Abstract
The main objective of this study is to analyse the engagement of Muslim women in the professional fields and the influencing factors. As this is a qualitative-based research, data was collected from both primary and secondary sources through in-depth interviews and review of literature, respectively. Findings show that Muslim women’s involvement in professional field has increased. However, their contribution in the field of nursing, engineering, law and other sectors are very low except teaching and development officers. Moreover, even though women’s participation is higher in medical field, their involvement in special fields is lacking. The research identified that there are several factors led to dearth of professional filed such as job satisfaction in teaching profession, lack of family support and family responsibilities, social recognition, cultural practices, Religious obligation and values and financial difficulties. In Future, researchers can expand this topic based on specific fields and several other geographical regions.
