Adam's Wife (Eve)

زَوْجَة آدَم

Adam's wife, often known as Hawwa (Eve) in Islamic tradition, holds a profound place as the mother of all humanity. The Quran introduces her alongside Adam as they [dwelled in Paradise], enjoying its bounties with one crucial prohibition: not to approach a specific tree. Unfortunately, [Satan whispered to them], tempting them with promises of immortality and angelic status, even [swearing to them he was a sincere advisor]. Both Adam and his wife succumbed to this deception, leading to their descent from Paradise to Earth, as [Satan caused them to slip]. In the Islamic narrative, there is no concept of "original sin" where the woman bears the sole blame; rather, both were equally responsible for their actions and both sought Allah's forgiveness. Their story highlights themes of temptation, human vulnerability, divine mercy, and the importance of sincere repentance. She is a foundational figure, representing the beginning of family, community, and the human journey on Earth, carrying the shared legacy of humanity's origins.

Quran 12 verses

وَقُلْنَا يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Wa qulnaa yaaa Aadamus kun anta wa zawjukal jannata wa kulaa minhaa raghadan haisu shi'tumaa wa laa taqabaa haazihish shajarata fatakoonaa minaz zaalimeen

And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

اور ہم نے کہا کہ اے آدم تم اور تمہاری بیوی بہشت میں رہو اور جہاں سے چاہو بے روک ٹوک کھاؤ (پیو) لیکن اس درخت کے پاس نہ جانا نہیں تو ظالموں میں (داخل) ہو جاؤ گے

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: This is a continuation of the story of Adam (علیہ السلام) .

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English): Adam was honored again Allah honored Adam by commanding the angels to prostrate before him, so they all complied except for Iblis.

فَأَزَلَّهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ وَقُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

Fa azallahumash Shaitaanu 'anhaa fa akhrajahumaa mimmaa kaanaa fee wa qulnah bitoo ba'dukum liba'din 'aduwwunw wa lakum fil ardi mustaqarrunw wa mataa'un ilaa heen

But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."

پھر شیطان نے دونوں کو وہاں سے پھسلا دیا اور جس (عیش ونشاط) میں تھے، اس سے ان کو نکلوا دیا۔ تب ہم نے حکم دیا کہ (بہشت بریں سے) چلے جاؤ۔ تم ایک دوسرے کے دشمن ہو، اور تمہارے لیے زمین میں ایک وقت تک ٹھکانا اور معاش (مقرر کر دیا گیا) ہے

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: A question arises here as to how Satan got into Paradise for seducing Adam and Hawwa (علیہما السلام) when he had already been expelled from there for refusing to prostrate himself. There are many possible ways in which he can have played his trick. Possibly he never met them, but planted the suggest...

Wa yaaa Aadamus kun anta wa zawjukal Jannata fakulaa min haisu shi'tumaa wa laa taqrabaa haazihish shajarata fatakoonaa minza zaalimeen

And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

اور ہم نے آدم (سے کہا کہ) تم اور تمہاری بیوی بہشت میں رہو سہو اور جہاں سے چاہو (اور جو چاہو) نوش جان کرو مگر اس درخت کے پاس نہ جاؤ ورنہ گنہگار ہو جاؤ گے

But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal."

تو شیطان دونوں کو بہکانے لگا تاکہ ان کی ستر کی چیزیں جو ان سے پوشیدہ تھیں کھول دے اور کہنے لگا کہ تم کو تمہارے پروردگار نے اس درخت سے صرف اس لیے منع کیا ہے کہ کہ تم فرشتے نہ بن جاؤ یا ہمیشہ جیتے نہ رہو

So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"

O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.

اے نبی آدم (دیکھنا کہیں) شیطان تمہیں بہکا نہ دے جس طرح تمہارے ماں باپ کو (بہکا کر) بہشت سے نکلوا دیا اور ان سے ان کے کپڑے اتروا دیئے تاکہ ان کے ستر ان کو کھول کر دکھا دے۔ وہ اور اس کے بھائی تم کو ایسی جگہ سے دیکھتے رہے ہیں جہاں سے تم ان کو نہیں دیکھ سکتے ہم نے شیطانوں کو انہیں لوگوں کا رفیق کار بنایا ہے جو ایمان نہیں رکھتے

It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."

وہ خدا ہی تو ہے جس نے تم کو ایک شخص سے پیدا کیا اور اس سے اس کا جوڑا بنایا تاکہ اس سے راحت حاصل کرے۔ سو جب وہ اس کے پاس جاتا ہے تو اسے ہلکا سا حمل رہ جاتا ہے اور وہ اس کے ساتھ چلتی پھرتی ہے۔ پھر جب کچھ بوجھ معلوم کرتی یعنی بچہ پیٹ میں بڑا ہوتا ہے تو دونوں میاں بیوی اپنے پروردگار خدائے عزوجل سے التجا کرتے ہیں کہ اگر تو ہمیں صحیح وسالم (بچہ) دے گا تو ہم تیرے شکر گذار ہوں گے
