The document compares how the Bible and Quran describe what happened with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. According to the Bible, Eve was misled by Satan and took the fruit, giving it to Adam and causing mankind to be expelled from heaven. The Quran says that Satan misled both Adam and Eve equally, and that Allah forgave them before sending them to Earth, whereas the Bible portrays Eve as bearing the blame and punishment. Islam is said to uplift women's status by not singling out Eve or the concept of original sin through her actions.

9. Satan misleads both Adam & Eve

Then Satan whispered to them, disclosing to them their
private parts that had been concealed from them. He said,
'Your Lord has only forbidden you this tree lest you become
angels or among those who live for ever.' He swore to them, 'I
am one of those who give you good advice.' So he enticed
them to do it by means of trickery. Then when they tasted the
tree, their private parts were disclosed to them and they
started stitching together the leaves of the Garden in order to
cover themselves. Their Lord called out to them, 'Did I not
forbid you this tree and say to you, "Satan is an outright
enemy to you"?' (Surat al-A'raf, 20-22)

10. Satan misleads both
 But Satan whispered to him, saying, 'Adam,
shall I show you the way to the Tree of
Everlasting Life and to a kingdom which will
never fade away?' So the two of them ate
from it and their private parts were disclosed
to them and they started stitching together
the leaves of the Garden to cover themselves.
Adam disobeyed his Lord and became misled.
(Surah Ta Ha, 120-121)

11. Allah forgives
 Then Adam received from his Lord Words.
And his Lord pardoned him. Verily, He is one
who forgives, the Most Merciful.
 We Said:" Get down all of you from this place
(the paradise), then whenever there comes to
you Guidance from Me, and whoever follows
My Guidance, there shall be no fear on them,
nor shall they grieve.
 (Surah Baqarah 37,38)

12. Story of Adam
Christianity Vs Islam

13. Who is to blame?


The verses from the Bible and Quran make it very
clear that it is ONLY the Christian account that puts
the entire blame on Eve and also shows the low
status of women in Christianity by the punishment of
conception and labor
Islam uplifts the status of women. Both Adam and
Eve were mislead by Satan, who is the real culprit
and Allah forgives them before they are sent to
Earth. There is NO original sin in Islam.
