Al Jinan الجنان
Abstract
In the midst of discussions about the issue of women and debates about their equality with men, whether absolute or relative, this research aims to clarify that this issue should be examined based on its reality and actual circumstances. The first to argue against absolute equality between male and female was the grandmother of the prophet Issa (Jesus Christ), (mother of Mary, wife of Imran, peace be upon them). It was shown that the Quran supports this view by mentioning her statement without refuting it, thus confirming it. The verse that mentioned this was constructed in a remarkable manner, intended by Allah to encompass all that can be said about this issue legally and scientifically. The research also elucidates the interpretations of tafsir scholars regarding its aspects and content, before moving on to present the opinions of doctors and researchers regarding their scientific findings on the biological and psychological functional differences, in addition to the apparent differences in creation, appearance, and nature between the sexes. It ends with a conclusion and recommendations.
