God created men and women in this world as partners in enabling them to be His vicegerents on earth. Evidently in the genesis of humanity, Allah s.w.t. created Adam and Eve as partners in this life. Signifying the need of companionship for human beings, Allah s.w.t. created us into men and women. We were created with sole purpose of worshipping The Almighty Allah s.w.t. and bequeathed with roles and responsibilities. Allah s.w.t. developed the feeling of love and affection in ourselves as reconcile our gender differences and recognizes the need to be equal partners in carrying our amanah in this world.

A popular book by an American author, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus pointed out that both men and women are metaphorically came from distinct planets. Men and women only understand things from their respective viewpoints, while not being able to understand the opposite gender. This indeed has been the fundamental cause of relationship breakdown. However, are men and women really that different in Islam? Can the differences in men and women be reconciled through a harmonious approach that is based on mutual trust and respect?

The Quran clearly describe the gender paradigm in Islam by not by only acknowledging these differences but also offer a harmonious way to reconcile these differences. In verse 187 of Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah s.w.t. describes, “…your wives are garments to you and you are garments to them…”. Indeed, men and women are created to complete one another through developing the atmosphere of love and respect. They are helpers and protectors to one another. The relationship established between men and women through marriage is ideally to provide the source of comfort for both, just as the clothes provide comfort to the individuals. The Quran then elucidates that indeed the best garment is Taqwa (Quran 7:26).
