*The Beginning and the End*

*Episode 11*

*The Creation of Haw'waa' (Eve) Mother of Humanity*

After Allah created Adam (Alaihissalaam) He created his wife from one of his left ribs, so that he would be comforted by her, and that 

they could procreate. Allah (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) says:

O mankind! Be dutiful to your Rubb, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him [Adam] He created his wife (Haw'waa' [Eve]) and from them both He 

created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights) and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs [kinship]. Surely, Allah is Ever 

a Watcher over you. [4:1]

The Prophet () said: 

“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day let him not harm his neighbor. Treat your wives well, for indeed they have been created from a rib. Indeed the most bent part of a rib is its top part. If you try to straighten it, it will break, 

and if you leave it, it will remain bent, so treat your wives well.” [Bukhari]

*The Home of Adam and Eve*

They lived in Jannah before being expelled from it, due to the sin Adam (Alaihissalaam) committed. Allah (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) says: 

And (mention) when We said to the Angels, ‘Prostrate to Adam,’ and they prostrated, except Iblees, he refused. * So We said, ‘O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to 

your wife, then let him not remove you from Jannah so you would suffer. *

Indeed, it is (promised) for you not to 

be hungry therein or be unclothed. * And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun.’ * Then Satan whispered to him; he said, ‘O Adam, shall I direct you to 

the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?’ *

 And they [i.e., Adam and his wife] ate of it, 

and their private parts became apparent to them, and they begun to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Jannah. 

And Adam disobeyed his Rubb and erred. *

 Then his Rubb chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided (him). *

(Allah) said, ‘Descend from it [i.e., Jannah] – all, (your descendants) being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me – then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray (in the world) nor suffer (in the Hereafter). *

 And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a 

depressed [i.e., difficult] life, and We will gather [i.e., raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind.’ [20:116-24]
