The Spiritual Uplifting Of Women According To Islam
Quran tells us that only Taqwa is what differentiates the mankind and nothing else. The Qur’an states:
“Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds” (Qur’an 74:38). It also states:
…So their Lord accepted their prayers, (saying): I will not suffer to be lost the work of any of you whether male or female. You proceed one from another …(Qur’an 3: 195).
The Qur’an presents clear-cut clues that woman is absolutely equated with man in the view of God in terms of her privileges and responsibilities. Often this is misunderstood that men and women are not equal in the eyes of Allah in the teachings of Islam. For more on the equality of the of mankind consult online Quran recitation services that provide you translation of Quran as well.
Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily to him will We give a new life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according to the their actions. (Qur’an 16:97, see also 4:124).
Woman according to the Qur’an is not blamed for Adam’s first mistake. Both were jointly wrong in their disobedience to God, both repented, and both were forgiven. (Qur’an 2:36, 7:20 – 24). In one verse in fact (20:121), Adam specifically, was blamed.
The responsibilities might be different but the spiritual aspect has no difference in the levels and position until they excel in the fields of Quran and Sunnah.
