The Quranic narrative of the banishment from the Garden is a foundational story in Islam that emphasizes shared responsibility and divine mercy. According to Islamic scholarship, both Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan, and both partook from the forbidden tree. The Quran uses dual pronouns to describe their joint act of disobedience and their subsequent repentance, making it clear that the blame is shared equally. This perspective starkly contrasts with interpretations that place the primary blame on Eve. Furthermore, Islam rejects the doctrine of 'original sin', teaching that Adam and Eve's repentance was accepted by Allah, and every human is born in a state of purity (fitrah), responsible for their own deeds. The story serves as a lesson in human fallibility, the deceptive nature of Satan, and the boundless mercy and forgiveness of Allah.
