Deoband

Deoband is a town in India renowned for its Islamic educational institution, the Darul Uloom Deoband, established in 1866. This seminary has played a significant role in shaping Sunni Islamic thought, emphasizing traditional teachings, Quranic studies, and Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad). It serves as a central hub for Islamic scholarship and has influenced religious practices across South Asia and beyond. The school's focus is on classical Islamic sciences, fostering a conservatively orthodox approach while encouraging students to live ethically and pursue religious knowledge.
