Islam Honors The Woman
11B
The world al-mra’tu(i.e.woman)in Arabic refers to the female version of the male;
Its pronounciation is :imra’tu or marah that does not have plural word for it (in
Arabic );instead the word nisa’ or niswa is used . She is the creation that Allaah ,the
Mighty and sublime,brought into existence as apartner for man throughout his l
Life.she was created originally from man in order to be a more profound in
symmetry and more binding in their bond and nearness to one another ;in addition,
to attain sincere affection and mercy between each other in the most splendid
garment and most beautiful appearance.Allaah,the Exalted says ,
“O mankind ;Be dutiful to your Lord,Who created you from a single person
(Adam),and from him (Adam)He created his wife [Hawwa(Eve)],and from them
Both He created many men and women and fear Allaah through Whom you demand
Your mutual (rights),and (do not cut the relations of )the wombs(kinship).surely,
Allaah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.’’[Soorah an-Nisaa 4:1]
