Abstract
Knowledge is light while ignorance is darkness. Allah (SWT) bestowed human being knowledge with the help of pen. It is a routine that people learn through the pen but Allah (SWT) has bestowed upon his chosen personalities as the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) without pen which are miracles in human history. According to Mr Amir Ali "The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was an unlettered philosopher". Knowledge plays a significant role for the whole mankind. Without the light of knowledge the human beings will be uncivilized. Allah (SWT) Provided human being with the opportunities of seeking knowledge without any discrimination whether it be male or female gender. This message has been delivered by the Holy Prophets as well as their disciples. The way of getting knowledge is called education. In the following discussion the significance of education has been illuminated. The female education is also important because if a lady is educated, the whole family will be educated. This article discusses the significance of female education in the perspective of Islam and modern education.
