The Test Of This World Started Because Of Mistake By Adam (swS)?
Does the whole process of exam in Islam is based on the mistake that Adam had made…..if he had not done that then there would no sort of test for Human….if it is so then there is no silly thing like this

If you want to understand the story of Adam (as) literally, it won’t make sense to you. “Human beings” before Adam (as) didn’t have the cognitive abilities which separate us from other animals. The generation of Adam (as) underwent cognitive revolution, so they sort of emerged from a garden of innocence and bliss. As to what occurred, it seems when human beings gained the capacity to plan/think about the future ( tree of eternal life as referenced in Quran ) and when they began to use the tools of nature for their own benefits ( Adam covering his body with leaves ). This cognitive revolution brought them from being in a state of childlike bliss to the stage of tests, suffering, trials, animosity, competition, material advancement, knowledge growth,moral conscious and the ability to communicate in a language.

Moderators can guide you the best but what I have learned so far in this scenario from Ghamidi Sb is that the scheme of examination/test had already been planned by Allah when the creation of Adam took place.
So, this world is not the result of that mistake, this view is widespread in Christianity. Rather that event that took place in Eden (Ghamidi Sb doesn’t consider it the actual paradise (Jannat)but a garden present here on this Earth) was just a part of the process leading to the examination and not the actual reason why all of humanity was born.

As God knows what is going to happen in future so does it included in the scheme of Allah that Adam will make a mistake and then I will start process of exam…but it is mentioned in Qur’an that when Adam made a mistake and he felt ashamed of that then he toba and God forgave him but if God forgave him then why his punishment Did not end up

The Quran clearly tells that the scheme of test on the planet earth was already told by God after the creation of Adam before the episode of Satan started. Satan just made Adam expelled from the garden earlier than expected.

Quran is very clear as far as the scheme of God is concerned:
[Ask them O Prophet (sws) about their baseless denial of the Almighty] and [in order to make them understand Our scheme regarding this world, narrate to them the incident] when your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am going to create someone who will be given the sovereignty of the earth’. (Excerpt from Quran 2:30)

Therefore, it is not right to say that scheme of tests and trials was in any way dependent on mistakes made by Prophet Adam (sws).
In order to understand the entire concept of mistake by Adam (sws) in proper context, please watch the following lecture:
