“Dakhil Madrasah” refers to a level of Islamic religious education in the madrasa (Islamic school) system, especially in countries like Bangladesh and India. “Dakhil” is typically equivalent to secondary education, and students studying in a Dakhil Madrasah focus both on religious subjects like Quran, Hadith, Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), and Tafsir (exegesis of the Quran), as well as general subjects such as mathematics, science, and social studies.
The curriculum is structured so that students receive a balanced education that integrates Islamic teachings with contemporary academic subjects. Dakhil Madrasahs often serve as a pathway to higher religious education or general studies at the college level.
