Actually it is a simile, that it is man whose seed a woman carries in her womb. It is in this context that this simile is given for understanding. For those who really understand the Quran, this verse asks for better attitude towards women. you see, a farmer looks after his tilth, waters it, protects it against all climate conditions. In the same way man is supposed to take every care of woman, for he has been given more physical strength and has been made her protector and manager of her affairs.</span></p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">INDEED ALLAH KNOWS THE BEST!</span> <div><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><span style="font-weight: normal; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"></span></span><i><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></i></div>
