Abstract

There is no religion without education. Educating the faithful has been an integral part of all religions in the past as well as in modern times. The education process takes place both in families and at school. Islam emphasises the importance of education as a method of man’s development. In order to understand the world of Islam today, one has to examine its past. The first centuries of the existence of Islam coincided with the mediaeval period in Western culture. The cultural heritage developed in that period, including education, became an integral part of Islam. Although education was not universal, its role and importance were always emphasised. Knowledge was valued by Muslims. According to Islamic tradition, it was worth travelling to various places across the world to meet renowned teachers. An injunction known among Muslims since the Middle Ages until today says: „Seek knowledge, even in China!” Muslims held teachers in high regard in that they taught people how to live, behave and think in accordance with the Koran. The holy book of Islam was the most important guide to attaining knowledge and submitting to the will of Allah. Schools, including madrasahs, were important places teaching the articles of faith, and religion in general, to children and youth.
