Title

If women are a treasure for men, isn't there anything for a woman to treasure?

Question

If there's no difference between the relationship between Allah swt and men and His relationship to women, why is the woman's role completely to be subservient to her husband? I can understand if that were her test in this life, but even if she can possibly get to Jannah, her husband will still be chasing other women? If women are a treasure for men, isn't there anything for a woman to treasure?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

The answer is simple: it is an issue of Jannah. The principle there is your wish will be fulfilled. If a woman wants something to treasure, her wish will be fulfilled as is the case with men.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
