THE ROLE OF THE PRESENT DAY MADRAS IN THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The history of Islam assures us that the role of Madrasa is like the role of Sufia for spreading the teaching of Quran and Sunnah. The first Madrasa suffah was established by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself in his Mosque in Madina. The Ashab e Suffah used to spend the whole time in the presence of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for getting the preaching of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and teaching of Quran. Hazrat Abu huraira was one of them who narrated 5374 ahadith while he spent just 3 years with Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Later on with the passage of time similar Madaris were established in Bukhara, Kufa, Baghdad and in subcontinent. In fact Madaris were built against the educational system in India subcontinent, the Muslim scholars were in the front line of struggle against the British Colonialism in India. When Pakistan got independence in 1947, the Madaris tradition was shifted into Pakistan, in the beginning there were few Madaris but with the passing of time the number of Madaris increased and it is very difficult to get the number of these Madaris in Pakistan, because there are thousands of Madaris which are providing the services individually in Mosques and shelters but they are not affiliated to any of the five Madrasa boards. These Madaris plied the key role to eliminate of injustice, indigence, poverty, illiteracy, atrocity and arrogation, and they can play the same role nowadays but with changing in curriculum.
