“LO! MEN who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah and women who remember – Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.” (Qur’an 33:35)

“And whoever does good works, whether male or female, and he (or she) is a believer, such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged the dint in a date-stone.” (Qur’an 4:124)

“Whoever does right, whether male or female, and is a believer, him – verily We shall quicken with good life, and We shall pay them a recompense according to the best of what they do.” (16:97 Qur’an)
