I always used to wander why often women are less intelligent than men. Now I was reading in a magazine (or newspaper?) article that their brains are smaller. On average a man's brain weighs 1.25 kg while woman's brain is at most 100 grams or less. Obviously this is a modern discovery, but isn't it interesting our Prophet Muhammad (alaihi salatu wa salam) knew women are less intelligent 1400 years ago. He never cracked open any skulls and measured their brains, how did he know unless Allah told him?
Prophet Muhammad (alaihi salatu wa salam) said:
"I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women)."
(Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 6, Number 301)

More of you misogynistic attitudes?
I assume you still want to slap women who do not cover to your standard.
Hopefully some good Muslims will attack these messages of hate and intolerance.

This is not a message of hate, this is what our Prophet Muhammad (alaihi salatu wa salam) said and what modern science has discovered to be true. No "good" Muslim will attack the words of Prophet Muhammad (alaihi salatu wa salam), so don't hold your breath.
Stay on topic please. Otherwise the admins will reign you in, insha Allah. I didn't make this thread to bash women, but to give a great proof of Islam.

But you see, if they delete my messages, they will surly delete your misogamist statements.
But women are smaller than men generally anyway! My dad was just laughing at how small my hands are compared to his- if his whole body is bigger than mine I would expect his brain to be too.
Unless the article said that the size of a brain is linked to intellect I don't think your conclusion is valid.
Size of brain is indeed related to intellect. That's why squirrels aren't as intelligent as humans. Now some of you might say, what about elephants and huge animals like that? You'll be surprised to know they have tiny brains, much smaller than ours.

I'm asking you to prove your claim that larger brains makes a person more intellegant. I don't understand how this is derailing your thread. This is the claim you made, this is the whole point of the thread.
Did the article you read say that larger brains makes a person smarter? Or are you just assuming this?

Who cares...we all know that it dont matter how big u brain is or how small... we all smart...
Prophet (pbuh) informed us that the woman is "Deficient in her intelligence." 1 , he did not meant it to be a belittlement of women, however what he was illustrating to us is how to deal with a woman. The most miserable man is the one who whenever a dispute occurs between him and his wife he says to her, "let's leave off emotions and deal with the issue based on intelligence." What does it mean that she is "Deficient in her intelligence?" That is, her intelligence is deficient in comparison to her emotions, for her emotions are very strong. So you men are deficient in emotions. You have full intellect because intelligence is something that is relative. The woman is deficient in her intelligence and the man is deficient in his emotions. So Allaah created males with faculties that suits his being and He created females with faculties that suits her nature. This is why both spouses would not obtain amicability until they both return to the deen of Allaah, and that they both know their rights in the deen of Allaah.
after this...there will be 'ibn' brothers warned the others for opening this kind of thread... :X

I am personally interested to know whether the size of a persons brain makes them smarter or not. Talha made the claim, I want to know if he is just saying it or if this is scientifically established.
