Essay On Madrasah Education in Bangladesh
Introduction: The system in which
mainly the principles of the Quran, Hadith, and Fiqh are taught is called
Madrasah education. In other words, Madrasah education means Islamic education.
Kinds: In Bangladesh, there are two
systems of Madrasah education. In the Alia Nesab general subjects such as
English, Bengali, Mathematics, Science, Geography, Social Studies, etc. are also
taught in the light of Islam. But in the Kaomi Nesab mainly the Quran, the
Hadith, and Fiqh are taught.
Firstly, we know that Allah said in the
Holy Quran, “Read in the name of the Lord who had created you”. This call of
Allah can be obeyed by learning Islamic lessons that are taught in the
madrasah education.
Secondly, our Prophet (Sm) said, “Acquiring
knowledge is compulsory for every man and woman”. This compulsory duty can also
be performed by obtaining a Madrasah education.
Islamic teaching guides a man to lead a
life fearing Allah. This quality that is “Taqwa” makes up honest, truthful
citizens of the country.
Importance: At present, the Madrasah
education of Alia Nesab helps the students to earn knowledge of general
subjects. This makes them fit to cope with the competition of the modern world.
In brief, Madrasah education makes a
man pure. It makes a society beautiful. It saves us from the path of evil and the devil. It leads us to the path of peace and heaven. This system of education
helps us to be spiritually developed and to make a close connection with
Almighty Allah.
Problem: Madrasah education suffers
from some acute problems such as a lack of necessary standard syllabus, necessary
equipment, and trained teaching staff. Here financial problem is also very
serious. The authority is not giving due importance to this education and to
its needs. This negligence should be removed for the greater interest of the
society.
Conclusion: Madrasah students should
not suffer from an inferiority complex. They should realize that they can be true followers of Islam and honest leaders of the nation through this education. Allah
helps us all to benefit by following the Quran and Sunnah.
