Abstract

As half of the human population, women are important social forces that play a valuable role in progress and excellence, especially in the field of education and training of the society; However, in some societies, they have always been unloved or neglected, and their role in social life has been ignored. While according to the Holy Qur'an, some social duties are shared between men and women, and some duties, if assigned to women, have a better result. This has attracted the attention of thinkers and researchers for the correct explanation of the role and position of women, and the discussions and studies related to women have always occupied a large volume of human and Islamic research. The purpose of this article, written with a descriptive and analytical method, is to explain and analyze the necessity of women's presence and social activity according to the Qur'an; Because in Islamic societies like Afghanistan, any research topic that has a Quranic support is acceptable. The findings of the research show that issues such as education, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is bad, communicating and explaining religious teachings among the women community, require the presence of women in the community. What is more, while accepting the human and equal nature of men and women, the Holy Quran also pays attention to their differences and has determined the rights and duties of each of them by considering the human nature and gender difference.
