Abstract This article explores the intrepretation of term Syajarah in the Quran, The story of the forbidden tree, considered a potent symbol in Islam by some scholars, is prominently featured in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:35-39) and Surah Taha (20:120-122). Through a systematic literature review, this research highlights various interpretations of the term "syajarah" as it appears in the Quran, which, within the narrative of Prophet Adam and Eve, carries profound meanings and significance. Some scholars, such as Prof. Dr. KH. Abdul Syakur Yasin, MA (Buya Syakur), propose that "syajarah" is a metaphor, sparking debates on the literal and symbolic interpretations of the term. This study also discusses the importance of obedience to Allah's commands and the consequences of disobedience, illustrating human vulnerability to temptation. By examining the word "syajarah" across different contexts and surahs, this article reveals layers of meaning embedded in the language of the Quran, emphasizing the importance of semantic understanding in interpreting the sacred text.
