MADRASSA  Madrasa is the Arabic word for any type of

educational institution, whether secular or religious (of any religion).

The word is variously transliterated  madrasah medresa madrassa medrese etc.

In the West, the word usually refers to a specific type of religious school or college for the study of the Islamic religion.

People of all ages attend, and many often move on to becoming imams.The certificate of anʻālim.

A good number of the ḥuffāẓ(plural of ḥāfiẓ) are the product of the madaris.

An important function of the madaris is to admit orphans and poor children in order to provide them with education and training.

Madaris may enroll female students; however, they study separately from the men.

ORIGIN

Dar-e-Arqam is a first place which was used by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) as a hidden location where he could quietly carry on his divine mission.

He used the place for few years during the initial period of Islam to preach teachings of Islamic faith, establish contacts and devise strategy

After Hijrah (migration) the madrasa of "Suffa" was established in Madina on the east side of the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi mosque.

where Hazrat Muhammad was the teacher and the students were some of his followers. 

Ubadai-bin-as-Samit was appointed there by Hazrat Muhammad as teacher and among the students.

The curriculum of the madrasa, there were teachings of The Qur'an, The Hadith, fara'iz, tajweed, treatises of first aid, etc.

There were also trainings of horse-riding, art of war, handwriting and calligraphy, athletics and martial arts.

Omar bin Abdul Aziz was a scholar of the first rank and surrounded himself with great scholars like Muhammed bin Kaab and Maimun bin Mehran. He offered stipends to teachers and encouraged education

MOSQUES Mosques were places of education,

where both religious and the so-called worldly sciences were taught.  They played a pivotal role in the lives of Muslims. 

From the start, the mosque was the center of the Islamic community, a place for prayer, meditation, religious instruction, political discussion, and a school.

Once established, such mosques could develop into well-known places of learning, often with hundreds, sometimes with thousands of students, and frequently contained important libraries.

Notable examples are the Mosques in Madina, Cairo (Al-Azhar) and Damascus

PRIMARY SCHOOLING The primary schooling also included lessons in

writing of Arabic along with reading.

Along with the primary studies, the students were also taught the basic arithmetic which would enable them to carry out calculations related to the Zakat and the inheritance.

For more advanced learning one could avail the schooling in the bigger mosques. This would cover instruction in Arabic grammar and poetry, logic, algebra, biology, history, law, and theology

The first school connected with a mosque, was set up In Medina every mosque had an elementary school for the education of both boys and girls.

 Children usually started their schooling around the age of five. The very first thing they learnt was how to perform Salah and the recitation of the Qur’an.

Some of the Madrasas attached to the mosques were world-class centres of learning at their time.

The world-renowned Al-Azhar University is the oldest university in the world. Now, one can find over a hundred thousand students studying in it.

  Throughout the history of Islam, the mosque has

always played an important social role. It has been a place of prayer, a centre of political activities, an educational institution, and a focal point of communal life.

Al-Ghazali, Al-Farabi, and Ibn Sina (Avicenna), among many others, after teaching in public schools, retired to their private libraries and studies, but continued to teach
