    In Islamic tradition, the first mother and father of mankind are Adam and Hawwa (Eve). According to the Quran and Hadith (Prophetic traditions), Allah (God) created Adam as the first human being and later created Hawwa as his partner from his rib. They are considered the progenitors of all human beings, and their story is often seen as an important part of the creation narrative in Islam.

However, there may be variations in the details of their story between different religious traditions and interpretations.

    Hazrat Adam and his wife Hazrat Hawa were seduced and deceived by Iblis and ate the fruit of this forbidden tree. And consider this work as a means of nearness to God
    This tree was a well-known and defined tree among the trees of Paradise, Hazrat Adam was also aware of it, so there is no benefit in trying to determine it
    If Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) forgot to eat the fruit of this tree
    And this is right, because it was mentioned in the Holy Quran that if you forgot to eat, then going to eat by forgetting is not a violation, but an error of ijtihad.

    There are many sayings about the tree that Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat, the famous one is that it was wheat, one is about grapes, and there are also other sayings about figs, camphor, etc. But this tree is not defined by the Holy Quran and its determination is not mentioned in any authentic hadith, so according to the commentators, the best explanation is that what the Quran and hadith have left ambiguous, there is no need to define it. Rather, Allah knows best which tree it was. Also, no action or success of ours is suspended on the determination of this tree, therefore we are not obliged to do this effort. The aspects that are useful for our advice and guidance in the stories of the Prophets, peace be upon them, have been described in the Holy Quran.
