“In recent years, clichéd calls for reform of Islam have acquired more stringent tones.. “We need a Muslim reformation.” “Islam needs reformation from within.” Such headlines keep flashing in the media.

“There is no holy book, other than the Qur’an, that places so much emphasis on respecting the views and beliefs of others.

“Madrasas worldwide have suffered a significant loss of reputation in recent decades o;n account of a wave of extremism. They have been continually targeted with an avalanche of searing and strident critiques. The state has denounced madrasas in secular countries and attempted to wrest exclusive control over them.
