 *Name Ur Child Aisha*

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In our previous episode, we have discussed few qualities of Nana Aʾishah. We also pointed out that she contributed to the spread of Prophet’s message and served the Muslim community for 44 years after the death of Messenger of Allah (PBUH).. She is also known for narrating 2,210 hadiths, not just on matters related to Muhammad's private life, but also on topics such as inheritance, pilgrimage, and eschatology. Yes. Her intellect and knowledge in various subjects, including poetry and medicine, were highly praised by early luminaries such as al-Zuhri and her student Urwa ibn al-Zubayr.

This mean that knowledge seeking is not only for men but for women, especially in the era we find ourselves. Infact, emphasis should be given to female education much more than education of male children.

Angel Jibreel  appeared to Prophet and said:  - ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ - Recite in the name of your Lord who created 📚Al-'Alaq 96:1.... Here, we are instructed to read anything & everything in the name of Allah - meaning, our aim of acquiring every knowledge should be to please Allah (swt) by benefiting Muslims ummah & the religion of Islam.

So,

Knowledge here include: Chemistry, History, Computer science, Biology, Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, Arabic language, to mention but few.

My People!

Knowledge is compulsory. Yes. Let us reflect upon the hadith of Rasulullah (PBUH) where he mentioned:

طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ

"Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim (and Muslimah)" 📚Sunan Ibn Majah

From this hadith, we can conclude that seeking knowledge is compulsory for every Muslim. This include female children.

My People!

Is it a crime to sponsor the education of your female children when they are in their husband's house? Did you take sponsoring your female children education after giving them out for marriage a waste of resources?

It's not advisable to delay giving out your female children on marriage (if the children are ready & want to marry), especially if keeping them until they finished their degrees will pose alot of fitnah or immoral challenges. Also, it is not a crime to sponsor the education of your female children when they are in their husband's house. Yes. Let her husband concentrate on feeding her while you pay the bills for her to finish her university education (if her husband is not yet buyant to shoulder all her responsibilities). At least you have saved your daughter & the innocent guy from committing zina. Yes. Marriage todoes not prevent achieving educational goals.

Today,

We are in desperate need of MORE female doctors and nurses, so that, Muslims can agitate for laws that will allow our wives to be handled by women doctors and nurses in the hospitals. But when we *(as parents & Muslims)* have failed in our responsibilities of investing on our female children education, we will be left with no option than to fold our arms looking at a foreign men (in most cases, christian men) to be fingering our women under the umbrella of treatment and surgical operations.

It's high time that Muslims wake up to their responsibility of educating their female children even if they are giving out in marriage early.

My People!

What is necessary is for us to prioritise and learn our religion and that which comprises our dunya. Also, not everyone is given the same capacity or opportunities to learn religious knowledge and western knowledge together.. However, it is better to put effort to seek that which will benefit us in anyway.
