KEY WORDS: Muslim women, lifelong education, participation, Islam, feminization, society.

ABSTRACT:
Through the research data gathered in November 2018 in Eden Girls’ School of London, the role and position of women are presented in terms of time and circumstances in the Muslim community. It presents the profile of female education and its disadvantageous or advantageous position within the Islamic community and especially in education. It also presents its place in education with regard to men and consequently in the labor market and consequently in society. In this research we will try to look at the different and varied cases of the influence of Islamic law and traditions on the participation of women in education. We will see whether the principles of Islamic law are felt to be relevant and whether they affect negatively or positively the education and training of women as well as the relationship of Muslim women with lifelong learning around the world in Muslim and non-Muslim countries.
