MADRASAH
-
BACKGROUND
In the West, the word usually refers to a specific type of religious school or college for the study of the Islamic religion, though this may not be the only subject studied.
The madrasah originated from the word ‘dar’ which means the teaching of sacred law but they were also known to teach ancillary subjects.
Madrasa (Arabic: مدرسة, madrasah, madāris) is the Arabic word for any type of educational institution, whether secular or religious (of any religion), and whether a school, college or university.
The madrasah was a physical institution, in addition to being an educational community, and it was one among many such institutions in the same city, each independent of the other, each with its own endowment (Makdisi, 1970).
The madrasah was a natural development from previous institutional types. For example, the masjid operating not as a house of worship but as a college of law, with its nearby khan acting as the residence of the law students in attendance. Makdisi (1970) explains this development in three stages: the masjid, the ‘masjid-khan complex that essentially a law college, and finally the emergence of the madrasah
