Adam n Eve were placed in a garden in a state of happiness. God instructed them to eat from any tree. . . except from one specific tree. They were deceived into eatin from the forbidden tree. Their nakedness became apparent to them. They were expelled from the garden.

1) Neither Quran nor Bible names the fruit. Bible calls it Tree of Knowledge of Good n Evil. Quran does not call it as such, but teaches that humans are already inspired with knowledge of good n evil at creation. This knowledge did not come about cos of eatin from a forbidden tree.

Bible says Adam was not deceived, but only Eve. She then gave the fruit to Adam, and he ate. Quran mentioned that they were both deceived. Quran does not single out Eve for blame in any passage.

4) Bible says they heard the sound of God walkin in the garden, they hid from Him. God called out, lookin for Adam, and asked if he ate from the forbidden tree. Quran n Bible both teach that God knows everythin always

5) Bible says, when the couple were confronted with their mistake, they blamed each other, and Adam even blamed God cos God gave him the woman who gave him the fruit. Quran says, they did not pass the blame- instead, both repented.

7) Bible says they were driven out of the garden because God was afraid that they would eat from the tree of Life and live forever. Quran says God's plan was to educate our 1st parents in paradise, then send them into the world for a limited time, to resist satan, the enemy

8) Bible says, God said that if they ate the forbidden fruit, they would surely die. Serpent said they would not surely did. Serpent was right, they did not die- Adam lived for 930yrs!

Quran says, God said that if Adam n Eve eat from the forbidden tree, they would become wrongdoers, will have to leave the garden, and come out to where they will have to labour. Satan said if they eat the fruit, they will live forever. Satan was wrong- they did not live forever
