"AND WOMEN HAVE RIGHTS SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY OWE AS RECOGNIZED, THOUGH FOR MEN THERE IS A STEP ABOVE THEM. AND ALLAH IS MIGHTY, WISE." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 228)
Part 1
In the interpretation of this verse Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi RE has written that this verse does not mean that all men are better than all women, because in Allah's court the status of superiority is determined on the basis of Iman (faith) and virtuous deeds. The person whose Iman is stronger and who performs more good deeds is closer to Allah Ta'alah. So in the matters of Aakhirah (Hereafter) it is not necessary that men would have a superior station than women. It can happen, and according to certain Quranic verses and traditions will happen, that some women will earn a much higher status in the Hereafter than many men, by their obedience to Allah and their piety.
