Dars-e-Nizami

The teaching and learning of Islamic sciences have been ongoing since the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, though teaching methods and educational systems have evolved over time. Currently, the curriculum used to teach Islamic sciences in the Indian subcontinent is known as Dars-e-Nizami.

Dars-e-Nizami is an excellent, comprehensive course in Islamic knowledge, covering fundamental texts on Tafsir (Quranic exegesis), Hadith, Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), logic, grammar, morphology, rhetoric, and prosody. A distinctive feature of this curriculum is its inclusion of various jurisprudential perspectives, especially in areas requiring interpretative reasoning (ijtihad) and subsidiary issues, which are taught in detail with supporting arguments. The curriculum encompasses essential topics needed by society, from beliefs and acts of worship to transactions, social conduct, and ethics. It also includes detailed aspects of the judicial system, family law, criminal and civil law, economics, trade, and various facets of finance, as well as issues related to testimony and advocacy. Due to its comprehensiveness, this curriculum can rightfully be seen as an ideal constitution for running an Islamic state.
