    My view on this is that not all the times rajul or rijal means human males, it may be both males and females, at other times it means males. The same with nisa'. Many times means human females and some times it means something else. I think it is a matter of context, but I do agree that "traditional" misunderstanding tends to use the ambivalence to promote their own preconceptions and interests and it is very important that the different possibilities be looked into without preconceptions, or with as few preconceptions as humanly possible.

      I agree 100@ with you shirley. Nisa does NOT mean women nor does rijaal means men. The quranic word for female is unsa and male is zakr. I dont know why its so hard for some people to understand, pethaps maybe because they are too influenced by the sectarians. All my research tells me that its imposdible that nisa are women and rijaal men. Woe to the sectarians who alter the meaning of the quranic words in order to fit their agenda .

      nisa always refers to over two or 3+ females NEVER to males
      this is a clear definition given in 411

      So if nisa over two (feminine)

      end of discussion

        http//corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp?chapter=4&verse=11

        dhakarin = male
        unth = female

        Replacing Nisa, for the People, in 411 would make 411 more Generous.

        poor people would like it.

          unth = female

          But not specifically a man and a woman, it could be a donkey and she-donkey. This refers to sex of the species. Therefore it means masculine and feminine, not necessarily a man and woman. In 411 is first Aulaad which could comprise both genders, males and females and then females are described by the specific name Women.

            read the verse work some cases before posting nonsense
            411 addreses ditributions to children not people
            it defines precisely
            if 1 female
            if 2 female
            if 3+ female ie nisa

              Sorry. You too, please make more sense.

              to proof Nisa = Women, not a nonsense, A Verse from Quran-Book that applied "Nisa" to a Description of Women. Ie, Breastfeed, Bearing-Child, Menstruation bleeding.

              Like this for example;
              2222
              And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives/nisa during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."

                You are correct. But since unsa is a gender like zakr it includes men and women as well

                  You misunderstood something. nisa is not a gendet hence both men and women can be nisa. So shirley is absolutely correct when she says that nisa does not mean women.

                            This verse is NOT about menstruation . It would also be silly since men don't have menstruation and nisa are weak men and women among the people in contradiction to the elite rijaal and qawm

                                  Possible oversight? Yes.

                                  Evidence for such oversight? Lacking.

                                  All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                                        Male and female are clearly defined boundaries.

                                        Masculine and feminine exist on a continuum like the yin and yang.

                                        The "man" referred to in quran is androgynous, so to speak. And you know exactly how I mean.

                                        Peace

                                          And pl find time to look at the avator and the sign under it and then compare it with some "male".
