Some people beleive that the reason why mankind does not dwell in Paradise is because Adam was disobedient and that if it had not been for his sin, we could have been there all along, in Paradise. These are naive fictions because when Allah wanted to create Adam he said to the angels,"I shall make a vicegerent on the earth." He did not say,"I shall make a vicegerent in Paradise." Adam's descent on earth, then, was not due to degredation but rather it was a dignified descent. Allah knew that Adam and Eve would eat from the tree and descend to earth. He knew Satan would rape their innocence. That experience was essential for the their life on earth, it was the cornerstone of their vicegerency. It was meant to teach Adam, Eve, and their progeny that it was Satan who had caused them to be expelled from Paradise and that the road to Paradise can only be reached through obedience to Allah and enmity to Satan. ---From the story of the Prophet Adam(pbuh)---
