God"s commandments about the status of women and the relations between men and women, which have been revealed to us through the Koran, consist of full justice. In this regard, Islam suggests equality of rights, responsibilities and duties between the two genders. Islam is based on sympathy, tolerance and respect for human beings, and does not discriminate against women in this matter. Islam brought with it a great emancipation for women, who were severely persecuted in the pagan era.
