Islamic Schools (Madrasa)

An Islamic school, often called a madrasa, is an educational institution that combines general academic studies with Islamic religious teachings. It aims to provide students with knowledge of the Quran, Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad), Islamic history, and moral values, alongside subjects like mathematics, science, and languages. Madrasas can vary widely in size, curriculum, and focus—some emphasize religious education intensely, while others integrate it with secular studies. They serve as important centers for learning, community building, and preserving Islamic traditions across diverse cultural contexts worldwide.
