Women and men 'NEED EACH OTHER'


by Syed Abu Hassan Ali Nadawi



 
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا 4:1   
         
O men! Fear your Lord Who created you from a single being and out of it created its mate; and out of the two spread many men and women. *1 Fear Allah in Whose name you plead for rights, and heed the ties of kinship. Surely, Allah is ever watchful over you.  (Surah An-Nissa ': 1)
 
         
This verse clearly explains the Islamic view about status of the women, the rights and obligation of men and women. First, God explains that free men and women made the same way and
they have a similar physical form, as if they derived from a single body. Abnormalities in the body built their bodies cause they go through life with the opportunity.
         
Both men and women were created from one soul and the soul divide to two portion,
