And in Islam, men and women are overall

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

equal.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

Equality

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

does not mean identicality.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

Men and women, they're equal, but they're not

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

identical. For example, if in a school, student

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

A and student B, they get the highest

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

marks. The question paper, it is out of

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

100 marks. And both student A and student

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

B get 80 out of 100. If you

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

analyze,

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

in question number 1, student a, he gets

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

9 out of 10 and student b gets

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

7 out of 10. And question number 2,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

student b gets 9 out of 10. And

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

student a gets 7 out of 10. And

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

the remaining 8 questions both get 8 out

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

of 10. And if you analyze both of

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

them, you get 80 out of 100. But

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

in question number 1, student A has a

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

degree of advantage

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

And in question number 2, student b has

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

a degree of advantage.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

But overall, they both are equal.
