Equality Between Men and Women in Islam

Equality Between Men and Women in Islam

Islam establishes the principle of equality between men and women in all aspects of life that they are equal in, because both of them are equally human. It does however distinguishes between them in some areas, taking into consideration the natural differences between them and the special qualities that each of them has.

Equality between men and women in Islam is derived from the following considerations:
1. Equality in their human origins: Islam conclusively establishes that all human beings have a common origin. This fact is mentioned in many verses of the Qur’ân:
- O Mankind, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and created from it its mate and brought forth from the two of them many men and women.

- O Mankind, verily we created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes so you may know one another. Verily the most honorable of you with Allah are the most righteous.
2. Equality in their common destiny:

Islam also establishes that all of mankind is going to return to Allah who created them, and everyone – male and female – is going to be recompensed for his or her worldly deeds. They will receive well if they did good and they will be requited with evil if they did evil. Allah says:
- And every one of you will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.

- A human being will have nothing except for what he does. And his deeds will be seen. Then he will be recompensed fully.

- So their Lord accepted of them their supplication and answered them: ‘I will never allow the work of any of you to be lost, male or female. You are from each other.

- Whoever works righteousness as a believer, whether male or female, we will truly give a good life and We shall pay them a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do.
