وَيَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ
In all the holy scriptures Adam was forbidden to go near a tree and many people have tried to ascertain which tree it was.
Look at the picture. This is coronal view of your brain with second pic showing your nerves acting as roots penetrating into whole of the body. The action of the brain in world bring forth various fruits, results ,achievements and rewards.
So Adam initially was in free flowing state ,to go anywhere he likes. He had all the universe , he could see far and near, he could listen faint and loud. Truly free and nonlimited.
When he flew toward this tree (brain, nerves) and used it he got results,fruit. Since then children of Adam use there brain to get the fruit of there labour (like taking leaves of jannat and wrapping themselves with it)
فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ
Now you see why you get results/fruits when you use your brain.
Why it was forbidden? Because Allah knew people will do zulm (cruelty) to each other with brain activity and this is what we see today.
فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
Once Adam used it he was limited inside the body and his main task became to prostrate, subdue his intellect to Allah’s order. So Sajdah is done on forehead as this is the highest seat of intellect.
Now our task is to bring brain/intellect activity according to Islam and subdue it and bring forth good fruit, results for yourself and others.
فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
A good tree,having fruits is a -shajara tayyab. It leads you to heaven.
A bad tree which bears nothing or thorn is a – shajara khabaz. It leads to hell.
