What is Dars-e-Nizami?
Dars-e-Nizami (also written Darse Nizami or Dars Nizami) is the classical madrasa curriculum of South Asia. It trains students step by step in Arabic grammar, Quran, Hadith, Fiqh and their principles, leading to the Alim qualification for men and the Alimah qualification for women.
