He also adds: “If brave women are taken away from nations, the nations will succumb to defeat and decadence.” According to Imam Khomeini, Women are great trainer of society. Men are brought up by women. Happiness and misery of a country depends on women.
In general, the value of mankind in the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini is defined through “humanity” which is emphasized by the Qur’an, too. The status and individuality of human beings as well as their rights of freedom have a structure which has been provided by the Islamic teachings and the brilliant commandments of Qur’an.

Ayah 43 of surah Ale Imran reads: “O Maryam! Keep to obedience to your Lord and humble yourself, and bow down with those who bow.”

This woman has been the purpose of the creation and the interpretation of “hayya ala khair al-amal” is referring to “doing good to her and her children”.
