Is a man in Islam obligated with more than a woman (such as Jihad, congregational prayers, and Friday prayers), and therefore will his reward in Paradise be greater, as he is uniquely granted the Houris, while it is not mentioned in the Quran that a woman is uniquely granted anything without a man?
"The اختصاص of men with religious obligations is a manifestation of their preference, as Allah Almighty says: ﴿Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has preferred some of them over others﴾ [An-Nisa: 34]. This preference includes multiple aspects, among them: their exclusivity in leadership roles, prophethood, and messengership, and many acts of worship such as Jihad, Eid prayers, and Friday prayers. It also includes what Allah has bestowed upon them in terms of intellect, sobriety, patience, endurance, and providing for their wives. As for their exclusivity with the Houris, on the basis that this is the reason, there is no evidence to support it."
