Female Education

Introduction: education is a light to which everybody has the equal right. Allah has created both man and woman equally and has not drawn any distinct distinction between them. He has bestowed them with equal faculties. So there should be no difference of opining regarding imparting education to women. So education should be universal.

Reason for education women: A good mother can produce a good citizen. In order to have good citizens, female education is a must. Female education is not a new thing in our country. Islam has encouraged education and training to women folk. The prophet of Islam has made education compulsory for both man and woman. Once Napoleon said, “Give me a good mother and I will give you a good citizen”. ‘A good mother’ obviously means an educated mother. So it needs no telling the importance of female education.

Women are now a days as important as men in society. They constitute nearly half of our total population. So there can be no denying the fact that they too possess equal rights and duties as men do. They have noble missions to fulfill as men. If they get opportunity, their genius, powers and capacities will bloom fully. No nation can make real progress keeping a full half of its population in the dark. Without the uplift of women, the progress of the nation is not at all possible. Again without education women can not be elevated. So an all out education should be imparted to the women folk so that they may come forward and work hand in hand with men in all development programmers.

Mother’s women play an important part in molding the character of their children. There is a saying in English that the hands that rock the cradle rule the world. So every woman is a potential mother. The future of a child depends on how it is brought up and educated in childhood. Naturally an educated mother is expected to bring up and educate her children better than an uneducated mother.

A mother exercises an undeniable influence in the formation of children’s character and in shaping their future destiny. Lives of many great men of the world show that their greatness was due to their mother’s influence. The things that they learn at home take a firm root in them. And it goes without saying that this learning they get mostly from their mother as they live under her direct supervision and constant care. If a mother fails to bring up her children properly, the mother is held responsible for this failure, not the child. This failure may lead her children in the wrong path which will ultimately ruin the latent talents of the children. If all the children become great, all the credit goes to the mothers. So it can be said that it is a mother who plays a vital role in forming the character and deciding the future of her children. From this point of view an educated mother is an asset and it is more necessary to educate women folk.
