The origin of humanity has been thought of by scholars throughout history. The word 'origin' comes from the Latin origo, meaning 'beginning' or 'source'. We firmly believe that the source of humanity is women — our mothers, who raise and teach us and encode our culture, religion, and language into our minds.

The origin of humanity has been thought of by scholars throughout history. We want to understand the origin of humanity. Firstly, we should look at the meaning of the word origin. In the dictionary, “origin” is a point or place where something begins, arises, or is derived. It’s a point of something. The word comes from the Latin “origo,” meaning “beginning” or “source.” Its meaning varies slightly based on context but generally refers to the starting point of a person, thing, or idea. So, origin defines what comes from where. We firmly believe that the source of humanity is women. Because our sources are our mothers, they raise and teach us and code our culture, religion, and language to our minds. They are nurturing figures who have played a pivotal role in shaping our civilization. Their contributions, often overlooked, are deserving of our utmost respect and admiration.

Therefore, we should look at our women to change something or learn. They are sources of civilisations. And the key to their empowerment and the progress of our society lies in their education. When you comprehend which country has civilization, you should look at their attitude toward women and their freedom of education. We should educate them to raise the country before man. Even today, some people defend the idea that women should not study, but if they do this for religion, they are on the wrong side because Prophet Muhammed (Pbuh) has built a part of a school called “Suffa” in Masjid an‑Nabawi. We used to think they were only for men, but according to Nusret Çam, there was a place for women. This source shows that Prophet Muhammed (Pbuh) had seen women as the source of “Ummah” before us. They were the Mothers of Ummah.

In conclusion, if we want to look at the source of civilisation, we can find the mother, who has been the silent architect of these civilizations. We should not forget that and continue to develop our civilisation. The hadith, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” serves as a powerful inspiration, motivating us to continue our quest for knowledge and progress.
