Co Education; In Islam

Being an Islamic state, Pakistan had to prepare that type of educational policy since independence which hold complete Islamic normal  because the people of Indo-pak subcontinent demanded Pakistan or a separate state only for the sake of Islam that they could laid their lives according to the principles and values of Islam.



Being an Islamic state, Pakistan had to prepare that type of educational policy since independence which hold complete Islamic normal  because the people of Indo-pak subcontinent demanded Pakistan or a separate state only for the sake of Islam that they could laid their lives according to the principles and values of Islam. The people who did struggle and gave sacrifices by their wealth as well as by their lives, they got unity only by the strength of religion. So it was expected that social and educational system of Pakistan should be 
according to Islamic way of life.

Co-education means the education of boys and girls in same school, colleges or universities. This is a modern concept and has brought remarkable change in the societies. It was first introduces in Switzerland, but now it has become popular almost in all western and Asian countries.
First of all the main point is that “co-education is not an issue that has specifically been addressed by the Shari`ah LIMITATIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN INTERACTION: “There is a well-known principle in Islamic law, which may be rendered in translation as

"Blocking the means (of evils)."


Every coin has two sides, and my eye approaches to both of those silvery shiny sides, the positivity of coeducation is that a person learns how to interact and deal with other people and he/she develops her interpersonal skills which becomes a strong stick to an old man when he/she enters the professional life because in that period of your life it is not necessary that you are only going to deal with girls if you are a girl or boys if you are a boy.... The time shows every mirror so it’s better to be trained from earlier clocks!!

My personal argument is against co-education and I say that in co-education environments students have more opportunity and temptations to go astray. They cannot maintain the right etiquette of intermingling as prescribed by the Islamic Shari‘ah, at all times during school hours Co-education is male and female persons in a learning environment (school) together as opposed to gender segregated education.

The negative aspect of co education is engaging in some non required activities like mostly in coeducation girls and boys are found hanging around those cafes and pubs bunking the classes and this all stinks..... Girls and boys are temperamentally different from each other. They have different duties to perform. A girl is required to receive education which can make her a good wife and a good mother. While a boy is required to receive education which can make him a good husband or a good father. A Uniform education cannot help them be expert in their respective fields. Thus the very idea of co-education is wrong. Then co-education is against our traditions. It will develop immoral relations between boys and girls, people in co-Ed schools spent more time in becoming popular with the opposite sex rather than concentrating on their studies.
So in this way the Pakistan the Islamic republic state cannot afford the co education system which hinders their Islamic values and morals.
