Muslim women have to perform her prayer, fasting, pilgrimage to the Holy Kaaba and remember God. Just like men, women have to observe the general religious standards relating to personal conduct, social dealings and moral behavior - like being truthful, fair altruistic, beneficent, righteous and well mannered. Islam does not provide different moral codes for men and women. Even in matters of public life they, too, are expected to do their part and endure the sufferings of life as patiently as men are supposed to do. They too are expected to show solidarity with the community of believers and to forsake the comforts of their home and hearth to migrate to the state of the Muslims, to wage jihad with them, and to promote the well being of their society. In all these matters there is no distinction between Muslim men and women. .
Women have an equal opportunity and incentive to share in every aspect of religious virtue: "God has got ready forgiveness and tremendous rewards for the Muslim men and women; the believing men and women; the devout men and women; the truthful men and women; the patiently suffering men and women; the humble men and women; the almsgiving men and women; the fasting men and women, the men and women who guard their chastity; and the men and women who are exceedingly mindful of God". (Al Ahzab, 35).
Nothing in Islam may stand in the way of a woman contributing to the general good and competing for religious achievement. The equal personal responsibilities of women in Islam are evident and clearly established. It is shown in the practice of the Prophet that collective duties are commonly borne by men and women.
On the basis of the uniform principles of Islam, a Muslim woman enjoys the same capacity and freedom enjoyed by a man. She too can propose to a man for marriage, orally or in writing, she can freely choose her spouse, reject a suitor she does not like or obtain divorce from an estranged husband against his will.
