The Quran teaches that Adam and Eve committed shirk, the sin of associating partners with Allah.

The Quranic passage in Surah 7:189-192 suggests that Adam and Eve, after receiving a child from God, fell into idolatry by associating partners with Him. However, this claim is vague and does not specify how or with whom they committed this sin. The lack of clarity raises questions about the reliability of the Quran as a coherent text. Moreover, historical Islamic interpretations, such as those by Al-Tabari, do not provide a consistent understanding of this event, further complicating the narrative. In contrast, the Bible presents Adam and Eve as created in the image of God, with no mention of them committing shirk, thus providing a more consistent theological framework regarding the nature of sin and humanity's relationship with God.
