Q11. Explain the word madrassa

The term ‘Madrassa’ originates from the Arabic word ‘Darasa’ which means ‘To Study’. Madrassa, in general, is referred to a school that imparts Knowledge. But in the context of Pakistan or even in the contemporary South Asia the term ‘Madrassa’ is often used for Islamic educational institutions along with ‘Dar-ul-aloom’ and ‘Jamia’. Madaaris, plural for Madrassa, are at least a thousand years old. Accounts differ as to where madaris began, with origins being traced back to Baghdad, Syria, Morocco, and other rich cultural hubs in the Middle East. Today, however, the madrassa typically functions as a privately owned school where a religious Teacher instills his pupils with the basic tenets of Islam and the Arabic language. The main subjects of Madrassa Education include:

1. Qur’an
2. Hadith
3. Fiqh
