Was Hawa’ (Eve) Created from the Rib of Adam? - Answers. Answered by Ustadh Faraz A.
Khan Question: On the creation of Adam and Eve, where in the Qur’an or hadith is it stated that she was created from Adam’s rib? Answer: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, I pray this reaches you in the best of health and faith. The Qur’an does not mention anything explicit with regards to our mother Hawa’ (Eve) being created from the rib of our father Adam (peace be upon them both). According to Imam Razi, this is a sounder interpretation than the oft-cited “from the rib of Adam” opinion.
This interpretation is also proven by the next phrase in the verse “so that you may dwell in tranquility with them.” The same two possible interpretations would apply to similar verses, such as “O humanity, fear your Lord Who created you from one soul, and created from it its mate…” [4:1].

Many fans have asked where I have been for the past few months.
I have been a regular blogger for the Huffington Post since 2009, often commenting on issues relating to Islam and the media, which as a Muslim in Hollywood is perhaps appropriate. But I have not written a post either here or on my own personal blog since late last year. Partly, I have been focused on balancing my career as a filmmaker and novelist with the needs of my family. But partly I have been just plain exhausted. As someone who loves Islam, I have often felt drained spiritually and emotionally by the never-ending battle to overcome the false image of my faith. I loved that myth -- and sometimes I feel I am living it today. So I took a break.
Perhaps I would have stayed in this stupor of defeat forever. As my readers may remember, my father passed away last year. My parents had a beautiful home in Phoenix, Arizona. The cycle of life is fascinating, and poignant. But my mother is anything but weak. Women such as Dr. Rabia al-Adawiyya. Rābiʻa al-ʻAdawiyya al-Qaysiyya (Arabic: رابعة العدوية القيسية) or simply Rābiʿah al-Baṣrī (Arabic: رابعة البصري) (717–801 C.E.) was a female Muslim saint and Sufi mystic[1] .
Life[edit] She was born between 713 and 717 AD (100 and 108 Hijri) in Basra, Iraq. Much of her early life is narrated by Farid ud-Din Attar, a later Sufi Saint and poet, who used earlier sources. Rabia herself did not leave any written works. She was the fourth daughter of her family and therefore named Rabia, meaning "fourth". According to Farid ud-Din Attar, Rabia's parents were so poor that there was no oil in house to light a lamp, nor a cloth even to wrap her with.
In the night Muhammad appeared to him in a dream and told him, "Your newly born daughter is a favorite of the Lord, and shall lead many Muslims to the right path. Rabia's father got up and went straight to the Amir with tears of joy rolling down his cheeks. She would pass the whole night in prayer, after she had finished her household jobs.
