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.

modernization of madrassa system

Their are around 6 million madrassa students in the region but we can not deny that their is a element of terrorism in it. The modernization and nationalization of the whole madrassa system can be a great success in eliminating terrorism and educating the masses of the madrassa students. Government can take several steps in reorganizing and rehsaping this system, first of all, each madrassa should be registered with the Govt. Govt should set a specific criteria for the teachers in the madrassas, e.g minium bachelors or masters and the a particular degree to be called as maulvi or mufti. Another step Govt can take is by prohibiting the organized unions of students in madrasas which later on turn in to religeious groups and modify religeon according to their desire. Govt should record each strudent enrolled in or out, so they can trach if they want to. Like in ordinary schools their should be proper syllabus pattern which has to be follow by all madrassas. these are the few steps by whcih we can reorganize and rehsape the madrassa system and control the negative aspect and propoganda of some groups to create misconception about Islam.In my opinion, the laws of supply and demand also apply to education and there is clearly a demand for religious education in Pakistan. The absence of regulated institutes to fulfill this demand creates a void that is currently filled by the network of unchecked madrassas.
