Madaris .. an institution For Poors


There are about 12000 madras’s in Pakistan with more than 1.5 million students enrolled. Madras’s usually exist because the people of Pakistan do not have enough money to give their children the proper education. A madras’s is a place where they can send their children without giving much money and have them fed as well that is why most of the poor families have their children sent there.
Madrasssas are actually reducing poverty by providing education to poor families as modern education is also introduced in many madrassas in many part of countries, so that poor people also compete and spend life which every citizen right to spent the same pattern.
Like other rich students do actually. Government is also pressuring madras to give science knowledge. However Most of them still do not teach science or other subjects but they have installed computer in there lab. However Islam does not only restrict Muslims to get religious knowledge. One famous proverb of prophet is that “Seek knowledge even if it is in China”. This shows that no matter where you are getting knowledge is very important and not just knowledge about Islam but also worldly knowledge. The article states that madras’s are being violated by the local police because the government of Pakistan wants its madras’s modernized. Therefore in order to keep the police away from themselves they install computers to show that they are going towards modernizing there institutes. Islamic institutes are teaching what they think is the right way of teaching. They do not consider how and why should there be any changes. What the Quran says about gaining knowledge is being misinterpreted. Therefore in order to understand the true meaning of Islam and its teachings one has to learn more about what the Quran says about it.

  2. Madrassas have been under severe criticism especially since 9/11. When Pakistan became a U.S. ally in its war against terrorism in the aftermath of the events of 9/11, it became the focus of world attention. Its madrassas and their perceived role in harboring and nurturing terrorism have generated heated debates
