The social role of women compared with men from the perspective of Quran and hadith

Abstract

In the Qur'an, men and women are equal in terms of human dignity and spiritual interest and faith; but God did not speak to women immediately and directly; especially in law verses, God speaks to men directly but He speaks to women as a third person (hidden person). In this paper, this problem has been analyzed in view of divine-social tasks in the Quran and it became clear that God has given hidden roles to women when He divides social roles. God has given this role as a gift to some of his favored servants presented in Quran. Sometimes hidden role is more important and effective than famous role. Usage of third person pronouns stresses the hidden role of women in society. Also this paper explains about inner and divine truth of hidden role of women and its effect on perfection of women.
