When Adam and Eve were sent to the world, were they sent with their body in heaven? Is it not necessary that the body suitable for Paradise should be different from the body suitable for this world?

Dear Brother / Sister,
Adam and Eve’s bodies in the world and in heaven were the same because in both places, they were human beings and human body is certain.
"We said: "O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden and eat of the bountiful things therein as (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression." (al-Baqara, 2/35)
"When they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies." (al-Araf, 7/22)
It is possible to understand this fact from the meaning of the verses. For, eating and wearing pertain to this body. And humans will go to heaven with their bodies and souls. A number of verses in the Quran refer to this. However, there is no need to go to the toilet in heaven. Trees in the world are examples of this state. Allah has power over everything.
