True Face of Madrassas

Do Madrassas really spread terrorism?

The aim of the following Blog is to present the real face of Madrassa system which is actually a true picture of Islam. And to show that you can not recommend your point of view on the black sheep which is present in every society. You can not pick up any banned institution (Jaish-e-Muhammaad, Laskar-e-Taiba) and represent Islam by them. There are many Madrassas inPakistan which is really doing well for Islam and not giving only Islamic education but also giving students modern education such as (Iqra, Arqam, Madrassa Darull Aloom,Jamie Namia).

The word “Madrassa” means “center of learning” in Arabic. A Madrassa student learns how to read, memorize and recite the Quran properly. The history of establishing madrassas is about 1000 years old. Learning is a basic part of Islam and it is not associated with religious education only. So when madrassas were initially started they had all the components of educational system prevailing at time. Including religious Islamic education and different other subjects like astronomy, architecture, philosophy, math etc. That continued for centuries and madrassas produced some great scholars, researchers of that age. Muslim part of the world was a hub of knowledge. The work of Muslim scholars, scientists laid down the foundation of many new areas of learning. But now in present era madrassas leaves behind because less attention of government and rising trend of information technology in youth. Islam is without doubt the best religion but the media is in the hands of the westerners who are afraid of Islam. The media provides misinformation about Islam and misquote Islam. When any bomb blasts take place anywhere, the first people to be accused without proof are invariably the Muslims.
