[quote]Assalamo Alaikum,

In order to address the question whether or not woman have “defective intellect” which causes forgetfulness, I have quoted the Ayat of Surat Taha which attribute the act of first ever forgetfulness only to Sydena Adam {alahissalam} and not to his wife, i.e a woman.
The second argument from the Quran is that how could it be presumed or opined that women have lesser intellect than the man when both are the procreation of same pair of First Man and First Woman.
And to address the wrong perception of “lesser or defective intellect” of women, attention is invited to the fact that no distinction has been made between a man and woman regarding the criteria for going back to Al jannat.
Then the question has been addressed by inviting attention to the very purpose of creation of every thing, which has been disclosed like this:
  
{Allah created seven skies and earth} "for exposing/testing you; who amongst you people acts moderately/nicely/balanced" {Refer 11:07}
 
"We have made whatever is on earth as attraction in her so that We may expose/test them as to who amongst them performs moderate/balanced/nice acts" {Ref 18:07}
 
"Allah is The One Who created matter and life, for exposing/testing you people, as to who amongst you performs moderate/balanced/nice acts" {Refer 67:02}
There is nothing other than that what has been mentioned in these verses which human beings could perceive. All creation is for one purpose; who amongst us acts “Ahsan Amalan”. 
And it has been explained as to what is an act and how it is performed? The Arabic word “Amalan”denotes only those acts which are performed by design and will. It can be performed only when data about it is saved in the memory. Retrieving that data and translating it into action is called "عمل". And the data in memory is called "علم" in Arabic. Both these words have similar particles ع , ل , م. The  عمل could be termed as transposition of علم. When “Ahsan Amalan” is directly dependant upon “Aql” how could it be presumed that women are equipped with “defective intellect”?
And lastly attention is invited to the words of Allah where He said that human beings, both man and woman constitute humanity, is created in exacting balance, in best of the mould.[/quote]
