Sayang amat prestasi pendidikan kaum perempuan yg pernah muncul dlm Islam praktis habis dikikis oleh para ulama, mullah dan imam2 fanatikun. Bayangkan di abad ke-21 laki2 Muslim banyak yg mendukung pikiran dungu melarang anak perempuan pergi ke sekolah. Ingat Malala ditembak karena dia berani menentang kedunguan Muslim di negaranya.
Saudi Arabia masih saja membatasi kebebasan perempuan. Maaf, dua bulan lalu ulama terbesar di Saudi mengeluarkan fatwa mengijinkan perempuan NAIK SEPEDA! Bayangkan baru bulan lalu mereka memberi ijin kpd perempuan untuk bisa naik sepeda. Mereka masih tidak boleh mengendarai mobil. DiAceh perempuanmembonceng sepeda motor harus duduk miring. Pasti alasannya karena MUI di sana mikirin selangkang perempuan yg tergesek tempat duduk (pillion seat). Ada berbagai pemerintah kabupaten di Indonesia yg menganjurkan agar siswi mengikuti virginity test sebelum boleh masuk SMP. Pemuka agama Islam dari abad ke-7 selalu menghina perempuan, menganggapperempuan sekedar awrah untuk dipergunakan oleh laki2. Ini tentunya akibat ajaran Nabi islam dan teladan hidupnya. Sunggu imoral dan memalukan.

Women were not seen as incapable of attaining knowledge nor of being able to teach others themselves. The precedent for this was set with Prophet Muhammad’s own wife, Aisha, who was one of the leading scholars of her time and was known as a teacher of many people in Madinah after the Prophet’s ﷺ death. Later Islamic history also shows the influence of women. Women throughout the Muslim world were able to attend lectures in mosques, attend madrasas, and in many cases were teachers themselves. For example, the 12th century scholar Ibn ‘Asakir (most famous for his book on the history of Damascus, Tarikh Dimashq) traveled extensively in the search for knowledge and studied under 80 different female teachers. Women also played a major role as supporters of education: The University of al-Karaouine in Fes, Morocco was founded by Fatima al-Fihri in 859 * The first formal madrasa of the Muslim world, the University of al-Karaouine in Fes was established in 859 by a wealthy merchant by the name of Fatima al-Fihri. * The Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid’s wife, Zubayda, personally funded many construction projects for mosques, roads, and wells in the Hijaz, which greatly benefit the many students that traveled through these areas. * The wife of Ottoman Sultan Suleyman, Hurrem Sultan, endowned numerous madrasas, in addition to other charitable works such as hospitals, public baths, and soup kitchens. * During the Ayyubid period of Damascus (1174 to 1260) 26 religious endownments (including madrasas, mosques, and religious monuments) were built by women. Unlike Europe during the Middle Ages (and even up until the 1800s and 1900s), women played a major role in Islamic education in the past 1400 years. Rather than being seen as second-class citizens, women played an active role in public life, particularly in the field of education. Modern History The tradition of madrasas and other classical forms of Islamic education continues until today, although in a much more diminshed form. The defining factor for this was the encroachment of European powers on Muslim lands throughout the 1800s. In the Ottoman Empire, for example, French secularist advisors to the sultans advocated a complete reform of the educational system to remove religion from the curriculum and only teach secular sciences. Public schools thus began to teach a European curriculum based on European books in place of the traditional fields of knowledge that had been taught for hundreds of years. Although Islamic madrasas continued to exist, without government support they lost much of their relevance in the modern Muslim world. Today, much of the former Ottoman Empire still runs education along European lines. For example, what you are allowed to major in at the university level depends on how you do on a certain standardized test at the end of your high school career. If you obtain the highest possible grades on the test, you can study sciences such as medicine or engineering. If one scores on the lower end of the spectrum, they are only allowed to study topics such as Islamic sciences and education. Despite the new systems in place in much of the Muslim world, traditional education still survives. Universities such as al-Azhar, al-Karaouine, and Darul Uloom in Deoband, India continue to offer traditional curricula that bring together Islamic and secular sciences. Such an intellectual tradition rooted in the great institutions of the past that produced some of the greatest scholars of Islamic history and continues to spread the message and knowledge of Islam to the masses. http://lostislamichistory.com/education/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
