Bismillah


alright dear UmmZ,


in the translated text, it describes the women as deficient, however, if I d explain it in arabic, it says missing in amount of because the Messenger said Naqesat which means incomplete. i know it may be taken as sysnonym, but this is how i feel it better. Now when we are incomplete in terms of rational, mind or the like, it never means that we are unable to think, but rather as I said we tend to be more emotional specially at certain times.


Now, testimony is actually a major responsibility, therefore, if u look at this, you will find that Allah Is so Merciful and of course Understanding of how He Created women. Who else can understand and realize our status more. Thus, during certain times, like pregnancy and menses, women tend to be emotional, unsure about their decisions, (at certain time I worked with american women who were researching about divorce in Islam, she questioned me about the same thing, I asked her how many times she asked her husband for divorce when she was pregnant, she said if he agreed to my decision, we would have been divorced by now), forgetful as well. Out of Allah's Mercy Who legislates to cover all possibilities and situations, Allah Made our testimony half of the men. Take in consideration that men also receive double of our inheritance.


To conclude:


it involves less responsibility out of Allah's Mercy


It gives us room to support one another


It involves Allah's understanding to our situation at certain times


It never convey's our short or lack of abilities or else the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam would have never refered to his wives for advice in so many situations.
