Various methods of Qur’anic exegesis significantly influence understanding of the creation of women and their right of leadership. Failure to disclose the ideal impression of the Qur’anic verses is majorly caused by separation of its texts and contexts. A historical awareness and external reality today are two in each other's pocket variables. Another factor is hadith (riwayat) from an ahlul kitab who converted to be a Muslim and recounts that Hawa was created from Adam’s left bent rib bone.
