Actually, the attitude of the Qurán & the early Muslims bear witness to the fact that woman, is at least, as vital to life as man himself, & that she is not inferior to him nor is she one of the lower species. The rights & responsibilities of woman are equal to those a man but they are not necessarily identical w/ them. EQUALITY & SAMENESS are two quite different things. This difference is understandable bcoz man & woman are NOT identical BUT they are created equals. Equality is desirable, just, fair, but sameness is not. People are not created identical but they are created equal.
(with this distinction in mind, there is no room to imagine that woman is inferior to man). The facts that Islam gives her equal rights- BUT not identical- shows that it takes her into due consideration, acknowledges her, & recognize her independent personality. It is not the tone of Islam that brands woman as the product of the devil or the seed of evil, nor does the Qurán place man as the dominant lord of woman who has no choice but to surrender to his dominance. unlike other popular beliefs, Islam does not blame Eve alone for the first sin of mankind.
