All the monotheistic religions tell the story of a tempter inducing the 
first humans to be disobedient. The Torah and Bible show a serpent in this role and the Qur’an presents a jinn named Iblis as the one who first approached Eve and made her aware that there was something she didn’t have. The serpent suggested that Eve wasn’t as good as the gods. Immediately after she took that idea in (bit the apple) her contentment disappeared, her peace of mind fled. The serpent planted the idea with Eve that she was somehow inadequate. “But I’ve got something for you that will fix it,” the serpent promised.
