This brief introduction is on why Allah says in the Quran that "the male is not like the female".

Hannah, the wife of Imran, wanted a son whom she planned to dedicate to the deen. Instead she delivered a girl and not the son she longed and planned for so much. She was devastated.

In relation to her disappointment Allah then tells her that “the male is not like the female”. Now note that in the Arabic language the focus is on the second comparison rather than the previous. Thus Allah s.w.t is saying to her that not only is the girl different from a boy, rather how incredible this baby girl will be compared to any other woman. And true enough later we come to learn that this child is non other than Maryam, the mother of our beloved  prophet Isa a.s.

The relevance of this verse to us  in this day and age is that we may look at this verse as a verse for the women, defending the women and preserving the women.
