Islamic seminaries

Islamic seminaries, known as madrasas, are educational institutions dedicated to teaching Islamic sciences, including the Quran, Hadith (sayings of the Prophet), Islamic law, theology, and ethics. They provide structured learning for students of various ages who seek religious knowledge, spiritual development, or pastoral guidance. Madrasas can vary widely in size and curriculum, from traditional in-depth studies to modern integrated programs. They play a central role in preserving Islamic heritage, fostering community leadership, and promoting religious literacy. While primarily focused on religious education, many also include general subjects to prepare students for various roles within Muslim communities.
