Women's Original Sin

What the Bible Says.. 

And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. (1 Timothy 2:14). 

What the Qur'an Says.. 

And he (Satan) swore by Allah to them both (Adam and Eve) (saying):" Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both." So he misled them with deception. (Qur'an, 7:21-22). 

Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray. Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance. (Qur'an, 20:121-122)

Commentary.. 

According to the Qur'an both Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan. The Qur'an blames both of them for their sin. However, Adam and Eve prayed earnestly to Allah for forgiveness and He forgave them. 

According to the Bible, Eve was the sinner and because of her sin all humans are born in sin.
