The Purpose of the Madrasah In The Community

Building a Madrasah is a prophetic and Islamic tradition of Muslim communities. One of the first projects that Prophet ﷺ completed when he entered Madinah is to build the Masjid-e-Quba in which he taught the religion of Islam in groups to his followers. Subsequently, wherever the Muslims have gone, they have built a Masjid and Madrasah for their needs in their community.

Allah ﷻ has blessed the Muslims with the greatest knowledge of all knowledge, their deen. To pass on this knowledge, Muslims all over the world have created Islamic schools (madrasah) in their communities. The madrasah system is a reward from Allah ﷻ, Islamic history, Adab, Akhlaaq, Hadith, Tafseer, Fiqh, Islamic rulings are taught there. Madrasahs have educated us and have saved many from becoming neglectful of their faith. Indebted we are to the efforts of our pious predecessors who have sustained this tradition over so many centuries.

Islamic education is the most important gift that parents can give to their children; it is an asset that only enhances in value if it is put into practice as the years go by and as they face the trials and tribulations of life.
