Adam and Eve's disobedience from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets by Ismāʻīl ibn ʻUmar Ibn Kathīr
When Allah created Adam and Eve, He placed them in the paradise of bliss and allowed them to eat from any tree except for one. Allah warned them that Satan was their enemy and that they should be cautious of him. Satan, in his arrogance, tricked Adam and Eve into eating from the forbidden tree by promising them eternal life and kingship. They both succumbed to his deception and ate from the tree, disobeying Allah's command. Upon realizing their mistake, Adam and Eve felt ashamed and tried to cover themselves with leaves from the paradise. Allah knew of their disobedience and informed them that they had been deceived by Satan. He then expelled them from paradise and sent them down to earth as punishment for their disobedience. However, Allah assured them that He would send guidance to mankind and whoever follows it will not go astray. Adam and Eve were remorseful for their actions and sought forgiveness from Allah. They admitted their error and repented sincerely. Allah, in His mercy, forgave them and accepted their repentance. He also taught them words of prayer to seek forgiveness and guidance whenever they erred. Adam and Eve learned the importance of obedience to Allah's commands and the consequences of disobedience. The story of Adam and Eve's disobedience serves as a lesson for mankind. It highlights the consequences of succumbing to temptation and disobeying Allah's commands. It also emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness and repenting sincerely when one makes a mistake. By learning from Adam and Eve's experience, we can strive to avoid the pitfalls of disobedience and maintain our obedience to Allah.
