🌿 The Forbidden Tree — The First Lesson of the Soul 🌿

“O Adam! Dwell, you and your wife, in the Garden, and eat freely from wherever you wish — but do not approach this tree, or you will be among the wrongdoers.”
(Qur’an, 7:19)

This divine command wasn’t merely about a tree — it was about the roots of every human trial: envy, greed, and pride. 🌱

📜 Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said:

“God forbade Adam and Eve from desiring the rank of Muhammad (PBUH) and his Family. He warned them not to look upon those chosen by God with envy, nor to covet their station — for whoever claims their place unjustly becomes one of the wrongdoers.”
(Tafsir Ahl al-Bayt, vol. 5, p. 58)

📜 Imam al-Hadi (AS) said:

“The tree forbidden to Adam was the tree of envy. God warned them not to look with jealousy at those whom He had favored above all creation.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 10, p. 388)

📜 Imam al-Sajjad (AS) said:

“After knowing God and His Messenger, the greatest act is detachment from this world. For the first sins were pride, greed, and envy — all born from love of the world. Love of this world is the root of every sin.”
(Al-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 130)

🌸 Thus, the forbidden tree still grows in every heart — its fruit is desire, its shade is jealousy, and its root is the love of this fleeting world.
Only those who purify their hearts from envy will dwell again in the eternal Garden. 🍃
