“O you who believe, when you rise up for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and your feet up to the ankles. And if you are unclean, purify yourselves. And if you are sick or on a journey, or one of you has just relieved himself, or you have had contact with women, and you find not water, then go to clean high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it.” Quran 5:6
“Your women are a field for you, so go to your field as you will…” Quran 2:223
“Marry the women who seem good to you, two or three or four…” Quran 4:3
“Indeed, it is those who disbelieve in the hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.” Quran 53:27
“[Muhammad] said, ‘Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?’ They replied in the affirmative. He said, ‘This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'” Sahih Bukhari 6:301
“The Prophet said: ‘I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful.’ It was asked, ‘Do they disbelieve in Allah?’ (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, ‘They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them.'” Sahih Bukhari 2:28
