Abstract
The pursuit of knowledge has been a key characteristic of the Muslim civilization. Madrasas as institutes of learning have remained a central part of the Muslim society throughout history. Different phases in Islamic history, posed different challenges to the Muslim community in general and ulama in particular. Response of the ulama to these challenges shaped the Muslim ideas and cultural norms. From the fall of Baghdad to the invasion of Western modernity, from challenges of the Western domination to the ideological divide of the cold war and finally the unipolarity of the post cold war era to the war on terror of the post 9/11 era ; the challenges continue to confront the Muslim civilization .The response of ulama to these challenges remained crucial for the Muslim world at large.
