The impact of gender on the rule of sovereignty in Nahj al-Balaghah

After the battle of Jamal, Talah and Zubair attempted to make one of the Prophet's wives as the head of state. Imam Ali, referred to this event as "consolidation of women" and referred women as "al-nawaqs al-aqul" and mentioned the testimony of two women against one man. In relation to the above terms and interpretations, this question arises that what is the relation between the lack of reason of a woman and two women's testimony against a man, and what effect does this have on the authority of the woman? Some interpret the lack of reason in such a way that women have less intelligence or power than men. This article through investigating the words “reason” and “lack” in Quran and traditions concluded that the word “reason” means protection and security, and by examining the verse of testimony, it was clear that the deficiency of reason in the idiomatic sense of reason cannot be the philosophy of two women's testimony against a man. So, this verse by mentioning “reason” indirectly emphasizes the security of women. thereby giving rise to gender characteristics that are inconsistent with the conditions of managers and expressed in Nahj al-Balaghah, in fact, the tenure of the community is not commensurate with the gender characteristics of women.
