The Holy Quran 2:36 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

فَأَزَلَّهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ ۖ وَقُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَـٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

Translation

So Shaytaan (Iblees) caused the two of them to be taken out of Jannah, thereby removing them from that in which they were (from the honour and comfort that they were enjoying. He achieved this by tricking the two unsuspecting souls into eating from the tree). We said (to the couple and their unborn progeny), "Go down (to earth) as enemies to each other. On earth you shall have a place to live and a place to gain benefit for a while (for as long as you live).”

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

فأوقعهما الشيطان في الخطيئة: بأنْ وسوس لهما حتى أكلا من الشجرة، فتسبب في إخراجهما من الجنة ونعيمها. وقال الله لهم: اهبطوا إلى الأرض، يعادي بعضكم بعضًا -أي آدم وحواء والشيطان- ولكم في الأرض استقرار وإقامة، وانتفاع بما فيها إلى وقت انتهاء آجالكم.
