Al-AZHAR TYPICAL FORM OF HIGHER MADRASA

Ina Zainah Nasution

Abstract


Jami` al-Azhar is the prototype of Islamic higher education. Starting from a mosque that metamorphosed into a university-level madrassa in the West, al-Azhar has crossed the time and era that confirmed it as the second oldest university after al-Qarawiyyin university in Fez, Morocco which still exists today. So it is not surprising that throughout more than a hundred years of service to the world of education, al-Azhar has succeeded in contributing the best generations in each era. The alumni of al-Azhar occupy important positions in the order of society and government. Undoubtedly, most of them were students of al-Azhar professors with their scientific halaqah during the Fatimiah period.
