Demystifying Madrasah And Deobandi Islam: Legacy and History of Darul Uloom Deoband ^Sale

Demystifying Madrasah and Deobandi Islam traces the origin, evolution and growth of the Deobandi movement and madrasahs and outlines how Darul Uloom inspired and nurtured scores of such institutions across the globe, guiding millions of Muslims to embrace advancements in education while retaining the pristine form of Islam. Deobandi thought has remained steeped in Indian ethos and culture, embracing its diversity, plurality and universalism and thus differs significantly from the madrasahs in countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan. The book’s in-depth study of Deobandi Islam examines how its leaders contributed to the Indian polity and their role in the Indian freedom struggle. The author reconstructs the history of Deobandism and madrasahs through authoritative information from interviews with prominent Muslim scholars, academicians and religious clerics.
