What is taught in madrasas of India so far?
The main objective of education in the madrasas of India is to promote religious education and rituals. Most of the Muslim community children get education here.
Quran and Hadith education
In madrasas, children are first trained in the Quran. At the same time, the hadith (Islamic traditions and words) are also taught so that students can understand religious life properly.
Arabic language
Since the Quran and Hadith are in Arabic language, Arabic language education is also imparted in madrasas. This helps children to understand and read religious books properly.
Islamic history and culture
In madrasas, Islamic history, culture and religious programs are also taught, so that children can have knowledge of their religious identity and heritage.
Sanskrit education
Sanskrit is also taught in some madrasas, so that children can become familiar with Indian culture and Sanskrit literature. This education helps in understanding the prosperity of Indian culture.
general education
In recent years, some madrasas have also included modern education like mathematics, science, Hindi, English, social studies etc. so that students can do well in the modern world as well. This traditional education is imparted in the madrasas of India, but now some madrasas are also combining modern education with change, so that children can get both religious and social education.
