Commentary
The aim of this Verse is that the society, meant and aimed at by Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ, its characteristics and components are both males and females. Therefore the women are not mentioned under the mention of men, rather they are mentioned equally side by side of men, because the women are a half of the society and they are equal part of it. They are even more in numbers; the women's role of constructing a stable society or causing mischief to it is not less than that of the men.
