THE ROLES OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION ON RESUSCITATION OF WOMEN'S STATUS IN THE MODERN SOCIETY.

The low percentage of female gender representation in the sensitive sectors such as intellectual endeavours and socio-political spheres is an aberration, the Neo- Jjahiliyyah practices have continued to create illusion on female rights recognized by Islam. Divine revelation (The Holy Qur'an) brought the liberation of women from the shackle of ignorance into limelight. It came with a reforming system on the entire humanity. Gender discrimination on the basis of vanity and ephemeral superiority is vehemently condemned in Qur'an. Islamic education sufficiently explains the elevated status of women in light of Qur'an and prophetic traditions. This paper therefore examines the roles of Islamic education on resuscitation of woman's status in the modern society. The humiliated standard of women before Islam was viewed and the total reformation on different aspects: i.e spiritual, social, intellectual and economic aspects of women life were considered as well.
