For the roles, rights, and duties of women as laid out in the Qur'an, see Women in Islam. Eve (Hawwa)[edit] "So We said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the garden so that you should be unhappy; " The literal Qur'anic text in many ways removes the blame that is often placed upon Eve. Instead of being portrayed as the cause of Adam’s fall, Eve is merely presented as equally compliant in the sin and then later, equally compliant in the punishment and atonement.[3] However the early exegeses surrounding the creation and fall story was influenced heavily by the pervading Christian and Jewish notions of Eve.[4] Therefore, the early medieval exegesis focus on depicting Hawwa as morally and mentally compromised.
"Were it not for the calamity that afflicted Hawwa, the women of this world would not menstruate, would be wise, and would their children with ease" Surat Al-Baqarah [2:13] Surat Al-Baqarah [2:11] Surat Al-Baqarah [2:10] Surat Al-Baqarah [2:8] Surat Al-Baqarah [2:7] Surat Al-Baqarah [2:7] Surat Al-Baqarah [2:6]
