Overall meaning : Allah, Exalted be He, commanded Adam and his wife, Eve, to dwell in Paradise and to eat of its fruit from wherever they pleased, but not to approach a certain tree that He had shown them, stating that if they ate of its fruit they would be among those who violate His limits.
Then Satan deceitfully whispered evil thoughts to Adam and Eve so that he might reveal to them their intimate parts that had remained hidden from them, falsely claiming that Allah had only forbidden them that tree lest they might become angels or immortals. He swore by Allah Almighty to them that he had offered them his sincere advice.
Thus he cunningly deluded them and tempted them into eating of that tree. When they did, their intimate parts became exposed to them. They felt embarrassed and so they began to cover their bodies with the leaves of Paradise in order to conceal what was revealed of their intimate parts. Their Lord called out to them and reprovingly said, 'Did I not forbid you both to approach that tree, and say to you that Satan is surely an open and outright enemy to you?’
Admitting their disobedience, they said, 'Our Lord we have wronged ourselves. If you do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely be among the losers.’
Allah Almighty ordered Adam, Eve and Satan to get down to earth as enemies to one another, along with their descendants, stating that they would settle on earth so long as they lived, be buried underground after their death and to have on earth their livelihood until the time of their death. 'There you will live,’ He said, 'and there you will die, and from it you will be brought forth on Resurrection Day for judgement.’
