The application of "حرث" to women in verse 223 of Surah Al-Baqarah brings up the issue of objectification of women and instrumentalization of them for the interests of men; Because based on the appearance of " نسائکم حرثٌ لکم...", it is addressed to men that women are your fields. The idea that a woman is a parasite of a man from the view of Islam is incompatible with many evidences in Islam that emphasize the high dignity of women and consider their piety as the only criterion of human superiority between men and women. the question is to examine the point of view of lexicographers and commentators, This research considers the creation of the mentioned doubt to be due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of rhetorical points, the eloquent simile in Qur'an, which can be defended not only by using ancient literary perspectives, but also from the perspective of modern semantics. it is approved and admired in a favorable way. Because from this simile, prominent concepts such as the position and vital role of women in the survival and growth of the human race and the necessity of a man's special attention to her are learned scholarly.
