New Testament states that women must not teach
or lead men:1 Timothy 2:11-14 New International Version (NIV)
11 A woman should learn in quietness
and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman
to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed
first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one
deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
New Testament states that women must cover their heads
because women are the glory of men, but men may not cover their heads because
men are the glory of God:
1 Corinthians 11:6-10 New International Version (NIV)
6 For if a woman does not
cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a
disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she
should cover her head.
7 A man ought not to cover
his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but
woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from
woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created
for woman, but woman for man. 10 It is for this reason
that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the
angels.
New
Testament states that women are not allowed to speak in the church:
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 New International Version (NIV)
34 Women should remain silent in
the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in
submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire
about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is
disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
New
Testament states that divorced women must not be married:
Mat. 5:32 New Living Translation
But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has
been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a
divorced woman also commits adultery.
Bible states that there
is one upright man among 1,000 men but there isn’t any upright woman among
1,000 women:
Ecclesiastes 7:26-28 New International Version (NIV)
26 I find more bitter than
death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands
are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will
ensnare.
27 “Look,” says the Teacher, “this is what I have
discovered: “Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
28 while I was still searching but not finding— I found
one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.
Quran
Surah 3:195
So their God accepted of them, "Never will I allow to be lost
the work of any of you, be he male or female. You are (members) one of another,
so those who emigrated and were driven out from their homes, and suffered harm
in My Cause, and who fought, and were killed (in My Cause), verily, I will
remit from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers
flow (in Paradise); a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.
QS 16:97
Whoever works righteousness,
whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer, verily, to
him/her We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and
lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to
the best of what they used to do
QS 40:40
Whosoever does an evil deed,
will not be requited except the like thereof, and whosoever does a righteous
deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allah),
such will enter Paradise, where they will be provided therein (with all things
in abundance) without limit.
QS 33:35
Verily, the
Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam) men and women, the believers men
and women (who believe in Islamic Monotheism), the men and the women who are
obedient (to Allah), the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and
deeds), the men and the women who are patient (in performing all the duties
which Allah has ordered and in abstaining from all that Allah has forbidden),
the men and the women who are humble (before their Lord Allah), the men and the
women who give Sadaqat (i.e. Zakat, and alms, etc.), the men
and the women who observe Saum (fast) (the obligatory fasting during
the month of Ramadan, and the optional Nawafil fasting), the men and the women
who guard their chastity (from illegal sexual acts) and the men and the women
who remember Allah much with their hearts and tongues (while sitting, standing,
lying, etc. for more than 300 times extra over the remembrance of Allah during
the five compulsory congregational prayers) or praying extra additional Nawafil prayers of night in the last part
of night, etc.) Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward
(i.e. Paradise)
