Inshaallah later this year (before October) I will apply for a course to study at University. I am hoping to do something within the scientifc field. My heart is pretty much set on Dentistry- my second option (original plan was medicine)-as I don't think I have the bravery/heart to do what doctor's do. I was wondering is their any careers out there in which there is a demand for muslims females.

sister, it looks like you are hoping to be beneficial for Muslim sisters. I don't know what to list but will repeat another brother's advice on making sure your heart is in it since no matter what you choose, it will take a lot of effort both during the years you study and after. In terms of 'helpful' professions within science where you would provide care/attention to sisters - nursing, dentistry, general medicine, podiatry, ophthalmology, optometry, otolaryngology, physiotherapy, chiropractic, naturopathy are ones that come to mind.

sister if your intention is to aid the muslims, please consider engineering. Its the future and the ummah needs engineering more than anything else in terms of "secular" studies (for want of a better term)

may Allah guide you to the best choices and make you an instrument of benefit to the ummah and make it an instrument of benefitting you in the hereafter. Ameen

whatever you decide, work hard inshAllah. Muslims are terrible students at university and we really need to work hard to improve our situation inshAllah. Whoever is reading this,please work really hard in yoru studies inshAllah and aim for firsts in every one of your modules and work hard in your careers inshAllah and have the intention to benefit the ummah with your wealth, skills etc

Inshallah this is my aim to be of some benefit to the muslim Ummah.

Sadly engineering is not a possiblity, my A-level subjects are english, biology and chemistry
and have no interest in physics related subjects, main reason being: i'm terrible at this type of work...

what are your skills?

I dont think cavities are the ummahs central problem lol (joking) but if you do pursue this line of work, financial support will be your best contribution inshAllah so stay in a kafir country and divert all your funds to muslim projects. Try to send money to your home country to boost the economy and put money into development projects, also funding mosques, dawah projects etc, disaster relief. I think this is your best recourse if you go for dentistry inshAllah.

Try not to spend anything on money/time wasting things like televisions and try to fund the ummah as much as you can inshAllah and dont forget that even those muslims who become professionals need to seek knowledge and work on their deen inshAllah, we dont need clean shaven engineers and non hijabbed nurses.

May Allah keep this intention in your heart. I believe if we all have this intention, inshAllah we can bring the ummah to izza again inshAllah. Im doing an engineering degree now and think the possibilities in working for the ummah are endless inshAllah as long as im protected from falling victim to the dunya. I hope to fund some farming projects in somalia inshAllah to build an economy there and supply of food for them, using money i earn from the west, and also hope to work in muslim countries like saudi and turkey etc on engineering projects to development the muslim lands inshAlah so hopefully that will give you an idea of the kind of ways you can benefit the ummah.

Remember to work hard on your degree, too many muslims are drop outs. a degree on its own is worthless, you need to be serious about your career inshAllah

The important thing is to pick a useful field, but which you are also good at. No use in doing engineering if you're bad at math. You said your subjects are English, Bio and Chem. You could consider chemistry, including organic chemistry and possibly pharmacology and/or pharmacy. Nothing wrong with dentistry, either. We need Muslim women dentists to treat Muslim women.

Also, whatever course you choose, make sure you do at least a couple of internships before you graduate so that you have practical experience. That is indispensable when it comes to moving on to graduate studies and a job.

Any career a female can do is relevant to muslim women since they are female too.

With your subjects you could easily do environmental based courses, or get a career in town planning. The possibilities are many and as always depends what you're interested in.

this is very good advice. Register with the professional bodies, read journals, look for work experience, be as active as you can in your career inshAllah whatever you choose. Also agree on the muslim women needing dental treatment part, its agood service if you open a practice in a muslim area inshAllah and give the sisters an opportunity of good oral hygene without ghayr muharrams or non muslims treating them

regarding engineering, I agree that if someone is unable to do it they shoudlnt take it up but i do think it shoudl be emphasised as a career choice for the young ummah inshAllah because its engineering that will build our nation up into a powerful nation inshAllah with our own technologies, economies, industries etc

I def agree with you about engineering, since that is definitely the route to developing infrastructure, tech, weaponry, etc. without being dependent on kuffar. I would have loved to do physics/engineering but my brain just isn't wired for it. I'm just not good enough at math. Maybe if I had had better instruction in it during my youth- alas, nothing to be done now.

Chemical engineering, food science, pharma, biotech is important for the ummah as well; we need people who can develop these kinds of products without the use of haram ingredients/procedures.

Shalom Aleikhem,

Inshallah, you will succeed. I pray that God grants you access to knowledge and permits you to excel in your field of study. No matter what you do, fear Allah and know that one day we will have to answer to Him. So, pursue your career without breaking His rules. I pray that you succeed.

i agree. do ur arabic and qur'an and dawah and islamic activities along side your studies and inshAllah you will double benefit the ummah. The shariah program is a great start inshAllah. Thats what im doing also inshAllah, make dua for my deen and secular studies inshAllah.

inshAllah our efforts will benefit the ummah and help improve our situation

committed young muslims with a plan and a serious amount of love for Allah and his messenger is all thats needed inshallah to rapidly change things inshallah

your maths doesnt have to be that strong by the way. im learning the maths needed now. you need to be interested in what yoru doing and get rid of your tv and dont waste any time. combine your interest with a lot of time studying from the offset of your studies and inshallah you will be a great asset to the ummah. too many muslim students dont put a lot fo effort in unfortunately

A few advice for students at univeristy
1. learn deen at the feet of Shaikh of Scholar of repute (do not have to be a visiting scholar to University or someone famous because TV).
2. Connect yourself to shaikh of tassawuf and dawah.
3. Help out with Islamic society (though most of them are bunch of overzealot individual), find good muslim friends
4. Befirend non muslim in a wise manner
5. Focus on your study (knowing you are at uni primarily to get educated, the rest are secondary)
6. Tell your parents to look for a pious husbend who will allow you space and not be tied to kitchen after graduating.
7. Be constant in your dua and relegious duty.

I think, any Muslim man or woman willing to go for higher education should contact a reliable Mufti . Because, many colleges and universities do not teach in an Islamically approved manner. Many of these educational insititutes are co-educational and no pardah are maintained.
However, under some special conditions , boys are allowed to attend those co-educational universities. But, for a female student , the conditions
are very very strict. So, every student should contact a good Mufti and know the conditions . Otherwise, a door of big fitnah will open.

This website below is a reliable one . Some relevant questions and ansers you find in the links below.

Second that, also how does the sister in question is going to fulfill the mahram requirement for "travel" and The fees for study has gone upto £9,000 per year, best not to fund this with student loan as that is haram money. isn't it going to be a big burden on the family, also careers like engineering seem to have a lot of males, would the future husband be happy with that.

One of the responders said she need to find a husband who gives her space. What does that mean? that's not very islamic. A woman's place in islam is in the home UNLESS she is needed with regards to women's needs which men aren't allowed to carry out e.g. doctors, nurses etc...

we shouldn't try to imitate the kuffar. Especially the muslim women trying to imitate the kuffar woman. Kuffar women are oppressed thats why they go out to work, we cherish our women and pamper them in the home. alhumdulillah

I like Mufti Ebrahim Desai but it doesn't mean he has sole monopoly. One has to look at the present day situation instead of simply opting for a classical view where shariah is implement in full and islam dominates the land. It is no longer the case and forced believer to opt for alternative solution. I for one think muslimah need to become self sufficient as long as it does not mean compromising ones iman. Interaction between male and female can't be avoided unless, one prefers their daughter to be cooped up in a dingy room with no avenues for sunlight. Such view is expected from missogonist and it is not surprising their children live a dual life and suffering from depression. According to the view aired by the tow brothers, they should also not leave the house lest they fall into fitnah. I find it nausiating that whenever issues are disscussed the term fitnah fear mongering takes the lead. I would request such people to leave UK and go back to their Shariah implemented utopic entities where grass is greener and all is hunky dorey. Muslim should also realise not to rely on their children once they get old. Tims has been changing for worse and instead of dealing with it, we procastrinate in the hope of brighter future in a gloomy world.

Allahualam

So , you want to have a British version of Islam ?
When a Muslim person does not have the spiritual strength to follow Islam properly , they will find out a lot of excuses to modify Islam.
If a sin is practically impossible to avoid , that will not be declared Haram. Allah has infinite wisdom.
I mean, whatever is declared as haram by Allah can be avoided although a lot of difficulties will be faced. Anyway, going to paradise is not for a chicken-hearted person.

Muslims in the UK and other Western should try their best to follow Islam without making any compromise. If they think, it is very difficult to do there, then they should go to the proper place. The world is much bigger than the UK. However , there will be no French Islam , no British Islam and no Euro Islam.

Although , Islam allows a Muslim to maintain his non-haram cultural sensitivities and customs , it does not allow any attempt to declare an haram act into halal act.

Pharmacy was my dad's suggestion, I think that's my back-up plan if I remain unsuccessful in pursuing Dentistry.
