 Muslim Women 

Muslim women have come a long way; from not being allowed to work outside of being housewives all the way to becoming top achievers. There have and still are many misconceptions about Muslim women, such as that they need to be covered, they are not well-respected, or that they belong in the kitchen. Besides being a Muslim woman and that challenges that come with it, many of them had big parts in science and technology evolvements. These are the women who stepped up in their home countries, who have strict laws in general and became something of themselves.

 Islam and Science 

Thousands of years ago, Muslims had a huge part with the advancement of science Almost the majority of misconceptions were all just misconceptions. Islam encourages that men and women are equal. The Islamic Holy Book, The Quran, instructs that Muslims should not just educate their sons, but as well at their daughters. Islamic history also involves very important women political leaders, who were all known for what they did. However, this does mean that Muslim countries did not restrict women from advancing in their studies. Many Muslim countries were, and still are big on gender-based discrimination, because they believe it is a part of Islam, which is completely false. Proof of this could be the 750 verses from the Quran which state, "the quest for knowledge and science is obligatory upon every Muslim man and woman".
