Are Women Deficient in Intellect and Religion?
1. With regard to a woman’s lack of reason, it is because women are easily swayed by emotions, which make them unable to deal appropriately with new issues that arise. 2. As for a woman’s lack of religious commitment, it is because women do not pray and fast during the days of their menses and when they are bleeding following childbirth. 3. Prophet Muhammad spoke about creating women from a rib to urge men to show kindness to women and to be patient in putting up with any annoyance that may come from them; they should not criticise women, rebuke them or belittle them. 4. Islam respects and honours women and treats them fairly and gives them their rights. Islam honours the woman as a mother, as a daughter, as a sister and as a wife.
