They are equal before God but are given different roles. One is not inferior to another.

Men must be responsible for the financial and spiritual well-being of the family. If he is unable to do either, he is technically not allowed to marry. The wife's money stays with her, she is not obligated to use any of it to support the family. That's his job.

Men are to treat their wives as a jewel in their hands.

I think I'd much rather be a woman than a man...less pressure, fewer responsibilities. In return all I'd have to do is to make family life pleasurable and the home a safe haven. Not a bad deal I don't think.

the certainty of the concern is that, it rather is complicated. In Islam, in line with what interpretation you're taking, Islam may be rather professional-woman, or rather oppressive to women people. because of the fact of all the combos of subculture into Islam, you get incredibly some those diverse interpretations. Complicating concerns added is that there are various contradictory surahs interior the Qu'ran and Hadiths with regard to the status of ladies people. even however for the term (whilst Islam advance into started) it advance into lots greater imaginitive approximately women people's rights then any of the different religions at that factor and did such issues as banning infanticide of woman infants.

In Islam, there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to Allah is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct.

The Qur'an says:

"For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise, for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward."(33:35)

At another point the Quran also points out:

Who so does that which is right, and believes, whether male or female, him or her will We quicken to happy life. (16:97)

Their Lord responds to them: "I will not let the deeds of any doer among you go to waste, male or female - you are both the same in that respect... "(3:195)

Allah also promises both men and women Paradise:

"Enter into Paradise, you and your wives, with delight." (43:70)

The Qur'an does not grant women the same rights as men, as it argues that women are distinct from men. The Quran, however, argues that it grants women the rights they fully deserve. Thus the Qur'an says:

And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women. (2:228)

The Quran commands men to cover the financial expenses of women:

"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill ­conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them, but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great." (4:34)

At the same time, the Quran allows women to have occupations and earn money as well:

"And covet not the thing in which Allah hath made some of you excel others. Unto men a fortune from that which they have earned, and unto women a fortune from that which they have earned. (Envy not one another) but ask Allah of His bounty. Lo! Allah is ever Knower of all things." (4:32)

Regarding inheritance the Quran says:

"From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for women, whether the property be small or large,-a determinate share." (4:7)

Critics, however, point out later verses which, in some cases, grant women a lower share than men:

"Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females..." (4:11)

In response Muslims point out that men are granted of their responsibility to fulfill the financial needs of their female relatives. Women, however, are under no such obligation.

When a woman is married, the Quran makes it obligatory on a man to provide Mahr for her.

"Wed them with permission of their folk, and give them Mahr according what is reasonable..." (4:25)

The Quran makes it obligatory on men to provide for the woman they have divorced:

"For divorced women Maintenance (should be provided) on a reasonable (scale). This is a duty on the righteous." (2:241)

If the woman gains custody of a child then the man must provide for his offspring as well:

"And the mothers may nurse their children for two whole years, if they wish to complete the period of nursing; and it is incumbent upon him who has begotten the child to provide in a fair manner for their sustenance and clothing." (2:233)

A man is also ordered to make arrangements for his widow:

"Those of you who die and leave widows should bequeath for their widows a year's maintenance and residence..." (2:240)

The Quran mandates, that the will of the woman be honoured in marriage:

"O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will." (4:19)

In regards to the chastity of women, the Quran lays down severe punishments on those who verbally harass women:

"And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors." (24:4)

The Quran also commands men to honor their mothers:

"Revere Allah and the wombs (that bore you)." (4:1)

The Quran continues on to command husbands to:

On the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If you take a dislike to them, it may be that you dislike something and Allah will bring about through it a great deal of good. (4:19)
