*Women in Islam:* The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) he said It is essential for every Muslim man and woman to acquire knowledge. The Quran says: Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily to him will We give a new life, a life that is good and pure, and We will bestow on such their rewards according to the best of their actions. (Al-Nahal:97). Islam treats of women in four dimensions: as mother, as daughter as wife and as separate human being, and gives them rights accordingly. During the era of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the Caliphate, Muslim women played an indispensable role in the construction of society. They took active part in opinion building and decision- making. They delivered religious discourses, ventured outside their homes for the pursuit of knowledge and carried on independent trade. They even participated in Wars. Muslim organisations should come forward and make efforts to improve the status of women. It is their duty to see that Muslim women are not deprived from proper education.
