Allah, our Supreme Creator, has granted either gender its rights; men their rights and women theirs - some of these rights are common to both genders; some special to men and some special to women. Allah has created both men and women to play their special role on earth. Some of the duties women are capable of doing are beyond the ability of men, while some of mans duties are beyond the ability of women. Men and women are not exactly equal and alike; this is why both have been created in the first place as both have an important role to play. If this was not the case, it would have sufficed to create just one of them. Every action of His is dictated by Divine Wisdom and Knowledge and it is not possible that Allah would create anything in this universe in vain, with no purpose.
When the point has been accepted that men and women are not the same and that they have not been created for the same purpose, then common sense dictates that their rights cannot be the same or equal. There can be no “equality†of rights. Just as they are different in purpose of creation and duties, either gender should have its independent set of rights, although some may be common, others may differ. This ought to have been a simple, straight-forward, logical fact of life, yet it has become one of the most confounded and complicated issue in the modern world where most people seem to be supporting the notion of “gender equality†or “equality of rights between man and womanâ€Â.
