Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Perhaps they will be better than them)

Allah the Exalted said: (Perhaps they will be better than them, and as for women, perhaps they will be better than them [al-Hujurat: 11]) He specified women and men in detail so that no one would say: this is specific to men if only men were mentioned, or specific to women if only women were mentioned. By this, we know the difference between *al-qawm* (the people) and women. When *al-qawm* and women are mentioned together, *al-qawm* refers to the men and women refers to the females. However, if *al-qawm* is mentioned alone, it includes both men and women, just as it is mentioned regarding the messengers (peace be upon them) that they were sent to their *qawm* (people), which includes males and females. But when *al-qawm* and women are mentioned together, women refers to the females and *al-qawm* refers to the males.

nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames

وَلا نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْراً مِنْهُنَّ وَلا تَلْمِزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ

[al-Hujurat: 11].
