Education for women

Question:

I would just like to congratulate you on this wonderful and enlightening site. I am only 21 years old, and I was always taught that you learn from your cradle to your grave. I thank my father for educating me. Do men realise that women are the beginning of a learning centre for children? If women are educated their children will be educated. A famous man once said :" Educate a man you educate a man; educate a woman you educate a NATION." Shukran for this wonderful site, and, insha Allah, may you inform the Ummah through this medium of using technology to teach. All the Best , Nuran (cape town south africa ).

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

We are grateful to you, and ask Allah to bless you and lead you to what He loves and what pleases Him. May Allah grant you the fruitful knowledge and accept your good deeds.

We urge you to continue learning useful knowledge for the sake of Allah and calling Muslims to the true Islam. No doubt that calling towards Allah and towards the good adherence to Islam is the best thing one can do.

You take the Mothers of Believers i.e., the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and as well as the wives of his companions as your ideal and example in this life. Indeed, those women have had a great and good impact on the Muslim Ummah.


Allah knows best.
