Initially this book diagnoses the root of the malaise of the Ummah, that is dualism in its educational system. Then, it raises the need to revive the true Islamic education in order to resolve this educational dualism. It also provides a historical review of the developments of educational dualism in the Muslim world during the classical era. It provides a chronological picture of the evolution of Islamic education including its institutions and curriculum from the early Islam until today, especially during the Muslim enlightenment era. While explaining the classical educational practices and examining whether there existed any signs of dualism at the beginning of Muslim history, this chapter explores intellectual Muslim legacy (Turāth) as well.
