averred: ? "And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. ” (Genesis 3: 7-8) 75 15 that The above words further lend strength to the fact that the whole affair is treated in allegoric form. God is the Creator of cold and of heat and stands in no need of these. He has not to go out in cool weather to save Himself from heat as some men move to Quetta and Murree during summer. The Bible, however, says seeing that the hour was cool and the sun had not yet risen, God took to strolling in the garden so that he may not be exposed to the inconvenience of warm weather. This is clearly an allegoric statement and couched in idiomatic language. Similarly, it is said: "And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. ” (Genesis 3:8-9) This again is an allegoric description, for, nothing is hidden from God, the Supreme. The Holy Quran confirms that there is naught in the heavens nor in the earth hidden from Allah, the Mighty whether on the surface or under the subsoil all are in His knowledge.
