Homonym: Hawwa (Eve)
Hawwa, also known as Eve in many cultures, is a significant figure in various religious texts, including the Bible and the Quran. She is often regarded as the first woman created by God and is associated with the story of the Garden of Eden. In these narratives, Hawwa is created from Adam, the first man, and plays a crucial role in the story of humanity's origins.
In the Bible, Hawwa is known for her role in the temptation and fall of humanity, where she eats the forbidden fruit and shares it with Adam. This act leads to their expulsion from the garden. In Islamic tradition, while the story is similar, the emphasis is placed on both Adam and Hawwa's accountability for their actions.
