The Location of Adam and Eve's Paradise The location of this Paradise  is unknown to us. The Quran did not reveal it, and the commentators had five different opinions. Some said that it was the Paradise of our refuge and that its place was heaven. Others regretted that statement because if it was the Paradise of refuge Iblis would have been forbidden admission and disobedience would have been forbidden as well. Still, others said that it was another paradise that was created by ALLAH for Adam and Hawwa.  A fourth group said it was the Paradise on the Earth located in a high place.  Another group of commentators accepts that was in the Quran without questioning where this  Paradise was located. We agree with this last opinion as the lesson we learn from its location is immaterial compared to the lesson we learn from the events that took place there.

 Establishing the Islamic Greeting  Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet  Muhammad (PBUH) said: O Muslims! I advise you to be gentle with women, for they are created from a rib and the most crooked portion of the rib is its upper part. If you try to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the women. (Sahih Bukhari). Allah commanded Adam to dwell in Paradise: O Adam! dwell you and your wife in Paradise and eat both of you freely with pleasure and delight of things therein as wherever you will, but come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zalimeen  (wrong-doers).   (Ch 2:35 Qur'an) To Be Continued....................................
