Did Iblis know about the descent of Adam and Eve from Paradise to Earth before Adam's sin?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is understood from the Holy Quran that Satan knew that Adam was created to live on earth, perhaps from the words of the angels or God Almighty informing them. The context of Satan's expulsion before God commanded Adam to reside in Paradise indicates his knowledge of Adam's descent to earth, as stated in the Almighty's saying: (He said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely beautify [the earth] for them and I will surely mislead them all.") The most important thing is the warning against Satan and taking him as an enemy, and guarding against his whispers.
