Science is an activity progressing with human intellect and involvement. Within this activity, both men and women have important contributions. However, as an extension of patriarchal societies, men are prominent like many other fields and their contributions are mentioned more. Why women do not exist in the science world as they should is still controversial. Even women who have contributed to science have been neglected in science education as well for a long time. As far as the Muslim world is concerned, it made remarkable contributions to science. The Muslims introduced new methods of experiment, observation, and measurement. Yet today, the number of original research papers published by scientists in Muslim countries is 0.1% of the number published by scientists in Europe and the USA. The condition of Muslim Women Scientists is even grave. In many Muslim countries, gender-based discrimination, coupled with social and cultural barriers, limits access and participation of women in higher education. Some people attribute these barriers to the teachings of Islam but this is false. Therefore, highlighting the contribution and participation of Muslim Women Scientist is the main objective of this paper. The study is based on the life of a Muslim Women Scientist of Nematology working as a Professor in Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. The discussion reflects the Muslim women’s struggles and hard ships. In addition, how it brought up an influential change in the world with her contributions in the field of science. Lastly, the paper recognizes the glories and elegance of Muslim women’s collaborations side by side with men.
