In the contemporary understanding, the word madrasa connotes various meanings and interpretations. For Muslims, however, this word has its historical significance as an institution for learning; in the modern world, it was set up as the guardian of religious education, or religion itself. The word madrasa also brings to mind more than a century-long debate in India about reform in the madrasa curriculum. The current curriculum was essentially designed by the eighteenth-century scholar Mullā Nizāmuddīn. It is therefore known as Dars-e-Nizāmī, or Nizāmī Curriculum, and is still functioning in most of the Indian madrasas although there are some madrasas associated with movements such as Salafism that use a different curriculum. However, the debates about reform of madrasa curriculum have been around without any distinction.
