The Aya says:
So, their nurturing Lord responded to them that I do not make lost work of a worker amongst you, male or female, some of you (are) from some. So, those who migrated and were expelled from their homes, and were harmed in my path and physically fought and were killed, I will indeed forgive them their ugly deeds and words, and I will indeed make them enter gardens, rivers flowing underneath. Reward from Allah and at Allah’s presence (is) beauty of the reward.
My personal note:
This Aya gives the beautiful response from Allah that He indeed will give them what he promised them. It ends with the very important and beautiful statement: At Allah’s is the beauty of the reward.
Translation of the transliterated words:

I don't accept this one:
Thakarin: male
Note: the root is TH-K-R and it means many things that may or may not be related. One concrete meaning is male organ or male. THAKARIN means the male. This also can be extended to mean active, hard and non receptive.
Aw: or
Ontha: female
Note: the root is Hamza-N-Th and it means female. This word is further used to any entity that is soft, passive and receptive as opposed to male which is generally used for active and hard and non receptive. ONTHA means female.
So you want to say that the female is passive? The female/ women are Not passiv and should not be. Islam came and put the Status of the female from passiv into active.
What you are saying is exactly what the Christians say: Male = aktive, female = passive which is not okay. It's an insult since God no where said this. Also the male can also be sensitive, soft and the female can be strong.
Wa Alaikum Assalam,
I appreciate what you are saying and your concern in it. However, linguistically the root Hamza-N-TH points to passivity or receptivity. I will refer you to Aya 117 in sura number 4 where it mentions that they worship (Inath). They did not worship females because they worshipped males and females. However, they worshipped entities that do not do anything and that is why the term Inath was used to describe them.
Now your point is well taken that females are not passive as individuals or groups and males are not active always. The reconciliation is that the term originates with the role males and females play sexually with each other (male penetrator, female receptor) but that does not have to extend to all other aspects of life as you very well pointed out.
Take care and thank you for your input.
Hussein
