to them that he might manifest unto them that which was hidden from them of
their shame, and he said: Your Lord forbade you from this tree only lest ye
should become angels or become of the immortals.

Lesson
was-wasa – (put
whispers, seduced), it is past tense, origin of which is “waswasatun”, it means; that thing, which is whispered in the heart
silently, creating any wrong idea. Such thought, and that individual or thing,
which puts any imagination in the heart, is called waswaas.
yubdi-ya – (to
manifest), base of this word is ‘abdaaa’,
which has been derived from bad-wun. Bad-‘u means “to appear”. ‘abdaaa’ means “to disclose, to display”.
wuu-riya – (was hidden)
– past unknown, its origin is muwaaraah,
which is made from war-yun. War-yun means “to be hidden”. Muwaaraah means “to hide from one
another”.
saw-‘aata – (private
parts, hidden parts of shame of the human body), it is plural of saw-‘atun, which means “bad thing, the
shame, that part of the body of man or woman, which is incumbent to be hidden,
and opening of which is a shame”.
Dallaa – (seduced,
attracted, inclined), it is past tense, origin of which is dalyatun and it has been derived from dalwun, which means “A metal or leathern bucket used for drawing
water from a well”. Here it aims that “Satan inclined Adam (peace be upon Him)
toward his object”, seduced him.
When Iblis knew that Adam (peace be upon Him)
has been prohibited from a particular tree in the Garden, He comprehended that:
It is the way to harm Adam (peace be upon Him) that somehow they (Adam and Eve –
peace be upon Them) should be carried nigh that particular tree.
The Devil
planned and produced a doubt in their hearts saying that: Allah has not
forbidden this tree for you, but He has prevented you from its use due to any
conception, for instance; You will become Angels, if You ate it or You will
acquire living forever. It is an ancient trick of Satan that He removes the
value of God’s Command from the heart of mankind by any plot and says: This
order is not urgent, which has been commanded due to any thought. If you feel
that; breaking this order is useful for you, you can break it.
Then, this
tyrant Iblis swore falsely in front
of the both - Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) that: I am faithful to you and
say without telling a lie. Hearing these words, they both were deceived. They fell
into His scheming of misleading and accepted. The result was that their Light
clothing was disappeared. Those parts of their bodies appeared, seeing of which
by any other is worse.
