Are the rewards for men and women equal in Paradise if they have the same amount of good deeds, given that men are distinguished by the houris while women are restricted to one husband?

There is no need to delve deeply into these questions. It suffices to be certain of Allah’s justice, wisdom, grace, and mercy. He does not let the reward of those who do good go to waste, nor does He wrong a believer, in confirmation of His saying, exalted be He: "Indeed, Allah does not wrong [even as much as] an atom's weight; and if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward." This applies equally to both males and females, as stated in His saying, exalted be He: "And their Lord responded to them, 'Indeed, I will not allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another.'" And His saying: "And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged [even as much as] as a [thread on a] date seed."
