Reverence for Women
Womens Respect is one of the Indicators and
Significant Results of the Religious Government.
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H), in the sermon 105, pp. 9-11,
mentions the great blessings of religious
government, and praises women as one of the
important indicators of the religious government:
due to the dignity of God and authority you
found that (even) the handmaid, you were
honored. In this regard, the religious authorities
of Allah (P.B.U.H) regard the respect for the
women as an example for the growth of the
society, because before the time of Islam, the
disbelievers did not respect to the women and by
appearance of Islam women found their real
position.
Also, Imam Ali (P.B.U.H) has considered women
and men of the same culturally different capital,
each of which has manifested itself differently
in men and women, although men and women
are common in some traits, but in some other
traits they are different.
