From Home Makers To Role Models – Education in a Muslim Girl’s Life

The concept of a female role model in a Muslim seems very farfetched given all the negativity that has been floating around in international media. But it is true that Muslim women contributed to society as much as their peers around the globe did.

Putting Women Back On the International Scene
 
Lately however women have been forced within the four walls of their homes. What many believe to be the effect of misinterpretation of the religious teaching of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), women have been sent away from educational institutions because a powerful faction of the Islamic society were of the view that women shouldn’t receive education. Thankfully all of that is all set to change and as Muslim parents recognize the importance of education in the lives of their daughters and also thanks to campaigns run by Muslim Girls School administrators – more people are sending their daughters to Muslim school for girls.

Change of Perspective – What’s Done & What Remains?
 
The need to portrait women worldwide as socially, politically and financially aware figures is very important for years of negative portrayal to be undone. Agreed, it’s a job that will take more than a smile and several years of perseverance but this is the only way of doing this. With the right effort soon enough successful Muslim women will become more than just bedtime stories and it has to start from a Muslim girl’s school.
