An Analytical Study of Teaching Seerah in Pakistani Madrassas (With reference to the Boards of Madrassas)

Abstract

Allah Almighty has declared the blessed life (Seerah) of the Holy  Prophet Muhammad  ﷺas the best example and Role Model for all human beings. Therefore, it is obligatory to acquire knowledge of the Seerah of the Prophetﷺ . His blessed life is a blessing for all human beings. It is our first responsibility and a necessary requirement of our faith to enlighten the future generations with the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, because in all corners of the Prophet's ﷺ Seerah, there is guidance and guidance for all humanity. His blessed Seerah is the Comprehensive and Universal, in the light of which we can solve all our problems and also become able to face all kinds of new challenges. The comprehensiveness and universality of Seerat-e-Tayyaba ﷺ demands us that we have to the best arrangement for its reading, teaching and inclusion as a permanent subject in all our educational institutions. Unfortunately, no serious efforts have been made to fulfill this responsibility in our country Pakistan. This lack is being felt in the curricula of all educational institutions of Pakistan. The same is the case with the curricula taught in our religious schools, i.e. in Deeni Madrassas. In their curriculums, Quran and Sunnah, Islamic jurisprudence, Arabic grammar and logic etc. are taught, but there is no encouraging arrangement regarding the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ as a permanent subject or any specific discipline. Those who graduate from these religious Madrassas are really the first preachers of of Islam. So, therefore, it is necessary for them to have complete access to all the sciences regarding the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammadﷺ. There are some modern requirements and new challenges of the present age. Islam is a religion of peace and harmony, but efforts are being made to portray it as a terrorist religion in the West. The Orientalists are raising objections to Islam and the Prophet's ﷺ life. Therefore, it is very important to organize the teaching of Seerat-e-Tayyaba ﷺ in a comprehensive manner and as a permanent subject in our Dini Madrassas. Seerah is not being taught as a discipline in our Islamic Madrassas,. Therefore, at this time, there is need to create a comprehensive curriculum for Islamic Madrassas, which includes permanent books of Seerah for teaching. It is also the need of the time to renew the curricula of Islamic Madrasas and to include the Seerah of Prophet ﷺ in a thematic manner. The summary and result is that our religious educational tradition strongly demands different aspects of specializations in the Prophet's ﷺ Seerah. The main goals and objectives of this research are that an attempt will be made to evaluate the trends of teaching Seerah in Pakistani Deeni Madrasas and an analytical study of the books of Seerah already included in the curriculum of religious madrasas will be done. This work will be done with reference to the curriculums of different boards of religious Madrassas in Pakistan. An attempt will be made to discuss the need and importance of studying Seerah in the curriculum of Deeni Madrassas. The basic question of the research will be that what are already present there in the teaching of Seerah in Pakistani Religious Madrassas and what more we needs to be done in this regard.
