Exceptional women from all religions and origins collaborated with men in Muslim Civilization to progress their societies. They serve as lighthouses for today’s young men and women because to their motivational tales, endearing personalities, and commitment to improving their surroundings. Every time Women participated in all fields of life.

Winning the renowned Harvard Enterprise Competition and the $100,000 MIT prize helped her raise money for the project and brought in an additional $10 million from Bill Gates.
“When I came to Cambridge I was told by a famous scientist that I would fail because I am female and religion doesn’t go with science. I want to tell women scientists around the world – not just Muslims – that we should cross bridges and find the good in people. I want women to believe in themselves. I want to tell the whole world: do not let people belittle your dreams, if you believe in who you are, go for it.”
07. Dr Ismahane Elouafi – Morocco/Canada
This is the Top Female Muslim Scientists Number 07.
Elouafi received her Ph.D. in genetics from Cordoba University, and she is of the opinion that in order to be effective and lessen inequality and poverty, choices and development strategies must be based on research. She presently serves as the Director-General of ICBA, a renowned research center that tries to assist impoverished farmers in areas with limited water resources. She served a number of posts at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency before being named head of the ICBA.
“I had to work harder everywhere I went to prove myself, and sometimes not just once, but twice, or three times. I eventually decided to deliberately stop caring about what other people thought of me and simply focus on my work. Although it hurts me to admit it, I have succeeded despite being a woman and not because of it.

04. IQBAL AL ASSAAD – Palestine
This is the Top Female Muslim Scientists Number 04.
Assaad wasn’t your typical high school student at the age of 14. I hear you ask, “Why?” She was already a first-year medical student, which was the reason. This Palestinian phenomenon had already completed medical school when she was 20 years old, while other young people her age were settling into life as a college student. She wants to use her many skills to support the Palestinian cause and help people in need.

“My faith inspires my work in many different ways. The Qur’an gives emphasizes on putting our actions and beliefs into an analytical test, and to continuously challenging the views of our predecessors. This attitude is essential for all scientists and it is very clear in computer science where claims can be interpreted, understood and verified in mathematical and logical formats.”
02. Anousheh Ansari – Iran
This is the Top Female Muslim Scientists Number 02.
Anousheh is an immigrant who visited the United States when she was a teenager. She decided to further her education after that, graduating from George Washington University with a Master’s in Electrical Engineering and a BSc in Electronics and Computer Engineering. She made history on September 18th, 2006, when she entered private space as the first female (and maybe Muslim) explorer.
“I hope to inspire everyone—especially young people, women, and young girls all over the world, and in Middle Eastern countries that do not provide women with the same opportunities as men—to not give up their dreams and to pursue them. It may seem impossible to them at times. But I believe they can realize their dreams if they keep it in their hearts, nurture it, and look for opportunities and make those opportunities happen. Looking back at my life, I’m hoping that I could give them a positive example of how that could happen.”
01. Dr. Maryam Matar – UAE

These excellent Muslim scholars are living proof that knowledge can lead you anywhere. The fact that these Muslim women are challenging and overcoming preconceptions is more inspiring. More power to you, ladies!
