Adam's wives...the Torah and myths: Lilith, his first wife, fled with Satan, and Islam only knew Eve.
Eve is the first female human being, the wife of Adam, and the mother of humanity, the only wife of Adam. This is what Islam said about the mother of humankind, whom God created from Adam’s rib before Satan tempted them to eat from the forbidden tree and they descended to earth. But most of us know nothing about the legend of “Lilith.” .
“Lilith” is the demon of storms from Mesopotamia who accompanies the wind, and is believed to carry disease and death. The character of Lilith appeared for the first time as a demon or spirit associated with winds and storms. She was known as Lilith in Sumer, around 3000 BC, and she is also a well-known character in heritage books. Judaism, where legend says that she was the first wife of Adam before Eve, and the narratives differ when talking about Lilith, but the most famous Hebrew narratives say that “Lilith” is the basic woman that God created with Adam.
Myths taken from Hebrew and ancient cuneiform texts mention that Adam had a wife before Eve, “Lilith.” Hebrew myths state that Lilith did not accept his control, so she rebelled and fled from him to Earth, leaving behind hundreds of her children.
According to legend, God created Lilith from dust like Adam, and when she was his equal, she fled from him, so the Lord sent angels searching for her, and they found her in the Red Sea, and the Lord punished her by losing a hundred of her goblin children every day!! But she preferred this punishment to returning to Adam. However, Christian and Islamic belief reject this story, and Dr. Ali Gomaa, the former Mufti of the Republic, stated that the story of Adam’s marriage - peace be upon him - to Lilith before his mother Eve, has no basis in truth, noting that it is a Babylonian myth. -And the work of Assassins-, claiming that our master Adam, peace be upon him, had a wife before Eve, and Satan kidnapped her.
According to Hanna Abboud in his book “Modern Literary Theory and Mythological Criticism,” the Hebrews claimed that Lilith fled with Satan and left behind Adam, for whom God created Eve from his ribs, so she was of his nature. They claim that Lilith felt jealous of Eve, so she came to her in the form of a beautiful satanic serpent, and pushed her to He committed sin, so torment, pain, and death were written on humanity, which would have been born innocent of these tragedies.
In this way, the Jews got rid of Lilith, and did not claim that she had given birth to Adam, after she was created to be the first, most worthy, and most efficient candidate to occupy the position of “Mother of Mankind.”
According to a study entitled “Lilith, Adam’s First Wife” published on the Syrian Researchers website, there was a reference to Lilith in the Old Testament, and the book “Zohar Ben Sira” of the Hebrew heritage spoke about her story and that after she abandoned Adam and descended to earth, three angels were sent to bring her back or kill her, but she She refused to return, so she was sentenced to become barren and have a hundred of her children killed every night. So she decided to take revenge on the children of Adam and Eve by killing their children. Therefore, in ancient times, pregnant and breastfeeding women used to wear some amulets bearing the names of the three angels to protect them from their evil.
