Adam and Eve

In six days, God created the universe from nothingness and slept on the 7th day. He made Adam in his own likeness and Eve from Adam's rib. He instructed Adam and Eve to explore the magnificent garden of Eden but to refrain from eating the apple of the Tree of Wisdom. That was the Fruit of the Forbidden Tree!

.

Adam and Eve obediently followed God, but the Demon, disguised as a snake, captivated Eve and convinced her to eat the Forbidden Fruit. She then encouraged Adam to consume it as well. Suddenly, innocence was snatched away. Humans were conscious of their nudity and attempted to conceal it. God was dissatisfied with his creatures and expelled them from Eden for this first act of disobedience, original sin. He also ordered that women would be accountable to men and that the offspring of Adam and Eve – the whole mankind – would bear the consequences of their transgression.

Numerous Jewish, Christian, and Islamic schools of thought dispute on certain specifics of this tale. In Jewish folklore, the fruit is referred to as a pomegranate. In Christian legend, it is referred to as an apple. It is the banana in Arabic tradition, since they connected India with her silks and spices with the Garden of Eden.
