MAN AND WOMAN ARE
EQUAL IN THE QUR'AN

Do not covet what Allah has given to some of you in preference to
others— men have a portion of what they acquire and women
have a portion of what they acquire; but ask Allah for His bounty.
Allah has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 4:32)
Anyone, male or female, who does right actions and is a believer,
will enter the Garden. They will not be wronged by so much as the
tiniest speck. (Qur'an, 4:124)
Know then that there is no god except Allah and ask forgiveness
for your wrongdoing, and for the men and women who believe.
Allah knows both your activity and your repose. (Qur'an, 47:19)
The men and women of the believers are friends of one another.
They command what is right and forbid what is wrong, and
perform prayer and give alms, and obey Allah and His Messenger.
They are the people on whom Allah will have mercy. Allah is
Almighty, All-Wise. Allah has promised the men and women of the
believers Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in
them timelessly, for ever, and fine dwellings in the Gardens of
Eden. And Allah's good pleasure is even greater. That is the great
victory. (Qur'an, 9:71-72)
And those who abuse men and women who are believers, when
they have not merited it, bear the weight of slander and clear
wrongdoing. (Qur'an, 33:58)
This was so that Allah might punish the men and women of the
hypocrites, and the men and women of the idolaters, and turn
towards the men and women of the believers. Allah is Ever-
Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 33:73)
Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will
give them a good life and We will recompense them according to
the best of what they did. (Qur'an, 16:97)
