Abstract:

Women are being abused and humiliated the most in history.. Since Ancient Greek thought, it was generally understood that woman is a creature that inferior, worthless, and a disgrace in many societies. Women in the period before Islam, it is treated like a normal shop, it was bought and sold. It seems that this situation also continued through the Arabian society in which the Prophet Muhammad lived. When we consider the position of woman in society it is an indication of woman’s value and we must determine the general position of woman in society in order to show how Islam cherishes woman. Education appears to be one of these fields. How woman played a role in the field of training and education in the time of Prophet Muhammad is mentioned as a main topic in this study. The underlying attitude and viewpoint of Islam regarding woman is presented by examples from verses, hadiths, and application of Prophet Muhammad. Islam has started to build a new world sense that presents woman as valued humans. Reflection of this sense is seen in the education field.  The period of the Prophet, women found its place in all areas of society, espeically in education and training field began to take place. No distinction was made with regard to training and education between women and men and it’s benefit. The Prophet allocated special areas for women's education at the same time on special occasions he would give them undivided attention. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), appointed educated women in various places and gave them social roles.
