Status of Women in Islam

"O Mankind! Reverence your Guardian Lord, Who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain Scattered like seeds countless men and women

[The Holy Quran Surah Nissa, Chapter 4 and verse 1]
Islam does not regard woman in any way inferior to man. It makes both of them equal partners in the business of life. They are two wheels of the same carriage and the carriage cannot move forward without either. the above verse shows that men and women come from the same root; they are branches of the same tree.
