Qābīl and Hābīl (Arabic: قـابـيـل وَهـابـيـل‎, Cain and Abel) are believed by Muslims to have been the first two sons of Adam (Arabic: آدم‎) and Hawwa’ (Arabic: حـواء‎, Eve) mentioned in the Qur’an.

This was the first ever sin committed upon Earth but Abel was chronicled in history as one of the first believers and as the first ever martyr. Although Islam does not traditionally view Abel as a prophet, some scholars speak of him as a prophet like his father. In the Qur’an. Of Adam’s first children, Cain was the elder son and Abel the younger.
