Uislamu unafafanua kwa uwazi kabisa majukumu ya wanaume na wanawake maishani, na unatoa mwongozo wa kina kuhusu jinsi wanavyopaswa kushirikiana katika kila nyanja ya maisha. Maelezo na majukumu haya yanatokana na Allah (SWT), Muumbaji wa binadamu. Kwa sababu hiyo, yanaendana kikamilifu na maumbile ya binadamu, na katika Uislamu hakuna nafasi ya wanaume au wanawake kuachwa wadhulumiane au wabaguane.

Islam defines very clearly exactly what are the roles of men and women in life, and gives detailed guidance as to how they should interact with each other in every sphere of life. These definitions and roles come from Allah (swt) the Creator of human beings. As a result they perfectly accord with human nature and there is no scope in Islam for either men or women to be left to oppress or discriminate against each other.

Binadamu wanachukuliwa kuwa ni viumbe vinavyojumuisha watu, ambao wana silika zilezile, kama silika ya kuishi, silika ya kiroho na silika ya kuzaliana, pamoja na mahitaji ya kimwili kama haja ya kula, kulala, kupumua n.k. Wanashiriki hayo bila kujali jinsia zao. Hivyo basi, wanaume na wanawake wote ni viumbe vya Allah (SWT) na katika hili wako sawa kabisa kwa hadhi. Uislamu unaeleza kuwa kusudi la maisha kwa binadamu ni kumwabudu Allah (SWT) peke yake.
