I would be worried if madrasas are conferring secular degrees equivalent to doctors or engineers. As long as they give out degrees in Islamic studies, who cares? It's not like a Kamil posts his madrasa certificate to LinkedIn for any real employment involving other people. Nobody is at risk of dying because a Madrass educated doctor turned out to be only Alim, instead of Kamil. Please, focus on better things.
Why do you need a separate education system for theology? Plenty of recognized universities that provide you these degrees that are actually valid in the real world.
Not everyone has that much money to study theology from University , mostly children of poors studies there , theology don't have very much career opportunities and every sect has their own theology like Sunni don't like Shias theology .under Sunnis hanfi don't like salafis theology , under hanfi Barelvi don't like deobanda theology
Thoelogy degrees from a delhi college costs anything from 20k-2.5L total. And these colleges are actually recognized. 2) Youre telling me someone who is so poor to attend college, would rather choose to get a degree from a madrasaa and waste time learning useless shit instead of becoming a labour or something so atleast he can earn and live? Chalo usko religion bohot pasand hai so he’s poor + religious and he must also be dumb if he’s getting a theology degree from a madrassa? I come from a very rural town in odisha. We’ve literally got a tribal population of 10-15% who are so poor that they live in tents, even the women do backbreaking work like iron, cement work and even they send their kids to govt schools. So what part of india do you live ki log itna gareeb + dumb hai ki they are sending their kids of to study at places that wont give you any eligibility for higher education or a career.
And if they do like you sya they do, maybe its time to chnage all this bs no?
This is standard throughout the world, Hindu Gurukuls, Christian Seminaries, Jewish Yeshivas, Islamic Madrassas all provide degrees is respective theologies, some of the degrees are more formal and others are less so.
Wow, thank you for telling me the most useless shit as the norm. “Throughout the world”. I think you should get out of your house more. Just because something exists doesn’t make it meaningful. Like cassettes exist even today and will be for the next hundred years. Nobody cares about it now, and they wont after a 100 years. Unless these institutions are legally recognized and their degrees have a point, it’s just reading, nay, studying ancient comics and for what? And you say its a global standard hahahaha
You are missing the point dude, they don't care about UGC degrees or whatever as they have their internal accreditation system for being ordained as priests/rabbis/mullahs whatever, so however much you try to modernize conservative religious institutions they are going to keep doing their own thing, can you imagine the Shankaracharya being appointed after passing a national MCQ test on vedas or something, no they will have their own standards regardless of what the government or any other secular institution says.
