Dar al-Ulum (educational institution)

Dar al-Ulum is a traditional Islamic educational institution focused on teaching Islamic sciences, such as Quran, Hadith, Fiqh, and Arabic language, alongside other academic subjects. Originating in South Asia during the 19th century, these institutions aim to deepen students’ understanding of Islamic theology and law while often integrating modern education. Dar al-Ulum schools serve as centers for religious study, cultural preservation, and community leadership, providing a comprehensive curriculum that balances traditional Islamic knowledge with modern skills, preparing students for roles as scholars, religious leaders, and educators within their communities.
