https://www.quora.com/What-is-Islams-view-on-the-equality-of-men-and-women/answer/Cassandra-Strand?share=d3c9a6a7&srid=3CUYw..................So, first the issue of Equality between men and women in Islam is divided into two parts one is the spiritual/soul and the other is the earthly/physical. In the spiritual sense Islam views everyone as exactly the same. All souls are judged individually for they own deeds and beliefs. Nobody's soul is responsible for another's actions. It mentions specifically the man and woman are created from the same soul and also that we are each half of that soul. In the eyes of God our spiritual selves are equal to one another and carry the same weight and and responsibility for following the rules of our religion.
"He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah , your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted?"~ Qur'an: Surat Az-Zumar (39):6
and
"It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah , their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful." ~ Quran: Surat Al-Araf (7):189
Now the more complicated part is that of the worldly/physical aspect. In this Islam does not give men and women equality it gives them instead equity. First lets consider the meaning of each of these words "Equality/Equal" and "Equitable/Equity"
Equality is the state of being equal. Equal is defined as being the same.
Equitable is having or exhibiting equity. Equity is defined as fairness of justness in the way people are treated.
Now western society has told us that equal is better but personally I think Equitable is better. We are not all equal and the same. Some people are handicapped, some poor, some rich, some fat some thin, some smart, some dumb. We have different skills, different experiences, different ideas, different coping mechanisms. Islam is a system that deals in fairness and justice. This is the way that things are divided between the sexes because man does not equal woman. We are not the same. A man can not conceive and carry a baby, he cannot birth a baby, and without much difficulty and possibly hormone treatments he cannot breastfed a baby (I have read some stories of men who conditioned their bodies to lactate to nurse their baby but this is not a natural state), they don not have menses, etc... Because we are different and can never be truly equal in the worldly physical sense we are given equity. In an equitable division we are given a fair division.
Women's roles are indeed more focused on home and children because our bodies and disposition are naturally more attuned to the role of child birth and child rearing. Men are as a whole generally physically stronger and better at the hunting role and the provider role. Men are given head of household but in exchange for getting the final say in matters they also must be the protectors and providers. Women can have their own income and savings and have no obligation to share it with their spouse who is essentially responsible for all necessary upkeep and maintenance of his family. In Islam it really is essentially that What's hers is hers and what's his is hers. Men have many obligations to women Islamically which offset the factors that outwardly and individually may seem to be unfair or unequal. Islam also elevates women. For example Islam says that heaven is beneath our Mothers feet. We should love, honor, and respect our mothers 3 times as much as our fathers because of the hardships they endure in carrying us in the womb and raising us. Women are considered half of the deen (religion) for a man. Raising a good Muslim daughter is said to be a ticket into Jannah (heaven). In many ways one could say that because of this Islam perhaps is favorable to women than men.
