قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَاوَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ 23

23. They said: Our
Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If Thou forgive us not and have not mercy on
us, surely we are of the lost!
24. He said: Get you
down (from here), one of you a foe unto others. And there will be for you on
earth a habitation and provision for a while.
25. He said: There
shall ye live, and there shall ye die; and thence shall ye be brought forth.

Commentary
Naturally
a power to recognize Allah Almighty exists in the human beings. They are His
obedient and servants. They have sense to understand His Commands. Since that,
they have been designed on the Good, so they are not ready to accept any other
as worse in the affairs, cheat and impostor, until they are not deceived.
There
is a fault of forgetting into the mankind too. To err or be mistaken by them is
not a big thing. Then it is in their nature also that whenever they err, they
repent and feel abashed. And if anyone assures someone of them that he has fallen
short in my (his) right, he becomes ready to apologize from him.
Keep
these entire matters under consideration: You will find that whatsoever was
committed by Adam and His wife Eve (peace be upon Them), that all is a part of
the manifestation of their wisdom. Allah Almighty commanded: Don’t go nigh this
tree. They were well aware of it that Allah Almighty was their Lord. They
obeyed His Command. They were told: Satan is your open enemy. They understood
it, but because of being good they could not think that the Devil was a
collusive. He swore, but they could not recognize it other than the truth. Even
they did not know the name of “a lie”. They took his saying as a truth and
considered the meaning of Allah’s Command according to his (Satan’s) conversation.
When
they ate the fruit of that forbidden tree and became naked, then they perceived
about their error and began to be ashamed. After that, Allah Almighty caused to
remember them that Command, which they had forgotten; that is to say; Iblis was
their enemy. Upon this, they realized that (Let us flee to God) it was just
like disobedience of Allah Almighty. They began to express their repentance for
their fault immediately and said as it has been commanded in this verse that
they both fell prostrate before their Lord and prayed: Our Lord! We have
wronged ourselves. Thou art our God. If Thou forgive us not and have not mercy
on us, surely we are of the lost.
Then they were
commanded: You would have understood now that; what the enemy is? Get all of you
down on the earth from here and test your powers against one another. You would
have to live there for a fixed period now, because the Garden cannot be
an amphitheater of throwing down one another, enmity and
mutual contention, whereas; good qualities of yours cannot spring up
without competition. The earth is suitable place for you. Now all matters
regarding your life, death and preparation for coming back here by reproducing,
will happen on the earth. You will come back here, if you succeeded in the competition.
