When I read the story of creation, I discovered that the creation of man was like the climax of God's acts of creation, after which God rested. And woman was only created when God discovered that Adam needed a companion. That made me to ask whether the creation of woman was really in the original masterplan of God or an after-thought. What do you think?

@Poster,
Why would anyone choose pure headache to be in their master-plan? They were more like a necessary evil. God had to give Adam a companion he craved for and He got more than that!

God is the one that knows the end even be4 the beginning.
So he knows and knew what he doing and will always know.
So better for us to worry about our own lives

Blasphemy

yes it was.

from the Bible there may be the murkiness, but not in the Quran, since you will read that in verse 36 of Baqarah that Kalifah of earth is about to be created. there had been kalifah (jinn) before, the reason the Angels were alarmed and wonder if the new kalifah will be bloodletting like the former (the jinn nation). note that the jinn was not just one entity in the nation, but jinns, males and females, having children then.

and from the same Baqarah, few verses later, we see that Hawa (Eve) was described as mate to Adam, both under the same commandments, etc, and it is very clear that God has deemed a similar but different creation, a kalifah but man, with male and female, respectively in the case of man instead of jinn nation.
