    THE CONCEPT OF ZAKAT AND DEVELOPMENT: A CASE OF MADRASAH EDUCATION IN BANGLADESH
    (5th South East Asia International Islamic Philanthropy Conference 2017, 2017-02-16) Islam, Mohammad Saiful; Noor, Abd Halim Mohd
    The payment of Zakat by the owners of wealth is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is acceptable in Islamic law to distribute Zakat to the eight categories listed when and where it is considered to be most needed. One of the top priorities of today is the education of young Muslims to preserve and develop their Islamic identity and self-awareness. This paper studies how Zakat contributes to developing madrasah (Islamic school) education and how it is a valuable way to help Islamic education in Bangladesh. It addresses the following questions: 1) how do madrasah manage their finance, income, and expenditures? 2) what type of the madrasah education system in Bangladesh? 3) are madrasah students eligible for food-for-education, textbook, and scholarship programmes? This paper will also study the potential effects of Zakat implementation within the context of contemporary society in developing madrasah education. Finally, it will offer suggestions and recommendations for future development.

    Modernization Of Madrasah Education In Bangladesh: A New Approach For Future Development
    (The Regional Seminar On The Islamic Higher Education Institutions 2012 (Seipti 2012)”, 2012) Islam, Mohammad Saiful
    The role of Madras education in Muslim communities is significant in developing nations. In Bangladesh, madrasahs (a place of Islamic theological education) are playing vital role in socioeconomic development. The approach to an Islamic education received in madrasah in the contemporary Muslim nations is criticized for its so call conservatives and stagnancy. More importantly, the incident of 9/11 Terrorists’ Bombing of WTC in U.S.A has led to intense attacks and criticisms on the madrasah system in the Muslim countries. Madrasah education in Bangladesh is a parallel system of mainstream general education. Within it, there are two streams of madrasahs covering primary, secondary as well as higher levels- the AÑliya madrasahs that broadly follow the national school curriculum together with religious lessons and are recognized by the government and receive government subvention, and qaumi madrasahs (non government schools) that do not follow the national school curriculum but focus more on religious teachings without receiving any government subventions. This paper intends to discuss about the historical background of madrasah education in Bangladesh, and what are the problems and the challenges in the way of modernization from the present context. This paper also aims to look into a new approach to make madrasah education productive and innovative. Finally, the paper will suggest possible actions to enhance the country’s madrasah education system for future development
