Is the Hadith, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to other than Allah, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband," authentic or weak, and is the Hadith that states that most inhabitants of Hellfire are women consistent with the frequency of women's devotion to Allah?
The roles of men and women in life are shared and complementary. A woman cares for the home and raises children, earning satisfaction and Paradise by fulfilling her duties towards her home, husband, and children. Meanwhile, a man provides financial and moral support, raises children, and educates them. Each complements the other; the difference between them is one of diversity and integration, not opposition. Allah Almighty says: "Whoever does a good deed, whether male or female, and is a believer – We will surely grant them a good life, and We will surely reward them their due for the best of what they used to do." (Quran 16:97). And Allah Almighty says: "And due to them [the wives] is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise." (Quran 2:228). The general management of the family rests with the husband, and the wife must obey him in what is good, which achieves family stability and the happiness of its members.
