35 : TEN ESSENTIALS FOR EDUCATION OF MUSLIM WOMEN

Islam makes imperative for the women to gain necessary knowledge. There is multitude of good reasons behind their compliance with this obligation.

(i) Women can stay out of sins as well as attract blessings by observing the 'fard' deeds.

(ii) They need to know vital rules helpful for performing obligatory deeds in general such as prayers, fasting, zakah etc.

(iii) They are also in dire need to for knowing the rules specific to their gender. For example, they need to know prayer exemption days allowed for menstruation, rules of modest clothing etc.

(iv) Education has power to enrich their morality and judgmental power.
(v) They need to have education necessary for doing a job that could supplement family income particularly when husband's income is not enough.

(vi) They should be educated in order to be in readiness for doing a job when that becomes an obligation such as in case of husband's death or unemployment.

(vii) Women's education can be a deterrent to potential abuses from husband. Educated wife will appear to her husband more like an asset than liability and will therefore be more loveable by him. Besides, education will make them less vulnerable as the husband will foresee his wife standing on her feet by means of a job in case of divorce or mistreatment.

(viii) An educated mother can be the best primary teacher for her children.

(ix) Education qualifies women to fill up much-needed positions like child educator, nurse, female or children's doctor etc.

(x) Education can give the talented women necessary skills to contribute to creative or innovative pursuits.
