Re: Why did Eve ate the apple?
Scholars differ regarding whether Satan was from the jinn or from the angels. Some scholars argue that he is from the angels, since Allah's command to the angels applied to Satan as well. They cite verse 34 of Sûrah al-Baqarah:
And when We said unto the angels: "Fall prostrate before Adam." They fell prostrate, all except Satan. He refused and was haughty. He was of those who reject faith.
However, the apparent meaning of what the Qur'ân says about Satan elsewhere indicates that he was is indeed from the jinn. The same story of Satan's refusal to bow down is given in the Qur'ân in other places where it is indicated that Satan is from the jinn, though he was in the assembly of the angels and was commanded to bow down to Adam along with them. Sûrah al-A`râf (7): verses 10-12 reads:
And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: "Fall prostrate before Adam!" And they fell prostrate, all save Satan, who was not of those who make prostration.
**(Allah) said: "What hindered you so that you did not prostrate when I commanded you?"
He said: "I am better than him: You had created me of fire, while him You created from clay." **
