2. Is Eve Evil?
Eve is generally considered to be the one who was mislead
by Satan.
So all the blame falls on her for getting Adam (as) to eat
the forbidden fruit and to get mankind out of heaven
It is also considered that because of this original sin,
women have to bear the pains of childbirth as a punishment
3. Is Eve Evil?
In the following presentation, we will see the basis of these
allegations
We will see the Christian view point and the Islamic view
point from their original books Bible & Quran
5. Satan misleads Eve
3.1:Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had
made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of
the garden?
3:2:And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
garden:
3:3:But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
3:4:And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
3:5:For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
3:6:And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant
to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and
did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
King James Version, Book of Genesis
6. According to Bible
3:11:And He (God)said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten
of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
3:12:And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
3:13:And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat
King James Version, Book of Genesis
7. Eve’s sorrow
3:16:Unto the woman he (God) said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall
rule over thee.
3:17:And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:
cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of
it all the days of thy life;
9. Satan misleads both Adam & Eve
Then Satan whispered to them, disclosing to them their
private parts that had been concealed from them. He said,
'Your Lord has only forbidden you this tree lest you become
angels or among those who live for ever.' He swore to them, 'I
am one of those who give you good advice.' So he enticed
them to do it by means of trickery. Then when they tasted the
tree, their private parts were disclosed to them and they
started stitching together the leaves of the Garden in order to
cover themselves. Their Lord called out to them, 'Did I not
forbid you this tree and say to you, "Satan is an outright
enemy to you"?' (Surat al-A'raf, 20-22)
10. Satan misleads both
But Satan whispered to him, saying, 'Adam,
shall I show you the way to the Tree of
Everlasting Life and to a kingdom which will
never fade away?' So the two of them ate
from it and their private parts were disclosed
to them and they started stitching together
the leaves of the Garden to cover themselves.
Adam disobeyed his Lord and became misled.
(Surah Ta Ha, 120-121)
11. Allah forgives
Then Adam received from his Lord Words.
And his Lord pardoned him. Verily, He is one
who forgives, the Most Merciful.
We Said:" Get down all of you from this place
(the paradise), then whenever there comes to
you Guidance from Me, and whoever follows
My Guidance, there shall be no fear on them,
nor shall they grieve.
(Surah Baqarah 37,38)
13. Who is to blame?
The verses from the Bible and Quran make it very
clear that it is ONLY the Christian account that puts
the entire blame on Eve and also shows the low
status of women in Christianity by the punishment of
conception and labor
Islam uplifts the status of women. Both Adam and
Eve were mislead by Satan, who is the real culprit
and Allah forgives them before they are sent to
Earth. There is NO original sin in Islam.
