Dars-e-Nizami – A Traditional Islamic Education System
Offered at: Jamia Qadaria
Introduction
Dars-e-Nizami is a classical Islamic curriculum that has been taught in madrasas for more than 300 years. It was developed in the Indian subcontinent by a great scholar, Mulla Nizamuddin Sahlawi (rahmatullah alaih), and is named after him.
This system is designed to create well-educated Islamic scholars (Ulama) who have deep knowledge of the Quran, Hadith, Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence), Tafsir (exegesis), and other Islamic sciences.
