“Madrasah” is an Arabic word meaning school, or place of learning. It is a tradition that has started very early on in Islam because of the special emphasis in its doctrines placed on acquiring knowledge.
The current Madrasah or more relatively what has evolved in the present times is guided by the principle of investing in the foundational religious education of Muslim children. By equipping the Madrasah student with the core knowledge and analytical tools of Islamic education, it is understood that they will be able to develop a firm sense of identity with his or her beliefs and values to better meet the social challenges of our times. Likewise, the Madrasah system of education seeks to provide the necessary intellectual framework and judgment to enable each Muslim student to make the considered and informed choice consistent to Islamic spiritual and moral norms.
That while the Islamic education of the Muslim child should and, in most relative cases, do begin at home, it is formally and systematically conducted through the Madrasah. Historically speaking the first Madrasah was the Mosque of the Prophet (SAW) where they (Companions of the Bench) devoted themselves to study Islam directly from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). It was then that they propagated this unique understanding of Uloom-i-Deen (sciences of Islam). Many of them established and settled in mosques in distant lands where they started to teach the Qur’an and Hadith to students seeking knowledge of Islam.
Thus, they perpetuated the Madrasah by carrying on the Isnad (chain of transmission) from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) – NASIMCO, Toronto, Canada, 1981.
