In Islam, there is completely no difference between male and female as both are promised the same reward for good deeds and same punishment for unlawful and evil deeds.
Allah says in the Quran:
“And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women” Quran 2:228
Allah SW says that the women have exactly the same souls which men have.
Allah says in the Quran:
“Enter into paradise, you and your wives, with delight” Quran 43:70
The Quran uplifts the women because of pregnancy which is opposite to the Bible (Book of Genesis chapter 3, verse 16) which says pregnancy is a curse.
But Allah says in the Quran:
“And we have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command) “Show gratitude to me and to thy parents: to me is (thy final) goal.” Quran 31:14
Allah SW says to respect our parents especially our mother because she bore us in pain in trouble upon trouble. The pain she bears to give birth, so we have to especially respect and adore her.
Allah says in Surah al-Ahqaf:
“And We have enjoined on you to be dutiful and kind to your parents.
In pain did your mother bear you, and in pain did she give birth to you.
And when you reach the age of strength and maturity, say:
‘My Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and my parents.
And that I may do righteous deeds, such as ones that please You.
Indeed, I have turned to You in repentance, And Indeed, I am one of those who believe in You.'” Quran 46:15
So, pregnancy uplifts the women. If you analyze the Quran, the Quran gives the criteria of almighty Allah SW to judge human being in Surah Hujurat.
Allah Says in the Quran:
“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).” Quran 49:13
It is clear from the above verse, the only criteria for almighty Allah SW to differentiate one human being above other is Allah consciousness, righteous deeds, and Taqwa, but it is never sex.
Allah says again:
"I do not neglect anyone's labor whether the laborer is male or female. You are all related to one another”. Quran: 3:195
Allah says again:
“For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise,- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward.” Quran 33:35
So Allah SW never discriminates between men and women. It is only their righteous and evil deeds which make them high or low in the eyes of Allah SW.
