The institutionalization of law facilitates the continuation and maintenance of societies, not the number of legal books or the fear of punishment ..." 2 ________________________ 1 Hadrat Ma'suma wa Shahri Qom, 82, Second Edition, Daftar Tabliqat Islami Qom, 1369. 2 Qanun wa Shakhsiyyat, p.2. Chapter Nine : Woman's Mission The human being is a free creature, who can decide overtly, and choose something from among others.

However, man or woman is entangled in nature's compulsory rules, limited by natural traditions, and cannot go beyond them. For instance, the human being becomes hungry; his/her hunger is satisfied with some food. S/he needs the air and to breathe. S/he gets sick and needs drugs. Finally, after a period of growth, s/he gradually looses power and passes away. There are no options and solutions in such issues, but obedience and surrender.

The result of this compulsion principle in science is that the natural rules of any creature are not changeable. Any attempt for changing these compulsory conditions may violate that creature's quality of existence. Even if he/she/it is able to continue life after being altered, he/she/it may not remain as efficient as before. The nature's unchangeable rules have also defined certain duties and missions for man and woman. They should find their mission inside the natural framework and follow it.

It is therefore not logical that woman accomplishes the male's duties and vice versa; it is no progress or evolution, as some people might think! "Physiologic rules are as rigid as the rules of stars and not changeable because of human desires ..." 1 As a result, anyone should attempt, think, and act inside his/her framework of existence to go beyond the material life to human perfection. Man and woman's special missions are discussed with regard to this inflexible criterion.

Though man and woman are from the same essence of creation, according to the natural laws each one has a especial mission. His mission is to be a good man and her mission is to be a good woman; that is what the nature has specified for them. 'Women should try to develop their natural characteristics, in line with their own nature and without blind imitation. Their mission in promoting the human race is much greater than men's is. Women should not consider their mission as unimportant.
