Darl-Ul-Uloom-I-Deoband OR Deoband Movement

MCQS

·                     Maulana Mohammad Qasim Nanautvi started this movement by establishing Darl-UL-Uloom Deoband in the Chattah Mosque, in Deoband (Sharanpur) on 30th May 1866

·                     A managing committee consisting Maulan Mohammad Qasim, Maulana Zulifqar Ali, Maulana Fazul-ur-Rehman and Maulana Muhammad Mahmood was formed to look after the affairs of the madrasah.

·                     Maulvi Muhammad was appointed as its first teacher with a monthly salary of fifteen rupees.

·                     Haji Muhammad Abid was also the founder member

·                     Reasons Of Establishment Of Deoband Movement:

·                     Main causes of the Deoband Movement were as under:

·                     i) After the 1857 war of Independence the Christian missionaries had started preaching their religion unhindered under the disguised patronage of the government. Under these circumstances, preaching of Islam was the need of the hour.

·                     ii) The Deoband Movement was the corollary of the Muslim desire for renaissance.

·                     iii) The Indian Ulema wanted to give a proper position to the teachings of the Quran and Hadith which enjoyed secondary importance of

Darse Nizami. Thus the Syllabus of Deoband comprised of Tafseer, Hadith, and Arabic literature, Fiqah, Ilmul Kalam, Serf-o-Nehv and Tajveed.

·                     Syllabus Of Deoband Madrassah:

·                     i) In the first four years the Holy Quran was memorized.

·                     ii) Then the disciplines of Urdu, Diniyat, Social Studies, geography, Islamic Civilization and Fiqah were Taught to the students for four years.

·                     iii) In the Arabic course the students were taught Arabic literature, Hadith, Logic, Philosophy, fiqah, Tafseer, Ilmul Kalam, Mathematics and Manazara. In addition, the students of Urdu language, Arabic language and Translations were taught in three year Arabic course.

·                     iv) In the five year Persian and Mathematics course, the students of Persian language, History of Islam, Geography, Mathematics and Translation were taught to the students.

·                     Deoband, in fact, was a movement which focused on Islamic teachings rather than materialism. The pioneers of Deoband Movement were against the Aligarh movements of Sir Syed and considered him a materialistic who was imparting only modern knowledge to the Muslims and drifting them away from Islam. That was why; the Deoband Movement was started parallel to Aligarh Movement

ii) Prevention of the propaganda of Christianity.

iii) Establishment of an Islamic Society on sound foundations.

iv) Protection of orphan children and to give them education.

v) Protection and development of the Muslims’ social, political, economic, and educational rights.

Islamia College Peshawar

The Edwardes High school was the first attempt in Peshawar as regarding Missionary work, which was established in 1855 by Robert Clarke under the patronage of Sir Herbert Edwardes. The Muslims of the sub continent realized the urgent need for modern education after the 1857 war of independence.

When the new province of NWFP was formed in 1901, after its separation from Punjab, there were three types of schools in the province.

Those maintained by endowments and gifts, those established and run privately, but aided by government and those maintained by the Government through local boards.

By the year 1909, the idea of a college in the province, was taking its rough shape in the minds of Abdul Qayum and Roos Keppel, which was further strengthened by their visit to Aligarh the same year, where the Muslim students gave Sir Sahibzada their humble donation for the purpose of student hostel, hall or any better project. Sahibzada Sahib arranged a meeting of like minded people on April 12, 1911 at the residence of Abdul Karim contractor at Peshawar city, which was attended by K.S. Ghulam Haider Khan, Habibullah Khan, Khushal Khan, Sethi Karim Bakhsh, Sahibzada Abdul Qayum and others. Sahibzada Qayum moved the motion for collection of contributions, which was instantly responded by a cash donation of Rs 10,000 by Abdul Karim Khan.

The second was Sahibzada Abdul Qayum, with his instant contribution of Rs 1,000, while Sethi Karim Bakhsh gave Rs 50,000, the Nawab of Dir promised one lac and a quarter rupees, beside four hundred trees.

Subscriptions were also given by the Afridi Chiefs and leading religious elders. An example was set by Bibigul, widow of Khairullah Khan of Prang, who gave her ornaments on June 6, 1911 as her subscription towards the college fund.

The land chosen for college building were the property of the Khalil’s of Tehkal, out of which a total of nine hundred and sixteen kanals and seventeen marlas were bought in 1911 at the rate of Rs 30 per kanal.

The college authorities appointed their own armed chowkidars, consisting of one Head Constable and four foot Constables, appointed in 1911.

Haji Sahib of Turangzai, who had come one day earlier for the foundation laying ceremony, had spent the night in ‘Pokh’ Mosque of Tehkal. As Roos Keppel and other Britishers were also there for the occasion, Haji Sahib hid his face in his ‘Chadar’ and was led by Sheikh Muhammad Ibrahim to the place where he was to lay the foundation stone.

After laying the stone, Haji Sahib went to Tehkal. The construction work, which was started in the second half of 1912, showed remarkable progress in completion. The program of construction included an Arts college, a Darul Uloom, and hostel, a high school and three hostels, a mosque, and residences for the principal and headmaster. High school Islamia Collegiate School which consisted of 26 rooms and one school hostel were ready before the spring of 1913 and the building before the 1st of October of the same year.

The college was opened on October 1st 1913 and students were admitted for the first year and third year classes only. The first student to get enrolled in the college was Sahibzada Khurshid, who later became the Governor of NWFP in 1949. At the close of the year, the number of enrollment had reached 33. Initially, the college had only ten numbers of teaching staff, one clerk, one accountant and only two hostels (Qayum Manzil and Hardinge Hostel). With Mr. L. Tipping as the first principal, Allama Anayatullah Mashriqi was the vice principal and Maulana Qutab Shah as the Dean of Theology. Besides the physical beauty of the college, Sahibzada Sahib was very particular about its academic standard and was very careful in appointing any new professor or teacher. For this purpose he was always in search of learned and well educated people. After the sad demise of Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayum in 1937, the college was left more or less an orphan in the hands of others.

However, the college survived the ups and downs of the coming year, facing the opposition of those who were so, even during the life time of Sahibzada Sahib with the only difference that he was no longer there to bear the brunt

Pakistan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. In 2003 only 45.7 percent of adult Pakistanis were literate. Male literacy was 59.8 percent, while female literacy was 30.6 percent. From 1976 to 2001 the number of primary schools doubled, but so did the population. High levels of population growth continue to hamper educational development in the country. The government launched a nationwide initiative in 1998 with the aim of eradicating illiteracy and providing a basic education to all children.

According to the constitution, it is the state’s responsibility to provide free primary education. Five years has been established as the period of primary school attendance, but attendance is not compulsory. While the enrollment rate in primary school is high for boys, less than one-half of girls attend school. In the 1999–2000 school year 96 percent of primary school-aged children were enrolled in school, while only 39 percent of secondary school-aged children attended. In 1996, 3.5 percent of Pakistan’s college-aged population attended institutions of higher education. The wealthiest and best students seek education in British and American universities.

At the time of independence Pakistan had only one university, the University of the Punjab, founded in 1882 in Lahore. Pakistan now has more than 20 public universities. Among Pakistan’s leading public institutions of higher education are Quaid-e-Azam University (1965), in Islāmābād, the University of Karāchi (1951), the University of Peshāwar (1950), and the University of Sindh (1947), near Hyderābād.

Since 1978 the government has encouraged the privatization of education at all levels. This led to the creation of three major private universities: Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Agha Khan University Medical College (in Karāchi), and Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (in Topi, North-West Frontier Province). The National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), in Rāwalpindi, conducts research in the fields of science and technology for both the public and private sectors.
