Q
What is the significance of the metaphor of the rib in understanding the nature of women in Islam?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor.
And I advise you to take care of the women, for they are created from a rib and the most crooked
portion of the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will
remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the women.”
