Abstract

Women, who make up half of the society, have an undeniable effect on the development and transformation of nations. The illiteracy of this great human group will cause irreparable damages to the society and will cause the country to fall behind the caravan of modern civilized societies. Because educated mothers have an indisputable effectiveness and efficiency in the proper education of the future generations and will result in improved general level of literacy in the society. In Islam, there is no Sharia barrier for women's education and many religious texts have emphasized the necessity of women's education. The history of Islamic culture has recorded many eminent women who have played an important role in promoting Islamic culture. Since the mission of professors of educational institutions requires them to reflect the objective issues of society in their scientific works, therefore, in this article, an attempt has been made to examine the necessity of women's education, solutions to improve it, and the consequences of banning women from education.
