Madressas during Islam’s golden age made Muslims a super power and leader in technoly and research. Many modern math and science concepts were invented by Muslims who attended madressas.Neither is an acceptable outcome.
What passes in the name of Madressas today is an insult to the word
And madrasa where teaching is given.
A school is a madrassa
A university is a madrassa
A Madrassa tul Islam is where Islam is taught
Doesn’t mean every Madrassa has to teach Islam.
Before the british and when madaris were fully established, they would teach maths, persian, urdu, basic sciences(chemistry, biology) and first aid. Some would also teach combat skills including use of blunt force and sharp weapons.
And then they also taught Islam.
That was a Madressa of the type described above
Not the type that is now common in Pakistan and is essentially a hotbed of extremism and abuse including sodomy
It’s truly sad seeing many madressas run by ignorant molvis nowadays. Madressas being used for every purpose other then what their suppose to do by power hungry ignorant molvis nowadays.
This Hadith sums it up properly:
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah does not withhold knowledge by snatching it away from his servants, but rather he withholds knowledge by taking the souls of scholars, until no scholar remains and people follow ignorant leaders. They are asked and they issue judgments without knowledge. Thus, they are astray and lead others astray.”
