After what has preceded I think that there is no harm if we say that half of the rectification of society, if not the majority of it, is dependant on the women and this is because of two reasons:
The first reason is that the population of women is similar to that of men if not greater in number. Rather, they are the majority of the children of Adam. What i mean is that the majority of the the children of Adam are women. Just as the Prophetic Sunnah points to this fact. But this differs from one place to another and at one time to another. Because the women could out number the men in a particular place and it could be the opposite in another place. Just as the women could out number the man at a particular time and opposite at another time. In any case the women has a major role in rectifying the society.
The second reason is that the upbringing of generations, firstly starts under the supervision and the guardianship of the women. This brings clarity to the importance of the role, which is obligatory upon the women in rectifying society.
