Abstract

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of madrassa education in building up a religiously cohesive society. The question which this research study addressed was: Do the Madrassa have any ideology/policies regarding social cohesion (open and hidden)? The study was qualitative in nature, an ethnographic case study was conducted to investigate the research problem in order to support and cross verify the results, and content analysis was also conducted of policy statements and relevant courses of all madrasa boards selected as a case. A total number of 5 respondents selected as case; semi-structured Interviews were carried out by Madrassa Policymakers, curriculum designers, and key administrators of Madrassas. Data were analyzed with the five-step process: 1) data managing, 2) coding and developing themes, 3) describing, 4) interpretation, and 5) representation.
