The answer

A Muslim must submit to Allah's decree and destiny, and believe that there is wisdom behind the actions of Allah Almighty, whether a person knows it or is ignorant of it. Allah created Adam from clay without a father or a mother, and Eve from a father without a mother, and Jesus from a mother without a father, and made the rest of humanity from a father and a mother, all with wisdom. His wisdom necessitated the existence of males and females, and He specialized each gender with characteristics, so He made pregnancy and menstruation characteristics of women, as stated in the of Aisha: "Indeed, this is a matter Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam."
