 Sumerians, Babylonians, they believed in the concept of Adam, of Eve being part of Adam, being created from one of his rips, the left one. And therefore they say, if you count man's rips, he has a shortage. He does not have full rips, because one of them is taken away from him, and Eve was created with that extra or surplus rip that Adam had. It's a myth, of course, but this myth infiltrated Judaism, because during the Babylonian captivity, a Sebul Babeli, Babylonians attacked Jerusalem and they took captives, took them back with them to Babylonia, which is in Iraq. And during that period, this idea of Eve being part of Adam, being created from one of his rips, infiltrated their traditions. And from Judaism, it arrived into the Islamic tradition too, through what we call what is being dubbed as Israelis, al-Israiliyat. There is a huge subject called Israelis in the Islamic tradition, means that these set of stories and myths and legends that came into the Islamic tradition from the previous traditions through the converts. Those converts, some of them converted during the time of the Prophet, some of them converted after the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him, from Judaism and Christianity. But then, some people come and say, look at the Qur'an, read the Qur'an, the Qur'an repeats exactly what the Old Testament says, that Eve is created from Adam. Look at the Qur'an. Ya ayyuhan nasu taqwa rabbakum, O people, revere your Lord, al-ladi qalaqakum min nafsin wahidehu, created you from one soul, wa khalaqa minha zawjaha. And if from that soul it created its mate, its wife. So they say, see, this is what the book says. But when we come to the school of Ahlul Bayt and be with me here, follow me. When we come to our Imams, the school of Ahlul Bayt, the family of the Prophet, they say the meaning of wa khalaqa minha zawjaha and from it created not its mate. It means from it created its mate. It here, it here means from the same fabric, from the same substance, from the same species, not from a different species. Doesn't mean from Adam, it here does not mean from Adam because the Bible says it means Adam. But this book, the Qur'an, says no, it's not from Adam. It here is a reference to the species, to the fabric, to the material. God created man and women from the same exact same material, not one of them from humans. The other is a jinn or a spirit. He doesn't do that from the same species. This is the meaning. And therefore, we come to Ahlul Bayt. This is mella yahduruhul faqih, an important reference of the hadith of Ahlul Bayt. This is chapter number three, page number 270. One of the disciples of the sixth imam, imam al-sadaq. An-Nahu kaal su'ila abu abdullaah. Abu abdullaah means, an imam al-sadaq alaihi salam. When someone brought up the issue of the creation of Eve and said to him that some people claim that God created Eve from the lower rip of Adam. So, what do you say? Look at the answer of the imam. The imam said, subhan Allah, glory to to God. He glorified God. He sanctified God. It means no, this is not right. No, God would never do that. Does that mean that God did not have enough power to create Eve independently? He had to create Eve from Adam's rip? This is not right. This is imam al-sadaq. And then imam says, God created God created Eve from the same fabric, same material where he created Adam from. They are created from the same material, not from each other, from the same material. It's a big difference, my friends, if you examine it. Okay. And then let me conclude here, give me two more minutes. Again, the hadiths that we find in Bukhari, in Muslim, and also some Shi'i traditions, that Eve was created from a crooked, a bent, bending, curved rip, being bent, not straight. If you try, aqamtaha to straighten her, meaning to discipline her, to teach her, kassartaha, you will break her. Of course, we don't accept this. This will exacerbate the idea of women being subordinate to men. This will further marginalize them, alienate them. This will make them secondary, secondary citizens. As we can see, why women in Saudi Arabia are treated as secondary citizens? Why should Hillary Clinton, seven years, five years ago, she travels all the way from Washington to Riyadh to tell, to preach, to lecture to Saudi women and Saudi girls, to tell them, you have to ask for your rights. Why this happens? Why they don't listen to their book, to the Qur'an? The Qur'an said this 1400 years ago that men and women are equal. Women are not secondary. They are not second-class citizens. They are not subordinate to men. They are not. But then let me conclude with one more book, my friends, and this is Tafsir Al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Quran. This is Allama Muhammad Hussain al-Tabaa Taba'i, who died about 40 years ago. When he comes to this verse, from it created its mate, he means it here does not mean Adam. It means the same fabric because he says, because he has an evidence, it means the husband and the wife are from the same material, same fabric. God says we created from your own selves, own selves means the same fabric, same species, same material, not different. Inna Allaha khalaqa zawjat Adam min dhul'in min awla'iha min ma lada lila aleyhi fil aaya. He says there is no evidence that this verse in Surat al-Nisa verse number one in chapter four advocates that Eve was created from Adam or from his rib. He says there is no evidence whatsoever in that. This is the view of Ahlul Bayt.
