Machine summary:
"Also, according to the Torah, God warned Adam and Eve that they would die upon eating from the tree.
21 Among the various notions regarding the heaven Adam and Eve resided in, some believe it to be the promised paradise for the righteous and pure; however, it seems that it actually was not heaven, but rather a peaceful garden situated in a very green and lush area of earth because: a) the promised paradise has everlasting blessings, where various verses have mentioned its everlasting and endless quality, and leaving it is not possible, b) the corrupt and faithless Satan will have no room in that heaven, nor his whispers of temptation, nor any sort of disobedience to God, and c) prophetic traditions, which have been passed down to us from the Ahlul Bayt, explicitly talk about this topic.
’38 The Torah explains the talk between God and Adam and his punishment as such: To Adam he said, ‘Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ ‘Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
43 Conclusion According to that which has been discussed, it is clear that the descent of Adam and Eve has similarities and differences in the Qur’an and Torah."
