Wifaq Ul Madaris Arabia: Performance, Procedure and Ties

Abstract

Since independence the number of madrasas in Pakistan has grown remarkably. The madrasas growing enormously were in need of a central authority and control which can help them in their organisation, curriculum development and other day to day matters. The establishment of wifaq (board) was not an easy task. It required a lot of thought process and convincing all the stakeholders on one point to give it a physical structure. Maulana Khair Muhammad of Jamia Khair ul Madaris, Multan took this lead initiative to gather all ulama on one platform. The establishment of the education board was a right decision to bring peace, harmony and tranquillity among the madrassas scattered all over Pakistan. Interesting fact is that Jamia Khair ul Madaris and Education Board both established in Multan. Thus the reliable growth of the Board and substantial expansion of the physical structure supported lots of Deobandi madaris in Pakistan. Khair ul Madaris. Multan’s continuous social and economic growth from colonial times to postcolonial Pakistan played a vital role in establishment and expansion of Education Board in the city of Multan.
