Today, it has become clear to the whole world that the number of Muslim women is the highest in educational backwardness, while more than 500 verses in the Holy Quran are related to education, in which the importance and usefulness of education have been clarified in clear words. Then what are the reasons that Muslim women are not awakening towards education.
The equal rights of women have been given in every religion but non-implementation is a cause of concern. In the religion of Islam, there are strict instructions regarding the rights of women and there are many hadiths to make them educated. Despite all this, Muslim women are the most marginalized in the field of education today. While educating a man makes him a hero, when a woman is educated, she makes two families educated. Today there is a need to make their education a mission so that they can form a better society by being educated.
At the global and national level, the twentieth century was a very important century in many respects. Where significant changes took place in the world's history and geography, society and culture, science and literature, there was also awareness about the better position and status of women in the society. There was a lot of awakening and as a result of various initiatives, the centuries-long low status of women improved to some extent. When they got the opportunities, their existence, lost and distorted in the historical periods, as an educated, conscious and empowered individual began to show their contributions and abilities in different fields of life.

In the context of the changing status of women, it is important to know that
What is the position of Indian Muslim women today?
What kind of problems are faced by Muslim women in India?
Are Indian Muslim women able to face contemporary challenges and join the mainstream of development?
Internationally, if women are assessed, two-thirds of the world's work is carried out by women.

If the education of women is evaluated, the education of women is very less compared to men. 2001 census. According to the census, the education rate in India is 64.8%, of which 75.3% is male and 53.7% is female. There is a gender disparity in literacy rates across all provinces in India.
India is a developing country. This country has a special historical, political, social, religious and cultural identity. The total population of this country consists of people of different religions, languages and cultures. About fourteen percent of the country's population consists of Muslims. The Muslim nation has the status of the largest minority in this country. According to the Constitution of India, Muslims also have the same equal opportunities and rights for development as Indian citizens as the other classes of this country have. .

They are facing many challenges at educational, social, economic, cultural and political levels. Compared to the overall situation of Muslims, the situation of women is even worse and backward. Muslim women are far from the target of development. Although various measures were taken for the education and development of girls and women after the independence of the country Their effects could not be set on the women of all sections of the country, especially the Muslim women were far behind in the field of education and development.
Since Muslim women are affected by numerous family problems and domestic violence, it is necessary for them to become aware of their Shariah and constitutional rights as a conscious individual. There is also a strong need for women to have access to the government facilities and resources available for education, development and empowerment and they can use them.

Instead of holding the government or religious and social organizations responsible, more and more men and women of Muslim society should now come into action and adopt various measures so that Muslim women Educational, social, economic and health condition can be improved and their distorted image in Indian society can be improved. To enable them to exercise their Shari'a, constitutional and legal rights, to live a dignified life in India as educated, skilled, capable, conscious and empowered social persons and to meet changing demands and new demands. Be able to face challenges.
