Islam gives much importance and priority to women’s education. Hazrat Syeda Ayesha ( May Allah be pleased with her) was married to Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon him), and she gotthe full advantage of the company of Prophet Muhammad and acquired knowledge from him, and transferred to the Muslim Ummah. Even the great companions of the Prophet said that she possessed half of the knowledge of the Muslim ummah. Hazrat Ali, who was called the door of knowledge, his wife Syeda Fatima acquired knowledge both from her husband and her father Prophet Muhammad.
