Educating and educating women in the Islamic community
Abstract
In education and education, women acquire good habits and good deeds, after they learn patience, know the path of good, and ascertain the paths of peace. Where she has the faculties of the mind to reach through her the wisdom that leads her to the knowledge of the realities of things, "and whoever obtains wisdom will have a lot of good."
So a woman needs education, just as a man needs it, in order to know the path of goodness, to gain insight into her Sharia, and to know good marital cohabitation and raising children. As how can she be a happy wife, or a nanny or a good citizen, who works in any field of society, and she is illiterate and does not know how to read and write, and therefore she does not know the meaning of life and therefore (educating a woman is education for the whole family).
Before addressing the explanation of the upbringing and education of women in the Islamic society, which provides a quick overview of the stages of development of women's rights in the pre-Islamic and pre-Islamic eras, so that we can then evaluate what their education means, because the process of raising and educating women is part of the process of developing their value in general throughout its history.
It is worth noting that the history books did not clearly explain to us the clear role of women in education and their full participation by men, despite the recognition of Islamic law that the girl should be raised and educated alongside the boy. Because there is nothing that prevents them from going to the madrassahs when they are young, just as it is not stipulated in Shariah that what forbids their education in old age, as boys learn. Nevertheless, it is known that in the beginning of Islam there were a few numbers on the fingers of the hand of women who could read and write, then their number increased after that in the Umayyad and Abbasid eras after the development of historical circumstances, and the increase in society's need for educated women.
This modest research comes to add to the Arab library concepts regarding the right of women - in education - some of which are unclear and evident in the books of Islamic history, or are scattered in a number of its pages. This research also comes to be a catalyst and a call for women to learn to read and write and the necessity of their participation by men in the education process.
