Education in Islamic society

Islam promotes education to all Muslims and
especially to Muslim women. Let us refer to a
Quran Verse and 2 very important Hadeeths related
to education of Muslim men and women.
"Read in the name of your Lord who created,
created man from a clinging form. Read! Your Lord
is the Most Generous, who taught by means of the
pen; taught man what he did not know." (96:1-5)
" Narrated by Anas ibn Malik
Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘The seeking of
knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim.’
(Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 218)
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari: The Prophet said,
"He who has a slave-girl and teaches her good
manners and improves her EDUCATION and then
manumits and marries her, will get a double
reward; and any slave who observes Allah's right
and his master's right will get a double reward."
(Sahih Bukhari, Book #46, Hadith #723)
Aishah Binte Abu Bakr, the youngest wife of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), was very talented and
possessed an incredible memory. As a Muslim
scholar, she is credited with narrating more than
two thousand Hadith and was noted for teaching
eminent scholars. She had a great love for learning
and became known for her intelligence and sharp
sense of judgment. Her life also substantiates that
a woman can be a scholar, exert influence over
men and women and provide them with inspiration
and leadership. The example of Aishah in
promoting education, particularly education of
women in the laws and teachings of Islam, is a
hallmark in female education in Islam. Because of
the strength of her personality, she was a leader in
every field of knowledge, in society and in politics.
Jazak Allah Khair.
