What does the Quran say about Women's creation and purpose?

From a tiny drop that becomes an embryo, the girl-child is born to be
an honored part of God's plan.God states in the Muslim holy book, the
Qur'an:
"O humankind! Be conscious of your Lord Who created you from a single
soul, and out of it created its mate, and out of the two spread
countless men and women.Be conscious of your Lord through Whom you
demand your mutual rights and honor the wombs; God always watches over
you." (Qur'an 4:1)
According to the Qur'an, there was a Garden of Eden. There was a
forbidden tree, but no apple, no snake, and certainly no fault on Eve
alone. Both Adam and Eve sinned at the same time. They felt shame,
repented, and were forgiven together. God provided them with guidance,
showing them a way back to Him.
"Each soul earns on its ownaccount: and no bearer of burden shall bear
the burden of another." (Qur'an6:164)
"If any do deeds of righteousness, whether male or female, and have
faith, they will enter Paradise and not the least injustice will be
done to them." (Qur'an 4:124)
The sole purpose and existence of both men and women is to worship God
through faith and good deeds, fulfilling their role as God's honorable
trusteesand witnesses on this earth.
