“Allah gave Prophet Adam the knowledge of the names of everything. This means that Prophet Adam knew these names without a teacher telling him. Adam first lived in Paradise living a very happy life. As we said last month, Allah created a wife for Prophet Adam from Adams rib. We know from one of our great Muslim scholars, Ibn ^Abbas, that this was the shortest rib from Adams left side. In Arabic we call the wife of Adam Hawwa, in English she is called Eve.”
