en are thought of as being lower in intellect and spirituals in comparison to men. In the Quran it states, "And of His signs is that He created for you, of yourselves, spouses, that you may repose in them."(Q 30"21) This causes many Muslims to look at women as creations like the animals and plants and other useful things created by Allah. Muslims believe that women are lacking many of the traits that men possess. The believe that women are lacking gratitude as well as intelligence. The Hadith speaks of this subject saying, "Women are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favours and the good (charitable) deeds done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, `I have never received and good from you."

For this defeats the woman's biggest evil her sexuality. It is believed that a woman's way to paradise is through her husband. All the man's needs must be met before anything else may be completed. If a woman is cooking and her husband desires sexual pleasures it is better to let the food burn than to deny her husband. This is true because if the husband is not satisfied then he be cannot at peace to pray to Allah therefore the woman is in bad favor with Allah and all the angels until she satisfies her husband again.
