The Chapter of Eve The Qur'an speaks of Adam and his wife in
several Suras. On each occasion, the story is a rounded
narrative featuring a particular emphasis that differentiates
one version from the other. The Qur'an does not mention Adam's
wife by the name, nor does it state how she was created. Of the
5 Qur'anic accounts pertaining to Adam, the woman appears in
three instances. In all these three, the focus of the narrative
is with the disobedience of humans toward God, as well as the
Forbidden Tree which is a central feature of the story. By
contrast, the remaining two do not state the female focus on
Iblis (Satan) as well as Iblis' disobedience and rebellion.
