The significance of education for women, in our view, is manifold. The awareness needs of modern life coupled with new trends and priorities have certainly brought about an all-encompassing progressive awakening towards women’s education. However, we derive our vision from the splendor of our history gilded by magnificent contri-butions women made to the advancement of society. Modern civilization is still far from what heights of excel-lence women achieved due to the blessings of Islamic teachings and values.
Women rose to prominence and played their most enviable and historical role in the fields of education, public and state affairs, administration, defense and politics. This galaxy gleams with the effulgence of the venerable mother of believers Aisha Siddiqa, and Asma bint Abu Bakr and Umm Abdullah ibn Zubair, Mamuna bint Ali, Fatima bint Abbas, Nafeesa bint al-Hasan, Umm Aiman Habashia, Salama bint Qais, Zainab bint Ali, Umm Kulsum, Umm Sulaim and thousands of their successors and followers (may Allah be well pleased with them). Many eminent ladies also held key positions in the departments of public affairs, state matters, judicial and politi-cal matters and administration. So today’s good woman can be proved a good mother, wife, and sister. Siddiqui Educational Complex is working for propagating the true Islamic teachings so that people can identify their rights and duties in the light of Qur’an and Hadith. Rest assured, if you share our vision, you have come to the right place. Hold fast to your ideal and work with firm resolve and zeal. You are, for sure, going to stamp your name in history tomorrow.
I pray Allah (SWT) bestows upon you His Mercy and Benevolence. Amen.
