Re: Dr. Iqbal on Madrassas
^i agree with you hanibal but i have a question due to hypocrites should one leave the concept of islam? most of muslims today lack the vigour with which our ancestors practised islam but to fix this should we reinvent the religion or mend our ways?this includes me, a girl with a niqaab, a guy with a beard and a guy without it. should we ridicule the madrassa system or should we work to get rid of the flaws. many influenced muslims have problems with main ideology of islam every little basic thing has to be dragged on and on. we all like the concept of change but hate the idea of working to bring it about.
No dear sister, iam not against madrassa system, it is the one the best educational system but it have lost the touch, for example there were days when graduates of these very madrassas where Mathematicians, Chemists, Astrologers and Biolgists. they used to study logic from Quran and Hadees and apply it on other sciences. Those Madrassas were our heritage, now all the madrassas are limited to reciting of Quran, Memorizing of ahadees promoting your very own fiqah and thats all.. no sister this is not the madrassas this is not the spirit of Islam and i am against them
( as a matter of fact iam against so-called Enlighted Eduation System of Pakistan as well)
As we are talking from Dr. Iqbals prespective, he says Muslims supposed to be the Imam of Todays world, tell me sister how could a Imam can be so ignorant?
