"The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife."
O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, Who created you from a single person, and created of like nature his mate, and from them, twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women (4:1).
SPIRITUAL STATUS OF WOMAN
The Qur'an categorically states that men and women who practice the principle of Islam will receive an equal reward for their efforts. 'Surely for men who submit to Allah and for women who submit to Allah, for believing men and for believing women, for devout men and devout women, for truthful men and truthful women, for steadfast men and steadfast women, for humble men and humble women, for charitable men and charitable women, for fasting men and fasting women, for men who guard their chastity and women who guard their chastity, for men who remember Allah much and for women who remember Allah much, for all of them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a mighty reward.' At another juncture, Allah says, 'Whosoever performs good deeds, whether male or female and is a believer, We shall surely grant him a peaceful and tranquil life, and We will certainly reward them for the best of what they did.'
