced Adam and Eve and drove them out of the garden. In that verse God is asking us to be aware of Satan because he will seduce us in the same way.
