The Holy Quran 7:27 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ كَمَآ أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتِهِمَآ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَىٰكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُۥ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Translation

O children of Aadam! Never let Shaytaan mislead (tempt) you as he (did when he) removed your parents (Aadam and Hawwa) from Jannah, tearing off (stripping) from them their clothing to expose to them their private parts. Surely he (Shaytaan) and his kind (the Jinn) see you in a way that you do not see them (because they are invisible to the human eye). Indeed We have made the Shayaateen friends of those who do not have Imaan (so these Shayaateen eventually control their lives. Man should always be on guard against Shaytaan's tricks at all times.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

the expulsion and the stripping have been attributed to [Shaytan] as their cause. That is, he was the cause of Adam and Hawwa being separated from Paradise and of their clothes being taken off; so now do not fall for his deception, and beware of his wiles.
