Islam established a woman’s equality in herhumanity with men; neither gender can be superior because it would be acontradiction to equality.Islam also, recognizes and fosters the natural differences between menand women despite their equality. This is no way diminishes either’s effortsor benefits. God will reward both sexes equally for the value of their work,through, it may not necessarily be the same activity.<br/><br/>Description: Dr. Nourah Al-YousefAssociate Professor of Economics/ King Saud UniversityAn Economic Consultant to the General Secretary of theGCC Secretariat.
