7. Just like in Masnavi, Darwin also regarded women

inferior and like animals

Darwin describes the role of woman in marriage as follows:

'an object to be beloved and played with—better than a dog
anyhow'—... (Charles Darwin, The Autobiography of Charles Darwin
1809-1882, Edited by Nora Barlow, W. W. Norton & Company Inc., New
York, 1958, pp. 232-233)

In his book, The Descent of Man, Darwin says that with
regard to women's ability to reason, understand and mimic,
they possess the characteristics of "inferior races" and there-

fore they possess an outdated and inferior civilization. (John
R. Durant, "The Ascent of Nature in Darwin's Descent of Man" in The Dar-
winian Heritage, Ed. by David Kohn, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University
Press, 1985, p. 295)

God informs in the Qur'an that women and men are

equal in terms of faith, morality and wisdom and
that superiority is only by piety

Men and women who are Muslims, men and women who are
believers, men and women who are obedient, men and women
who are truthful, men and women who are steadfast, men and
women who are humble, men and women who give charity, men

and women who fast, men and women who guard their chastity,
men and women who remember God much: God has prepared
forgiveness for them and an immense reward. (Qur'an, 33:35)
