Adam

From Muftipedia

Adam (Arabic آدم), also spelt Aadam, is the first prophet of Islam and mentioned in the Qur'an as the husband of Eve (Hawwa).

[edit] Adam in the Qur'an

Adam is mentioned in the Qur'an as the first man created by Allah. A verse in Sura al-Imran states:

The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was. (3:59)

Eve is not mentioned by name in the Qur'an, but is referred to as Adam's spouse. Islamic tradition refers to her as Hawwa, an etymologically similar name. Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari recounts the tale of her creation, stating that she was named because she was created from a living thing (since the Arabic word meaning "living" is "'hayy'").
