Objectives: Given the variety of opinions on issues of gender equality, this paper aims to study Islam’s point of view and clarify the mechanism by which Islam dealt with this subject, by differentiating between gender equality and establishing fairness between them.Methodology: This paper relies on the scientific methodology that is based on deduction, description, and analysis, by reviewing and analyzing the Quranic and prophetic texts and opinions of Muslim scholars. In general, it relied on identifying the physical and behavioral differences between the two sexes, which necessarily affect the difference in the functional role of each.Findings: Among the most prominent findings of this paper is that Islam established fairness between the two sexes in matters essential to worldly life, such as human dignity, obligations and penalties, and public rights, and that the differentiation between men and women in formation and abilities leads to a complementary relationship in performing tasks.Recommendations: One of the most prominent recommendations of this paper is the need for international treaties to take into account the different religious specificities of the peoples of the countries concerning the subject of this paper.
