IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[20:121]
And so the two ate [of the fruit] thereof: and thereupon they became conscious of their nakedness and began to cover themselves with pieced-together leaves from the garden. And [thus] did Adam disobey his Sustainer, and thus did he fall into grievous error.

* v.121 : Regarding the symbolism of Adam and Eve’s becoming “conscious of their nakedness,” see note 105 above as well as the reference, in 7:26-27, to “the garment of God-consciousness,” the loss of which made man’s ancestors “aware of their nakedness,” i.e., of their utter helplessness and, hence, their dependence on God.
