Adam Expelled from Eden: Was It Really Because of Eve's Temptation?

The story of the expulsion of Prophet Adam and his wife, Eve, from paradise has given rise to the view that Eve was at fault for tempting Adam. Is this opinion correct?

In his book ‘Buya Hamka Berbicara tentang Perempuan’ (Buya Hamka Talks About Women), Prof. Buya Hamka explains that within the three religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, there is a common teaching regarding the origin of human ancestors, namely Adam and Eve. They were given a dwelling by God in the Garden of Eden.

They were then deceived by Satan, resulting in their expulsion from paradise. They were commanded to descend to the world to live on earth for generations until death.

In the Book of Genesis (Old Testament) Chapter III, it is explained that the devil who deceived Adam and Eve took residence in the mouth of a serpent, and it is said that the serpent is the most cunning and deceitful animal. It is also stated that the one who was deceived first was the wife, Eve, because women are a type of human who are weak and easily deceived.

‘And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.’ (Genesis 3:6)
