By Sadaket Malik
There is an unprecedented growth of Madersa’s in a hilly hamlet Bhalessa (Doda). There is rising tide in madrasah education, as is being witnessed today. The Madersah’s increased in number. Interestingly, the number rose to 12 in an inaccessible area of Bhalessa including Thathri. Besides nurturing the Islamic clerics from these Madrasah’s including Hafiz and Ulema, these institutions seemed increasingly imparting modern education also at the pattern of other government schools under the ambit of the state government. Innovative Madrasah’s like the Jamia Gunyat ul Uloom are increasingly visible today, Jamia Gunyat ul Uloom Bhatyas established in the year 1983 and was named after Hazrat Abdul Gani Sadiqui. This Madersa was setup by Peer-i-Tareeqat Alhaj Ghulam Qadir Ganipuri sahib. The madrasah is managed by Gunyat Ul Uloom Trust Bhalessa is the largest Institution imparting Madrasah and academic education to the students of hilly terrain of Bhalessa.It currently has more than a thousand students on its rolls. Patterned on the Dar ul Uloom Deoband model, it is one of the few madrasah’s in the state of Jammu and Kashmir that provide Islamic education till the Alim Fazil or specialization level.
Besides Jamia, there are several other maddersa’s like Madrasah Asrar Ul Uloom at Neeli Bhalessa named after Shah Asrar ud Din Bagdadi (RA). Other Madrasa’s are:- Madrasah Anwar-e-Madina Gandoh, Madrasah Aweesya Ameenya Dhraveri, Gulshan-e-Madina at Dhadkai hamlet, Gunyaul uloom at Shallala and kahara area, Akhyar ul Uloom at Kahara, Gayas Ul Uloom at Gingota hamlet, Inam ul Uloom at Donadi, Ume-Sadiqa at Kilhotran, Madrasa Taleem ul Quran Bharti and Zia-ul Uloom at Thathri. Madrasah Um –e Sadiqa very recently founded by the Fredya Welfare Society Bhalessa headed by Alhaj Shoket Ali Batt. The madrasah is unique in the sense that it is meant for Girls only. There are as many as 80 girl students getting Islamic education. The madrasah is named after Hazrat Aishya Sidiqa (RA). The Madrasah focuses on the life and teachings of Hazrat Aishya Sadiqa (RA)There is an unprecedented growth in the madarasah’s owing to which the students are graduated at the pattern of Dar ul Uloom Deoband of Utter Pradesh. The unique feature of these Madarasah’s is that they focus on Inter community relations. All these institutions follow the curriculum prescribed by the Jammu and Kashmir State Board for Education.
Intresrtingly, Jamia Gunyatul Uloom Bhatyas which was patronised by peer i Tareeqat Hazrat Alhaj Ghulam Qadir Ganipuri has been galvinised by people throughout the state, as the credit for Madersa reforms in the entire valley of chenab goes to the Jamia. Jamia had been pivotal in spreading the concept in the area. As ill luck would have it, we lost a Great educationist viz-a-viz peer i Tareeqat.
