Other Misconceptions concerning Women

Another of the misconceptions concerning women concerns the
Prophet Adam (pbuh) and his wife. The Qur'an says nothing about
Adam's wife deceiving him and causing him to sin. We see from reading
verses 11 to 28 of Surat al-A'raf that it was satan who deceived Adam
and his wife.

In the same way, the Qur'an says nothing about woman being cre-
ated from a man's rib. The fabricated hadith that represents the origin

of this claim has been described in earlier sections.

Another misconception is that the Qur'an is addressed to men
alone. In fact, more than 90% of the Qur'an
addresses believers with expressions
such as "you who believe," which refer
to both men and women in general.
In the same way that there are some

verses addressed to men alone,
there are others that address only
women. Some other
verses of the Qur'an are

addressed directly and
only to our Prophet
(pbuh).
