With all this goodness in Chapter 3 (Genesis) we find that the first Man and Woman were not obeying God (Allah, Yahweh). The very first verse of this chapter introduces the old, evil Satan. Animals can be evil. Eve should have said, "Why am I listening to you Satan? You didn't create me."
vs. 3 Notice the tree was positioned in the Middle of the Garden.
vs. 5 as gods?! We should not strive to be like many gods. Our focus should be like the one true God, our Creator.
vs. 6 Eve takes a look at the tree. Now, Satan was a high ranking male angel who was kicked out of heaven. All high ranking angels, and most biblical angels, were said to be males. We are not suppose to worship the angels. We worship God.
vs. 7 There nakedness meant that they knew that they shouldn't have eaten from the tree: They now have new knowledge of humanity. It revealed to them what is good and evil on earth.
vs. 8 They (Adam and Eve) begin hiding from the instructions of God. Sin will do this it will make you feel like you can never talk to God again. Even when we do something wrong we must still talk to our Creator, our Heavenly Father.
vs. 12 Since Adam and Eve are one in God's eyes, if Eve had only eaten the fruit would it have effected Adam? Think about marriage oneness in your response.
vs. 13 beguiled means misled or tricked
vs. 15 We are able to separate ourselves from Satan's temptations by speaking the truth and obeying God's instructions.
vs. 20 The last creature to be given a name was Woman.
vs. 24 Cherubims are angels.
Holy Quran Surah II: 29-41
vs. 29 The biblical meaning of the number 7 is completion.
vs. 31 Allah is asking the angels, "Can you name them?"
vs. 36 Satan is now referred to as the trickster - Shaitan. Notice how words are added in ( ). It is because in the old language this particular society did not complete thoughts when speaking. This was the language used in Africa and Asia.
vs. 38 We is Allah (God), the Holy Spirit, and the angels
vs. 41 Allah says it is no harm to earn wages for pastoring. If a person does not earn a lot than do not expect a lot. If a person earns much than expect much. We are not to fear Shaitan.
