The following quotations from the Qur’an and Hadith highlight the most important aspects of feminine virtue and the standing which a woman should have vis-à-vis her husband and father: Treat them with kindness; for even if you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing which God has meant for your own abundant good.1 Women shall with justice have rights similar to those exercised against them, although men have a degree (of advantage) above women.
