Abstract
Sharī‘ah governance is a unique element of the Islamic financial system in which
Ulama (Islamic scholars) play a fundamental role. Deeni Madaris (religious
seminaries) are the major channels for the education of the Ulama. This study
analyzed and compared the syllabi of Deeni Madaris (religious seminaries) taught
in Dars-e-Nizami (full-time) and Takhasus fil Fiqh /Takhasus fil Ifta (specialization
in Islamic jurisprudence and Fatwa granting process) as offered by different
schools of Islamic thought regarding Islamic finance education. A survey was
conducted among the academics of these religious institutions regarding the
structure of the syllabus followed in their respective institutions. The questionnaire
focused on exploring the respondents’ opinions about the status of the curriculum
concerning Islamic finance and their efforts for the inclusion of contemporary
studies in it, specifically those regarding Islamic finance and jurisprudence issues.
