Cain (Hebrew: קַיִן, Modern: Qáyin, Tiberian: Qáyin) is a figure in the biblical Book of Genesis, where he is introduced as the firstborn son of Adam and Eve. Cain's story is significant as it marks the first instance of murder in the Bible, as he kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. The name "Cain" is often interpreted to mean "acquisition" or "possession," reflecting the biblical narrative where Cain is portrayed as a farmer who tilts the soil, while his brother Abel is a shepherd. In Islamic tradition, Cain is known as Qābīl (Arabic: قَابِيل), and his story is similarly recounted in the Quran, though with some variations. The Cain and Abel narrative has been subject to extensive theological, literary, and artistic interpretation, serving as a foundational story in Western religious and cultural traditions.

Abel is a figure from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible and the Quran, the second son of Adam and Eve and the younger brother of Cain. The name Abel is derived from the Hebrew name Hebel (הֶבֶל), which means "breath," "vanity," or "vapor." In Arabic, he is known as Habil (حَابِل). In the biblical narrative, Abel is a shepherd who offers a sacrifice to God that is accepted, while his brother Cain, a farmer, offers a sacrifice that is not. Cain's jealousy leads him to murder Abel, making Abel the first victim of homicide in the biblical tradition. This story is significant in both Jewish and Christian theology, as it explores themes of jealousy, sacrifice, and divine favor. The story of Cain and Abel is also referenced in the Quran, where it serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of envy and violence.
