The Quran says: Surely, men who submit themselves to God and women who submit themselves to Him, and believing men, and believing women, and obedient men and obedient women and truthful men and truthful women, and men steadfast in their faith and steadfast women". This demonstrates that Muslim men and women are spiritually regarded as equals and woman can attain the same of devotion to God as men. Allah created men and women to equally follow the same commandments and entitled the same rights, but only distinguished them based on their marital status. Men and women are expected to fulfill the same duties; worship, prayer, fasting, almsgiving and pilgrimage to Mecca. The Quran says:  "fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and of its kind created its mate, and from them twain spread many men and women." Single soul signifies that both sexes are unified together as one soul, belonging to the same species and having the same propensities.
