Constitutional Right:

Under section (1) of article 30, Indian constitution gives right to minorities to establish their own educational institutions.

Cultural Homogeneity:

Constitution is a means to an end and not an end in itself. It is written and implemented to achieve long-lasting peace and harmony in the society. India being the largest democracy in the world allows - through the above article - all Indian citizens the right to raise their children as per their own cultural identity and religious values. This great fundamental right/freedom enables Muslims, if they choose to, bringing-up their children in pure religious environment.

Social Benefits:

Complete understanding of one’s own religion makes the followers of a religion a better ambassador thereby avoiding cultural/religious misgivings widely prevalent between various communities. The need to dispel such doubts appears more now than ever before. Objective inter-faith dialogues can be conducted only on strong intellectual foundation which is possible through structured religious education only.

Economic Benefits:

As most faith-based institutions are of non-commercial nature, they tend to provide high quality education at affordable price. This is not purely economic benefit but has long-term social implications as well. For instance, if millions of Rupees are spent in providing school education followed by more millions in taking a child through the university, then it will necessarily have two outcomes 

1. a vast majority will remain deprived as they are struggling for even two square meals and
2. a small minority that can afford high-cost education will go out of the way to recover these millions by every possible means.

Usually, but not always, this heavy initial investment forms the basis of greed and corruption that we encounter in our daily lives.

Upholding Secularism:

Different geographies define ‘secularism’ differently.  In our country, it is defined as ‘freedom to practice ones own religion’. Establishing faith-based schools for the benefit of the largest minority in India is akin to upholding its secular credentials.

Religious Obligation:

Last but not the least, gaining religious education is not optional in Islam. Providing comprehensive religious education from a young age is a well-articulated obligation on every Muslim, according to Qur’an and Hadees.  Most of our moral deficiencies are a result of setting ourselves free from comprehensive Islamic education (just reading Qur’an and offering prayers are proving inadequate). Consequently, we are paying a hefty price in this life and (Allah forbids) setting stage for ourselves and our coming generations for the same in the Life After.
