be careful of (your duty to) your Sustainer...

be careful of (your duty to) your Sustainer, Who created you (all humans, men as well as women) from a single Self and created from it, its complimentary pair and spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you." (4:1) "He it is Who created you (o human beings) from a single self , and made from her, her complimentary pair, that she may find peace in her.." (7:189) Discarding the Biblical story where Eve is held responsible for Adam's temptation and expulsion from Heaven (See Genesis 2:3), the Qur'an states that both Adam (man) as well as his pair (woman) were equally tempted by Satan, both of them tasted of the forbidden fuit, both of them were equally admonished for their forgetfulness, and both repented and their repentance was accepted by their Sustainer.

This is stated in the following verses of Sura Al-Araaf: "And (We said): O Adam! Dwell you and your pair in the garden; so eat from where you desire, but do not go near this tree, for then you will be of the unjust.

But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to both of them that he might make manifest to them what had been hidden from them of their evil inclinations, and he said: Your Sustainer has not forbidden you this tree except that you may not both become two angels or that you may (not) become of the immortals. And he swore to them both: Most surely I am a sincere adviser to you.

Then he caused them to fall by deceit; so when they (both, Adam and his pair) tasted of the tree, their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves of the garden; and their Sustainer called out to them: Did I not forbid you both from that tree and say to you that the Shaitan is your open enemy? They said: Our Sustainer!

We have been unjust to ourselves, and if Thou forgive us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers." (7:19-23) Earlier in Sura Al-Baqara, it was also said that both man and woman, were tempted by Satan: "But Shaitan made them both fall from it, and caused them to depart from that (state) in which they were.." (2:36) Thus it is clear from the above that the Qur'an maintains that both men as well as women were created out of one source material called "Nafsin wahidatin", i.e 'A Single Self', and both man and woman were equally responsible for their expulsion from the Garden.
