 | | Adam's mate, Eve or Hava (חוה "Living", Standard Hebrew Ḥavva, Tiberian Hebrew Ḥawwāh, Latin Eva, Arabic حواء Ḥawwāʾ), was either created from his rib (Gen. 2.21-22), or created at the same time (Gen. 1.27) as Adam, depending on which part of Genesis is read and how it is interpreted. |
 | | Adam received her as his wife, and said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." He called her Eve, because she was the mother of all living. |
 | | While Adam is also regarded as the first human in Islam, he is also a prophet as well, in the sense that he was one of the people to whom God spoke. |
