The Historical and Descriptive Semantics of "Eden" in the Quran Jafar nekoonam Mohammad moazami goodarzi Abstract The term "Eden" in the Quran is exoticism. Before the revelation of the Quran, the Arabs of ignorance are knowledgable with the usage of that term as the land which Adam's Garden had been in it and it has used in Torah and Talmud as well as Jewish and Christian teachings. That term has used in the Quran in new meaning i. e. Heavenly paradise. There is doubt about using that term as a verb or infinitive before the revelation of the Quran. There is no difference between Gardens of Eden and other terms in the Quran and it describes the Heavenly paradise like other terms.
