Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ahzab 33:35] to the end of it.
First: The Noble Qur'an, in most of what it discusses regarding specific rulings and practical rulings, addresses men more than women. This is because men are more noble than women, and because men are the maintainers of women, so if the men are righteous, the women will be righteous. Also, when two genders are gathered, the more noble and higher of them prevails. For these three reasons and others, most of the addresses in the Qur'an are directed to men. However, in some verses, the rulings are mentioned for both men and women, either in detail, O Tawfiq, or in summary. An example of the first is[Al-Ahzab 33:35] to the end of it. An example of the second is His saying, the Exalted: [Al Imran: 195]. So in this there is a summary: [Ali 'Imran 3:195].
In these verses, the exegetes mentioned that among the reasons for their revelation is that Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, “O Messenger of Allah,“Indeed, Allah the Exalted only speaks about men and does not mention women.”So Allah the Exalted revealed these verses[Al-Ahzab 33:35] to the end of it. And His saying, the Exalted is He,[Al-Ahzab 33:35] this is the emphatic particle that puts the subject in the accusative case and raises the predicate.
Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women, the obedient men and obedient women, the truthful men and truthful women
