Asalamoalikum Muslims,

The discussion I am going to make is on the education of Muslim. Most people across the globe believe that education is only on men and not necessarily on women. In Holy Quran, by far the most important guidance is really not Haj, Salah, Zakat or anything, however the first instruction sent by Allah is "Iqra" (read).
It is stated nowhere from the above verses that even the education is not just for men but for both men and women. Hazrat Ayesha (R.A.) has been the most brilliant example people can reflect at about female education. She is known to be the greatest Muslim woman intellectual. She is regarded as having narrated more than two thousand hadiths and has been noted for having taught eminent scholars. She had such a strong love of knowledge and her intellect and powerful sense of reasoning was famous. Her existence also proves a woman can be a teacher, an encouragement and a dictator. Hazrat Ayesha 's example (R.A) is promoting education, and notably education for women.
Allah says in the Quran in Chapter An-Nahl, verse: 97
“Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do”.
So I believe women's education is equally important. What you all think about women education in Islam? Kindly drop your views.
JazakAllah.

What do you mean a dictator? Can't be a leader of a nation..


Is there statistical evidence that most people believe education is for men and not necessarily for women?
