The answer

Islam is a religion of justice. Allah commands justice and excellence. Justice means giving everyone their due right. Justice does not always necessitate equality, but it does equalize men and women in faith, good deeds, and reward, and in many rights such as ownership, education, and disposal of property, as well as in many obligations. The differences between them are necessitated by wisdom and by biological and physiological distinctions. Justice does not require people to be equal in all things, as the differences among humans are ordained by Allah according to His wisdom.
