Abstract
Muslim countries have a rich history of intellectual traditions and educational institutions, which have evolved over the course of 1400 years. Like every other intellectual tradition, educational traditions and institutions in the Muslim countries have also been subject to change and a fluctuating trend of emergence and development, and regression and decline. Although there is an increasing interest in Islam in general and in Muslim education in particular, there is still a significant shortage of academic and analytical historical research on Muslim educational traditions and institutions. This chapter explores and analyses how Muslim educational traditions and institutions emerged in the classical period, evolved over the course of history, and have been handed down to the present time.
