Why fear the constitution of the new Central Madrasa Board?
The eleven-member board being represented by different schools of thought and masaliks will consist of seven scholars, three educationists and one intellectual. The bill assures the protection of rights and non-interference of any kind in the functioning of madrasas. But unfortunately, a particular group of scholars considers it “interference in Deen-e-Islam”. They are also trying to propagate that the concerned board will demolish the entire system of madrasa education.

This is so because a particular group of Mullahs suffering from avarice have established their monopoly over the madrasas. They are vehemently trying to protect their personal interests by halting the opportunity for improvement of the Islamic institutions. They can even go to the extent of provoking Muslims and making it an issue of interference in Islam. Their social, intellectual and political status as well as their earnings and privileges are intact because of these madrasas only. We often hear that different managers of the madrasa administration are quarrelling to have control and possession over the madrasa on account of heavy amount of donations, alms and zakat deposited in the madrasa fund. The so-called organizers of the madrasas are totally against the affiliation with Central Madarsa Board. They cannot tolerate even a slight modification and reformation in the syllabus of the madrasas, even though it is extremely outdated and totally unsuited to the needs of the present age.

The age-old syllabus Dars-e-Nizami prepared by Mullah Nizamuddin Firangi Mahli about three hundred years ago is still being taught in the madrasas. It puts unnecessary emphasis on Fiqh.
