Once Adam is thrown out of heaven, all he will have is affliction: hard labour, going astray, worry, indecision, endless waiting, agony, deprivation, etc. As long as he is in Paradise, he is immune to all affliction: “It is guaranteed that you shall not hunger here or feel naked, and you shall not thirst here or suffer from the blazing sun.” (Verses 118-119) All that man needs is available in plenty in Paradise, which means that man should ensure he stays there. We note here how hunger and nakedness are shown to be parallel to thirst and intense heat. These four represent man’s initial concerns as he tries to find food, clothing, drink and shade.
