Simply Eve

The Qur'an
Surat Al-A'raf 7:10-18 (Sahih International)

7:10   And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood.  Little are you grateful.
7:11  And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form.  Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees.  He was not of those who prostrated.
7:12  [Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?"  [Satan] said, "I am better than him.  You created me from fire and created him from clay."
7:13  [Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein.  So get out; indeed, you are of the debased.
7:14  [Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
7:15  [Allah] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."
7:16  [Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path.
7:17  Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."
7:18  [Allah] said, "Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled.  Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."
