Gender roles in Islam are based on scriptures, cultural traditions, and jurisprudence. The Quran, the holy book of Islam, indicates that both men and women are spiritually equal. The Quran states: "Those who do good, whether male or female, and have faith will enter Paradise and will never be wronged; even as much as the speck on a date stone." — Quran: 4:124 However, this notion of equality has not been reflected in several laws in Muslim-based institutions. In some Muslim-based countries, women are legally restricted from practicing certain rights.
