Book Description
Because my questions made Amir uncomfortable, he pronounced talaq just like that on the wife who had abandoned everything for him because his religion gives him that privilege. Where do I now stand, sir? Do you have any solutions for me?' Lakshmi, a rebellious, free-spirited and intelligent film-maker, breaks ties with her staunchly Gandhi an father to marry Amir, the man she loves. She even agrees reluctantly to Amir's request that she convert to Islam, as a formality and change her name to Razia. However, she is shocked to discover that her husband is not the open-minded, progressive individual he claimed to be. For after marriage, Amir takes his family's side in trying to force her to follow the more rigorous tenets of their faith. This sets her off on a personal journey into India's history to uncover the many layers of religion, caste and creed. Her quest leads her to the many parallels in the narratives between the past and the present and she gradually finds that though much has changed in Indian society over the centuries, much remains the same. The second historical novel by celebrated Kannada author S.L. Bhyrappa, translated for the first time into English by Sandeep Balakrishna, Aavarana: The Veil raises pertinent and searching questions about religion, liberalism and identity and highlights the importance of unshackling oneself from the bonds of false knowledge.

History of Islamic Education in India and Nadvat Ul-'Ulama
Author: Ghazanfar Ali Khan
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
After re-establishing their rule, the Europeans started a policy of persecution against the Indian Muslims because they feared and considered the Muslims as exclusively responsible for what they called the Mutiny of 1857. This policy of continuing persecution by the British ruined the Indian Muslim society, giving rise to a general feeling of helplessness. In this situation of gloom, some farsighted Muslims stood up and took certain steps to restore their self-esteem and preserve their religious identity. Maulana Qasim Nanauntvi founded Dar-ul-Uloom deoband in 1866 for Islamic education on traditional pattern. Dar Ul-Uloom Deoband followed, more or less, Dars-e-Nizami and did not include modern or Western Education in its courses of studies. It was a syllabus meant for the teaching of Quran, Hadith, Fiqh and Aqaid. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, on the other hand, founded M.A.O College in 1875 at Aligarh and adopted Western Arts and Sciences. This emphasis on purely religious or totally modern education left between the two educational goals, a widening gap. Infact Nadvat Ul-Ulama was established mainly to fill this gap. It aimed at reforming the syllabi of madaris-e-Islamiya and striving to lessen the differences among Muslim sects and groups. Soon the fame and reputation of Dar-Al-Ulum Nadvat Ul-Ulama outshone many Islamic seminaries. It came to be considered next only to Dar-Ul-Ulum Deoband in the whole of the subcontinent. The influence of Dar-Al-Ulum Nadvat ul-Ulama in the teaching of Arabic language and literature has been very remarkable. The contributinos of its graduates particularly in the field of biography and Islamic history are a hallmark of Nadvah. Its scholars are scattered all over the world and have been playing a very conspicious role in the dissemination of Islamic teachings and values. The Introductory part of this study focuses in detail on the importance of education in the light of Quran and hadith and the history of Madrasas and its development with special reference to Saltanat and Mughal period of India. Courses of studies of the madrasas and the reasons of downfall of the madrasas have also been discussed. In the first chapter, conditions of the Muslim community in India during 19th century in respect of education have been described at length. It hightlights the resolutions and policies of the British regarding education. Muslim responses to Western education, social, political, educational and economic condition of the Muslims in the post-1857 period and role of Maulana Qasim nanauti, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and 'Allamah Sihbli Nomani in the upliftment of the Muslim community. Chapter two is related to the establishment of Dar Al Ulum Nadvat ul Ulama and the causes which required the need of urgent attention. The chapter deals at length with the objectives of Nadvah, outline of the proposed Dar-Al-Ulum, relations between government and Nadvat Ul Ulama and the foundation ceremony of the institution. In Chapter three the first and foremost objective of Nadvah, i.e to reform and update the subjects and courses of studies has been discussed in detail. The chapter elaborates Shiblis views regarding the cirriculum, characteristics of Dars-e-Nizami, Shah Waliullah's contribution to education, Maulana Mongeri's Musavvedah-e-Nisab-e Arabi, opening of Darjah-e Takmil and the revision and division of the course of studies. Chapter four has been divided into two parts. Part first focusses on the lives and contributions of the founder members of Nadvah. Second part highlights the lives and works of the renowned scholar of Nadvah.
