  1. Teacher Explanation

Definition:
The fall of man refers to the moment when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and committed the first sin. This event is seen as the beginning of human separation from God.

 

  1. Scriptural References

Bible – Genesis 3:

  • God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden with one rule: Do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
  • The serpent (Satan) tempted Eve, and she ate the fruit.
  • She gave it to Adam, and he ate too.
  • As a result, sin entered the world.

Quran – Surah Al-Baqarah 2:35–37:

  • Allah told Adam and his wife not to go near a certain tree.
  • They were tempted by Shaitan (Satan).
  • They disobeyed but repented, and Allah forgave them.

 

  1. Consequences of the Fall
  • Suffering – pain and hardships entered the world.
  • Hard labor – man must work hard for food.
  • Pain in childbirth – especially for women.
  • Death – physical and spiritual death became part of human life.
  • Separation from God – they were removed from the Garden.
  • Loss of innocence – they felt shame and guilt.

 

  1. Key Lessons from the Fall
  • Obedience to God is very important.
  • Disobedience (sin) brings punishment.
  • Temptation can lead to sin if we are not careful.
  • God is merciful and forgives those who truly repent.
