According to Qur'anic Morality, Men and Women are Equal, and

Superiority is Defined by Heedfulness

In terms of Qur'anic moral values, there is no difference between men and women. God has imposed
equal responsibilities on both, and holds both responsible for the same matters. Whether one is a male

or female does not make a person superior in the sight of God, but fear and deep love of and devotion
to Him, and proper moral values do. In one of His verses, our Lord reveals that regardless of gender,
those who exhibit the best behavior will receive the best reward for their moral values:

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. (Surat an-Nisa', 124)
God has also set out the attributes that any believer needs to possess:

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 the alms, and obey God and His messenger. They are the peo-

ple on whom God will have mercy. God is Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat at-Tawba, 71)
As revealed by God in the verse, every human being has the same responsibilities. Those men and
women who fulfill them, who turn solely to God and have faith, have been imparted these glad tidings:

Their Lord responds to them "I will not let the deeds of any doer among you go to waste, male or female..."
(Surah Al 'Imran, 195)

The mental characteristics that Darwinists use as criteria are abilities given by God, irrespective of
gender. In one verse, God reveals: "You who believe! If you fear [and respect] God, He will give you
discrimination..." (Surat al-Anfal, 29) As this verse reveals, judgment—and thus, intellect—develops
not according to gender, but according to fear of God.
Everyone, male or female, who acts with the reason given by God, may achieve success in many ar-

eas and acquire superior characteristics. A true believer, however, most seeks to earn God's mercy, com-
passion and Paradise.
