Lhammamy, that is an excellent point. Here we've been going on about the type of fruit, and you get to the heart of the matter. I really appreciate your comment.Lhammamy wrote: ↑27 Aug 2020, 14:17 Even in Qur'an the type of the fruit was not mentioned. However I don't think we will ever know because the aim of telling the story of Adam was not in the kind of fruit but in the results of the disobedience of God. Soo a fig or an apple it doesn't really matters.

One of the main reasons why apple is assumed to be the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was Milton. In Paradise lost he continued to refer to the forbidden fruit as malus. During his time, the meaning of malus was still equivocal. It could refer to either the apple or to any fleshy seed-bearing fruit. As a popularly accepted influential book, it was its later readers that started to associate 'malus' with 'Malus pumila' the scientific name for the common apple.
