Education in Islam is a concept based on verses o the Holy Qur’an as well as Hadiths which emphasized the positive advantage to be gained from the acquisition of knowledge. The foundation of Islam stands on five pillars, but the main foundation stands on two pillars; the first one is the Holy Qur’an and second one is Hadith. Islam is the religion of peace, it is one of the most sacred and trustworthy religions which has given us information in every aspect of life. Islam gives us education with knowledge. The Arabic institution was set up in 1960 which has tried to bridge the gap between traditional and modern education among the modern course, it mainly focuses on humanities and social sciences. The first institutions of Islamic learning were found in many cities like; Madras, Multan and Dubai where the Holy Qur’an and the Hadith were taught in mosques. Muhammad Gouri, the great ruler played a significant role in the development of Arabic learning and Islamic studies in India. Besides the traditional centre of Islamic learning, Indian government has always remained keen to the development of Arabic language and literature.
