Abstract
The present study is an effort to gather research aspects for religious education
in Pakistan. Religious education, most commonly known as madrasa education,
has a profound history titled as Nizamiyah. Historical changes in the Muslim
regions have influenced this mode of education as well. It has been argued by
some researchers that positivity of faith based education has diminished due to
the changes in international political and economical scenario. Terrorism was
found to be a strongly associated variable with madrasa education and researchers have reasoned it with poverty, strong mentoring system and misconceptualizations of some religious beliefs. This study has found that while
madrasas are perceived very negatively, research shows that there are positive
influences regarding availability of education and women empowerment. The
negativity is attributed largely to media misrepresentation and political interests.
