READ AND ANSWER WITH FREE AND SINCERE MIND .......
1) Evil can come from evil, evil can not come from Non-evil/good !!!!
yes or no:
if Yes: the Allah is Good , can he create evil?
if No: He is not the creator of every thing?
WRONG.
There is no such thing as evil. Its the lack of gudness that is referred to as evil, just as the absense of light is called darkness. There is no such thing as darkness. Light is energy and can be measured. You can't measure darkness.
Allah created man in His own image and as man drifts further from his basic nature he becomes evil.

2) Nabi/Rasool is massom and he can not commit mistake !!!!
yes or no:
if Yes: then why was Adam (AS) punished and asked to leave Jannaa?
if No: then nabi/rasool can make mistake and thus is/are not masoom?

Who said making a mistake is equal to not being masoom. Prophets are humans as well and as such can make mistakes in worldly affairs, but their message is pure and mistake free. AND one has to keep in mind there is a big difference between a mistake and a sin. A sin is an intentional act of rebellion against the orders of Allah and one's basic nature. Prophet Jonah(as) for example was told by Allah that his people would be punished so he left the city and after he left, the people repented enmass and were forgiven. Prophet Jonah(as) got disheartened by this and decided to leave for another country. It was a mistake on his part, but it doesn't mean he was not masoom as Allah Himself says he was a noble prophet.
Secondly, my understanding of adam and the punishment prescribed is not literal but metaphorical. I believe that the first human is also referred to as Adam and the first messanger is also referred to as Adam. There is a difference. First human refers to the first being in the cycle of evolution that could be referred to as human. The first messenger however refers to the first person capable of recieving the message of Allah.
I do not believe the janat referred to here is the real janat, but rather the janat of the pleasure of Allah. As many aoulya-e-karaam have said, once a person reaches an extraordionary degree of iman, he doesn't care for actual janat but is happy with the pleasure of Allah. Such a person doesn't do any gud deed to gain janat or avoid a bad deed due to a fear of punishment. In fact such a person does everything for the pleasure of Allah and is referred to as nafs-e-motma'inna in Qura'an. So Allah's displeasure is a source of great pain and suffering for such a person.
Neither is the fruit referred to here in itself bad. Its the fact that they did somthing which Allah had prohibited because shaitaan misled them.
And lastly, a person granted full pardon by Allah is like a newborn baby whose sins and mistakes are all washed away. Adam was forgiven and is referred to as a noble prophet of Allah as such he was masoom.
