Contradiction in the Qur’An Regarding the Preference Between Men and Women

1 min read 209 words

Some sophists imagine that there is a contradiction in the Holy Qur’an regarding the preference of men over women and equality between them, and they prove their illusion by saying: “O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate” (An-Nisa’: 1), and saying: “And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy” (Ar-Rum: 21), and saying: “And Allah has made for you mates from yourselves and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren” (An-Nahl: 72), and saying: “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has given one more (strength) than the other and because they spend (for maintenance) from their wealth” (An-Nisa’: 34).

They ask: How does the Quran state in many places that men and women are equal, and that they were created from one soul, and then in other places it states that men are superior to women, and that they have the right to beat and abandon them?! Their aim behind this is to attack the Holy Quran and its rulings.
