Islam and women education

One of the most controversial subject which Islams opponent propound is the women education in Islam, and they claim we have an essential rule in islam which says Moslem woman should stay at home, even for praying they shouldn’t go out and its better to pray at home.
If they shouldn’t go out then there is no need to learn knowledge and go to school or university, also staying at home doesn’t need any knowledge and any thing to be learned.
Because they can send there children to some special institute to be trained and grown up, also there husband can cook or bring every thing for them.
If so the woman doesn’t have any role in the home and society except that they should serve there husband all the time and try to satisfy them.
While in modern societies women do every thing in both inside home and out side and they are as same as man in all positions and jobs hence there countries are developed and power full in all areas.
Women are half of the population, if they don’t work it means that the incomes are very low also the rate of poverty is very much high and the condition of life is the worst
Finally we can conclude that Islamic countries do never progress or become developed.
What is the Moslems answer and there solution to these problem do they accept this point of view or not if not what they may say?

Is Islam against women education?

Firstly we should say that the rule that opponent support their self with and based there argument on it is not acceptable and not an Islamic law or rule.
We have a lots of verses in holy Qoran and many traditions that says learned is not equal with ignorant, and many others encourage the Moslems to learn knowledge even in the hardest and the worst condition.
There is no differences between male and female both of them are Moslem and the traditions include them similarly.
Ruther learning knowledge is an obligation in Islam there is a very fames tradition from holy prophet which tell all Moslems that they have to learn knowledge from the cradle to the grave.

Secondly islam does never say Moslem women are not allowed to go out of home absolutely and unconditionally, they can go out by there husbands permission and if the situation or condition is suitable and secure, there husband definitely permit them.
It is because of their safety and being hale that the man and women shouldn’t go some where.
So we should make a secure society and city then our daughters and whiffs can go to the university,offices,banks and else where.
Making a secure places for women is our duty it means that Moslem first should make a suitable society and situation by training the people according to Islamic laws and orders.
Then their daughters and whiffs can do every thing out of home. They can do their jobs and study and …
Finally we can conclude that Islam is not against womens education and learning knowledge. It depend on situation and condition which Islam says.
