Is a girl's request to be transformed into a man in Paradise – due to what she perceives as Allah's preference for men as stated in His words: {Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has preferred some of them over others} – considered a lack of contentment with Allah's decree, and is she permitted to ask for that?

Everyone who enters Paradise will be content with the blessings they receive therein. Some women may be better than many men in the Hereafter, for the male gender does not mean the superiority of every man over every woman. The blessings of Paradise are many, and the highest of them is seeing the Face of Allah. A woman may attain more blessings in Paradise than men. The supplication mentioned has no basis, and it is feared that it may be an transgression in supplication.
