Was the removal of Adam and Eve's clothing a punishment for them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The verses clarify that Allah Almighty sent down clothing upon the children of Adam to cover their nakedness and adorn them, and that the garment of piety is better for them. Allah warns the children of Adam against the temptation of Satan, likening it to what happened to their parents, Adam and Eve, when Satan expelled them from Paradise after stripping them of their garments, thereby revealing their nakedness as a punishment for their disobedience. The verses emphasize that the uncovering of nakedness was part of the divine punishment resulting from Satan's seduction.
