HISTORY OF GROWTH, FORMATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

The history of the growth and development of Islamic educational institutions reflects the long journey of Islamic civilization from the 7th century AD until now. Initially centered on mosques with oral traditions, these institutions later developed into madrasas with structured curricula, such as the Nizamiyah Madrasah in Baghdad. During the golden age of Islam, scientific centers such as Baghdad and Cordoba developed rapidly, supported by Muslim intellectual figures such as Ibn Sina. Globalization and modernization have brought major transformations, although challenges such as curriculum standardization and technology integration remain. The aim of the research is to discuss the implementation of pre-madrasah Islamic education, the transformation of education from mosques to madrasas and to determine the challenges of developing Islamic educational institutions in the modern era. The research method used is library research, by collecting and analyzing books, articles and references related to the history of the growth, formation and development of Islamic education institutions. This research traced the history and development of Islamic educational institutions and provides practical recommendations for facing challenges in the modern era by employing the literature study method.
