Abstract

Islam is one of the religions which acknowledges and secure all of the fundamental rights of women including education. According to Islam, education is important and compulsory for both male and female. The aim of this study is to identify the challenges that face married Muslim women at their higher education. The research is descriptive in nature following qualitative approach to collect data with the semi-structured interview. However, support for the education of married women depends upon family attitude, educational status, financial stability and husband viewpoint. Furthermore, commitments of multiple roles and lower level of self-confidence of women are most significant challenges of their education. Especially in Sri Lanka, the traditional families think that higher education of women will affect the morals, confine freedom and make problem in their matrimonial life. It is suggested that researches and seminars are essential to be structured to change the perception of the Muslim society about women’s education in Sri Lanka. The result will be a fact finding to suggest to the policy makers in Sri Lanka on how to tackle the challenges facing married women in their higher education.

Abstract

In today's globalized world, when different religious communities meet and overlap more frequently than ever before, the idea of religious cohabitation is of utmost importance. One of the most significant faiths in the world, Islam, offers a complex viewpoint on religious harmony that is based on its guiding ideals and past examples. This essay examines the complex facets of religious coexistence in Islam, diving into verses from the Quran, prophetic traditions (Hadith), and historical instances that shed light on the religion's perspective on coexisting peacefully with followers of other faiths. The analysis shows that Islam encourages a perspective on cohabitation based on the rights to one's beliefs, tolerance, and acceptance of differences between individuals, as well as social justice, humanitarianism, and brotherhood. Ultimately, a thorough comprehension of the idea of religious tolerance in Islam helps to promote tranquil, accepting societies where people of many faiths can cohabit. The teachings and ideas from Islam's approach to religious cooperation remain relevant for creating a more peaceful global community as civilizations become diverse and interconnected.
