She is Obedient to the Commands of Allah

The true Muslim woman does not forget that she is duty bound to perform all the religious duties that Allah (swt) has commanded her to do. In this regard her situation is the same as that of a man, and there is no difference between them except in a few regulations which apply exclusively to either men or women. Other than that, women and men are equally responsible before Allah (swt). Allah (swt) says:

(For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise; for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward.) Quran 33:35

(Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, and life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.) Quran 16:97

(And their Lord has accepted of them, and answered them: Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female: you are members, one of another; those who have left their home and were driven out therefrom, and suffered harm in My cause, and fought and were slain; verily, I will blot out from them their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath; a reward from the Presence of Allah, and from His Presence is the best of rewards.) Quran 3:195

Men and women are equal before Allah (swt), and both must pay heed to His commands and prohibitions. So the Muslim woman does what Allah (swt) has commanded and keeps away from what He has forbidden, believing that she will be questioned about what she did in this life: if they are good, it will be good for her, and if they are bad, then it will be bad for her. She does not transgress the limits laid down by Allah (swt), and does not do anything that is haram. She always seeks the ruling of Allah (swt) and His Messenger, and accepts it no matter what happens to her in her life. The true Muslim woman always bears in mind the words of Allah (swt):

(It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision: if anyone disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path.) Quran 33:36
