Did God forgive Adam and Eve?

Question

I learned from the Quran that our first parents, Adam and Eve, were living in Paradise until they committed sin/wrong. Quran says that they were forgiven of their sins/wrongdoing. If they were forgiven of their sin/wrong, then why did God being so merciful and gracious make them leave the garden? Does it mean He did not forgive them?"

Answer 1

There were four sequential steps in Adam's story:

• Order/Command

[ 2:35 ] And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

• Sin

[ 2:36 ] But Satan caused them to slip out of it ...

Qortoby Tafseer states that this slip is considered a sin (Arabic reference: here). That sin caused them to be punished.

• Punish

[2:36] and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."

• Repentance, Acceptance and Mercy

[ 2:37 ] Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.

Answer 2

before God blew his breath into hazarat Adam a.s he told the angels this creation of mine shall be my emissary khalifa on earth and I shall place generation after generation of them on earth.so no hazarat adam a.s was not sent to earth as a punishment it was meant for him to be there before he was even given life.
You should know this if you have read Quran and if you have then you obviously did not pay attention to what you were reading no disrespect to you my friend but study your Islam before making any of your own judgments.
Quran has all the answers you are looking for, all you have to do is read it from the beginning to the end not just bits and pieces.
If you have any other queries just post them and I will try to give you an answer to the best of my knowledge. The answer I have given you is from Quran.

Answer 3

Since they come to earth, we have chance to show our good deeds. Since heaven is not the place of examination whether a person is good or bad, we, human beings, didn't have chance to show our work. Therefore, by making Adam and Eve(radiallahu anhum) leave heaven, Allah didn't become unmerciful, in a way, he become merciful to his believer creatures. Even we can say Allah was merciful to Adam and Eve in that event. Prophet Adam and Eve did their best in the life and he is named as Safiyyullah(one of the cleanest creature of Allah)
