Equal from their origins

Women are as essential as men for the continuation of human life and development
of society. Any discrimination based on gender is a grave offense. Islam
considers it a sin against the Creator and Lawgiver who made men and women
equal participants in the human species.
The fist verse of a lengthy surah (chapter) of the Quran called “The Women”
reads:
“O people Be conscious of your Lord, who has created you out of one living
entity, and out of it created its mate, and out of the two spread abroad a
multitude of men and women. And remain conscious of God, in whose name
you demand (your rights) from one another, and these ties of kinship. Verily,
God is ever watchful over you.”(4:1)
