“Free-will” and “Knowledge of good and evil”

One’s point is reasonable. Knowledge of good and evil and then to decide for the right on one’s own free-will is a sign of maturity and is praiseworthy.

Genesis 2:17 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Since god did not want to eat from the tree and thus have knowledge of good and evil. Without knowing good and evil how could one have free will?” One’s point is reasonable. Knowledge of good and evil and then to decide for the right on one’s own free-will is a sign of maturity and is praiseworthy. The narrators/scribes/translators/clergy seem to understand the phenomenon incorrectly. Moses was given both the Law and the Discrimination by YHVH, please: [2:53] Then We forgave you thereafter, that you might be grateful. [2:54] And remember the time when We gave Moses the Book and the Discrimination*, that you might be rightly guided. [2:55] And remember the time when Moses said to his people: ‘O my people, you have indeed wronged yourselves by taking the calf for worship; turn you therefore to your Maker, and kill your evil desires; that is the best for you with your Maker.’ Then He turned towards you with compassion. Surely, He is Oft-Returning with compassion, and is Merciful. [2:56] And remember when you said: ‘O Moses, we will by no means believe thee until we see Allah face to face;’ then the thunderbolt overtook you, while you gazed. https://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/showChapter.php?ch=2&verse=53 * knowledge of good and evil to exercise free-will.
