And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination. 20:115

Here in Paradise you shall go neither hungry nor naked; 20:118
“Nor to suffer from thirst, nor from the sun’s heat.” 20:119
Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, saying : “O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?” 20:120
They both end up eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. As a result their private parts became apparent to them and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves from the Garden. Thus did Adam disobey His Lord and go astray. 20:121
Later on Adam repented and his Lord chose him, accepted his repentance and gave him guidance,  20:122
saying: “Get down from here all of you (Adam, Eve and Iblees); you will remain enemies to one another, whenever there comes to you guidance from Me and whosoever will follow My guidance will neither go astray nor get into trouble;  20:123

So, the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together. 15:30
Except Iblis (Satan), – he refused to be among the prostrators. 15:31
(Allah) said: “O Iblis (Satan)! What is your reason for not being among the prostrators?” 15:32
[Iblis (Satan)] said: “I am not the one to prostrate myself to a human being, whom You created from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.” 15:33

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.  7:11

[ 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.”  7:12

[ Allah ] (Allah) said: “(O Iblis) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.”  7:13

[Satan] said, “Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”  7:14

Allah said: “The respite you requested is hereby granted.”  7:15

[Satan] said, “Since You let me deviate, now I will lie in ambush for mankind on Your Right Way  7:16

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].”  7:17

(Allah) said (to Iblis) “Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all.”   7:18

Allah said: “O Adam! Dwell with your wife in paradise and eat any fruit you please; but never approach this tree or you shall both become wrongdoers.”  7:19

But Shaitan tempted them so that he might reveal to them the private parts of their bodies which they had never seen before. He told them: “Your Lord has forbidden you to approach this tree only to prevent you from becoming angels or immortals.”  7:20

And Shaitan swore [by Allah ] to them, “Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors.”  7:21

So Shaitan 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?”  7:22

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.”  7:23

(Allah) said: “Get down, one of you an enemy to the other [i.e. Adam, Hawwa (Eve), and Shaitan (Satan), etc.]. On earth will be a dwelling-place for you and an enjoyment, – for a time.”  7:24

[ Allah ] said, “Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.”  7:25

O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness – that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.  7:26

O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.  7:27

And when they commit an immorality, they say, “We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it.” Say, “Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?”  7:28

Say, [O Muhammad], “My Lord has ordered justice and that you maintain yourselves [in worship of Him] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion.” Just as He originated you, you will return [to life] –  7:29

A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they had taken the devils as allies instead of Allah while they thought that they were guided.  7:30

And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs (of the sheep, two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and female).

If you disbelieve, then verily, Allah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you what you used to do.
