Male and female are equal in Islam

The content of Holy Quran depicts the context of religion Islam and its teachings. The role of Sunnah of Prophet (PBUH) is explaining and defining the meaning of Quranic text. We get to know from both of these sources that ALLAH Almighty has created men and women so that they get tranquillity, bliss, and pleasure in the company of each other. Responsibility, accountability and spiritual equality for both men and women are a quite obviously explained in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran clearly reveals and clarifies on the matter of gender equality in Sura An-Nisa verse 4:1 Quran.

Verse 9:71 of Holy Quran,
