Who ate the apple in Jannah?

Published in Religious Studies 1 min read

The question of who ate the apple (or forbidden fruit) in Jannah (Paradise or Garden of Eden) depends on the religious perspective.

  • In Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Judaism): It was Eve who first ate the forbidden fruit, and then she gave it to Adam. While the specific type of fruit isn't named in the Hebrew Bible, it's often depicted as an apple in Western art and tradition.

  • In Islam: While the Quran doesn't specify the type of fruit, it states that both Adam and his wife (Hawa in Islamic tradition) ate from the forbidden tree. The specific names are not mentioned, although Adam is an Islamic prophet. It is important to note that the Quran doesn't assign blame primarily to Eve (Hawa) unlike the Christian and Jewish traditions.

Therefore, the answer depends on which religious tradition you are referencing.

  • Christianity/Judaism: Eve ate the apple first, then gave it to Adam.
  • Islam: Adam and his wife (Hawa) ate from the forbidden tree together.
