Education for women

[Nabal12]

Re: Do women need education?

Well without question we know that all women are considered just as smart and equal to men. So even without this thread, we know this. And I'm sure we all agree that the female race is considered the more intelligent one. (No offense)

I for one am glad that the Islamic community is enlightened enough to be able to ask such tough questions as "Do women need education" and also to be able to debate about it. I am learning a lot here.

Greetings and Assalaamu Alaykum,

Well Allah has made Women equal to men(except in some points)...so I don't know why it wouldn't be allowed for women to educate themselves!

I believe the question posed by this thread is one which asks whether it is compulsory for women to have education rather than the benefits it brings.

Islam does not deny women the opportunity to study, but at the same time it lays down guidelines for how to fulfil the role both men and women play in society to the best of their ability.

Peace.

:heated: Can sum1 tell me what was the point in creating this thread?

If it was a freshy then i can understand ;D

Hey no need to diss my thread here.. I was asking a serious question..

Barak Allâhu fikum for all your replies..

Well.. To search for knowledge about Islâm, of course that is fardh for everyone.. I knew that.. But, the question was, is it fardh to get an education Like, when I tell some sisters I don't want to work, I wanna be a housewife and I don't wanna go to college or university.. They tell me it's fardh to go to college or university, because an education is fardh..
Why is it fardh if I rather want to stay at home, and gain knowledge about Islâm at home..

No, you're right.

It should be 'Do' in the thread title, not 'does'.

Edit: RESULT!

And I'm really sorry if I'm not good at explaining what I mean and if I made a mistake in the title, but I'm not even english, I don't live in an english speaking country, I don't speak english everyday.. :rant: kay: :mmokay:

Re: Do women need education?

the prophet mohammed sallahu alhee wa salm gave women the right to learn work praticpate in politics and economcs the right to inherit the right to own
the propeht sallahu alhee wa salm said taht it is obligatory for every muslim man and women to obtain education...

imagine the muslim ummah did not have educated ppl where would b
the muslim ummah needs to have educated men and women
so that it may prosper...

regardign wat IF THEY DO NOT OBTAIN an education will taht b rong ?
well if they had teh $ and time and didnt then i think yes they may b asked bt this...

if a man or women could not find time or $ then it is not their fault and ...

Re: Do women need education?



im gonna restate what Suhaib Webb says in his "Mothers of the Believers" audio lecture set. Basically if you're incapacitating women, in whatever way, then you are essentially incapacitating (keeping behind) half of the ummah.

The reality is that women are mothers and mothers teach their children, religion, manners and education.

If you have a mother who is uneducated how much of an advantage will her children have? even the male children. Aisha (radhiallahu anha) was the expert not only in fiqh, hadith, etc. but also in medicine, mathematics etc. (quoting again from the mothers of the believers set) so essentially she was also a very well educated woman..

The key, I think, is that this education should not be taking away from her duties at home....the duty of a woman to her children is fard 'ayn (a personaly obligation) whereas the running of a community (i.e. working outside etc) is fard kifaya (community's duty...) so the mother will be asked about her children first, if she neglected them in favour of outside work then it is up to Allah swt to judge her. HOwever this is not to say that once she has taken care of these responsibilities she cannot take up others....know what I mean?

main pt- women need an education, but dont use it to ignore your family obligations

Re: Do women need education?


I think the title should be edited. By saying "do women need education" implies that women are a different species to men - those of you who have been in/or still in school will know that they aren't. Unless of course you are a freak, in which case the freakshow is that way --->.

Men and Women are equal. Guys have somethin that woman won't ever have and women have somethin that guys won't ever have. (replace "won't" with "shouldn't" as neccessary )

If it was my daughter, hypothetically speaking, I'd be like: "girly, go to school". No problems, she grows up to be even more intelligent than me and wife put together inshallah and she gets far in life. Booyah.

Re: Do women need education?

I think the only ppl who object to women being educated are those who have small brain and are very narrow minded.
ppl need to understand is well that if the mother is uneducated and it's most likely this will effect the child in many ways.
Do dua that these ppl open their eys and see the truth.
