“Enyi watu! Hakika Sisi tumekuumbeni kutokana na mwanamume na mwanamke, na tukakufanyeni kuwa mataifa na makabila, ili mjuane.” [Al-Hujurat: 13] Yeye (SWT) anasema:

“Oh mankind! We have created you from a male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know each other.” [Al- Hujurat: 13] He (swt) says:

"Enyi wanadamu! Ni nini kilichokudanganya kumwacha Mola wenu Mlezi, Mwingi wa ukarimu?" [Al-Infitar: 6] Yeye (SWT) anasema:

“Oh mankind! What has misled you from your Lord, most Generous?”. [Al- Infitar: 6] He (swt) says:

"Ole la wanadamu! Ni kitu gani kilichomfanya amkatae Mungu? Amemuumba kwa kitu gani? Amemuumba kutokana na tone la damu iliyoganda..." [Abasa: 17 - 19] Hivyo, Allah (swt) amewaelekezea wanadamu majukumu, na amewafanya wanadamu - si wanaume wala wanawake - kuwa mada ya hotuba hiyo na ya majukumu hayo. Ameiteremsha sheria (Shari'a) kwa wanadamu, Yeye (swt) atawafufua wanadamu, atawahesabu na kumwingiza kila mmoja wao Peponi au Motoni. Kwa hiyo, Yeye (swt) amewafanya wanadamu - si wanaume wala wanawake - kuwa mada ya majukumu hayo.

“Woe to mankind! What has made Him reject God? From what thing did He create Him? From a clot He Created Him...” [Abasa: 17 - 19] Thus, Allah (swt) has addressed mankind with obligations and He (swt) has made Mankind the subject of that speech and those obligations. He (swt) has revealed the laws (Shar’a) to mankind and He (swt) will resurrect mankind, account him/her and admit Him/her to Paradise or Hell. Therefore, He (swt) has made mankind - not men or women - the subject of the obligations.

Allah (swt) amemuumba wanadamu, wanaume kwa wanawake, wakiwa na asili maalum inayotofautiana na ile ya wanyama. Mwanamke ni binadamu, kama alivyo mwanaume, na hawatofautiani katika ubinadamu wao. Wala mmoja wao hatofautishwi na mwenzake katika kipengele chochote cha ubinadamu huo. Allah (swt) amewaandaa wote wawili, kama binadamu, kuingia katika njia za maisha, na bila shaka amewafanya waishi katika jamii moja. Pia ameufanya uendelevu wa jamii ya binadamu kutegemea kukutana kwao na kuwepo kwao pamoja katika kila jamii. Hairuhusiwi kumtazama mmoja wao isipokuwa kwa namna ambavyo mwenzake anatazamwa, kwa sababu, kama binadamu, wote wanamiliki sifa zote za kibinadamu na mahitaji muhimu ya maisha. Allah (swt) ameumba ndani ya kila mmoja wao nguvu muhimu ya uhai (Taqa Hayawiya), na ni nguvu hiyo hiyo ya uhai aliyomuumbia mwenzake. Hivyo, amewaweka ndani ya kila mmoja wao mahitaji ya kiumbile kama njaa, kiu na haja ya kujisaidia, na amewaweka ndani ya kila mmoja silika ya kujikinga na kuendelea kuwepo (Gharizat al-Baq'a), silika ya uzazi (Gharizat al-Nau') na silika ya kutakasika kidini (Gharizat al-Tadayyun). Hizo ni mahitaji na silika hizo hizo za kiumbile zilizopo kwa mwenzake. Pia amewapa wote wawili uwezo wa kufikiri, na ni uwezo huo huo wa kufikiri ulio kwa mwenzake. Hivyo, akili ipo kwa mwanaume na ni akili hiyo hiyo iliyopo kwa mwanamke, kwa kuwa Allah amemuumbia mwanadamu akili, wala si kwa mwanaume au mwanamke peke yake.

Allah (swt) has created mankind, whether male or female, with a specific nature which is distinct from that of animals. The woman is a human, as is the man, and they do not differ from each other in terms of their humanity. Nor is one distinguished from the other in any aspect of that humanity. Allah (swt) has prepared both of them, in their capacity as humans, to enter the walks of life and inevitably made them live in the same society. He also made the survival of the human race dependent on their meeting together and their mutual presence in every society. It is not permitted to view one of them except as the other is viewed because, as humans, they possess all human characteristics and the essential requirements of life. Allah (swt) has created within each of them a vital energy (Taqa Hayawiya), and it is the same vital energy which He (swt) has created for the other. So He (swt) made in each of them organic needs such as hunger, thirst and the need to relieve nature and He (swt) made in each of them a survival instinct (Gharizat al-Baq'a) and a procreation instinct (Gharizat al-Nau') and a sanctification (Gharizat al- Tadayyun) instinct. They are the same organic needs and instincts that are present in each other. He (swt) has granted both of them the faculty of thought, and it is the same faculty of thought that is present in the other. Thus, intelligence is present in a man and it is the same intelligence that is present in a woman, since Allah created an intellect for mankind and not exclusively for a man or a woman.

“Enyi watu! Mcheni Mola wenu, ambaye amekuumbeni kutokana na nafsi moja, na kutokana nayo akamuumba mke wake, na kutokana na wawili hao akaeneza wanaume wengi na wanawake.” [An-Nisa: 1] Anasema (SWT):

“Oh mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from Him created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women”. [An- Nisa: 1] He (swt) says:

“Yeye ndiye aliyekuumbeni kutokana na nafsi moja, na akamuumba kutoka kwake mke wake, ili apate utulivu wa kuishi naye. Alipokutana naye kimwili, alibeba mimba nyepesi, akaiendea nayo. Ilipokuwa nzito, wote wawili walimwomba Allah, Mola wao: “Ukitupa mtoto mwema, hakika tutakuwa miongoni mwa wenye shukrani.” [Al-A‘raf: 189] Anasema (SWT):

“It is He Who has created you from a single person, and He has created from Him his wife, in order that He might enjoy the pleasure of living with her. When He had sexual relations with her, she became pregnant and she carried it about lightly. Then when it became heavy, they both invoked Allah, their Lord: If You give us a good child, indeed we shall be amongst the grateful”. [Al- Araf: 189] He (swt) says:

"Na hakika tulituma Mitume kabla yako na tukawapa wake na watoto." [Ar-Ra'd: 38] Yeye (SWT) anasema:

“And indeed We sent Messengers before you and made for them wives and offspring”. [Ar- Rad: 38] He (swt) says:

"Na Mwenyezi Mungu amekufanyieni wake wa jinsi yenu wenyewe, na amekufanyieni, kutokana na wake zenu, wana na wajukuu." [An-Nahl: 72] Yeye (SWT) anasema:

“And Allah has made for you wives of your own kind, and has made for you, from your wives, sons and grandsons”. [An- Nahl: 72] He (swt) says:

"Na miongoni mwa Ishara Zake ni hii, kwamba Amewaumbia wake kutokana na nafsi zenu wenyewe, ili mpate utulivu kwao, na Amejaalia baina yenu mapenzi na rehema." [Ar-Rum: 21] Anasema (SWT):

“And among his Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy.” [Ar- Rum: 21] He (swt) says:

"Muumba wa mbingu na ardhi. Amekufanyieni wake kutokana na nafsi zenu". [Ash-Shura: 11] Anasema (swt):

“The Creator of the heavens and earth. He has made for you mates from yourselves”. [Ash- Shura: 11] He (swt) says:

“Na kwamba Yeye (Allah) ndiye aliyeumba jozi mbili, mume na mke, kutokana na nutfah (tone za manii) inapotoka.” [An-Najm: 45-46] Yeye (SWT) anasema:

“And that He (Allah) creates the pairs, - male and female, from nutfah (drops of semen) when it is emitted”. [An- Najm: 45-46] He (swt) says:

"Nasi pia tumekuumba kwa jozi." [An-Naba: 8] Hivyo basi, Allah (SWT) amefunga uumbaji wa mwanamume na mwanamke katika jambo la ndoa. Amerudia jambo hili, ili mtazamo kuhusu mwanamume na mwanamke ulenge ndoa, yaani kuzaa watoto kwa ajili ya kuendelea kuwepo kwa jamii ya binadamu.

“And We created you in pairs”. [An- Naba: 8] Thus, Allah (swt) restricted the creation of the male and female to the marital aspect. He (swt) repeated this, so that the view towards the male and female be focused on marriage i.e. towards producing offspring for the survival of the human race.
