3. Historically, Temasik belonged as part of the ancient Malay kingdom of
Langkasuka-Pattani which referred to as as “Hujung Tanah” (Tip of the
hinterland, Peninsula) or “Pulo Ujung” (island at the tip).
It was already known for its strategic position and was prized by
subsequent power of the Siamese, Srivijaya, Majapahit and the Malaka
Sultanate – long before the coming of the Western imperialists.
It was renamed SSiinnggaappuurraa bbyy aa pprriinnccee SSAANNGG NNIILLAA UUTTAAMMAA ((SSrrii MMaahhaarraajjaa

17. Generally, Islamic education is singular and comprehensive program,
which does not dichotomise the worldly concern from the religious
concern of man.
It seeks ultimately to developing of a good man, as servant of Allah.
Its primary driver – motivation - is “a religious imperative” (obligation),
as opposed to the “economic-pragmatic” considerations of today’s
education ‘industry ’.
The core in Islamic education is the religious sciences (revealed
knowledge) termed (‘ulum al-Deeniyat), which sets the whole paradigm
and purpose of a Muslims development.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011))
18. Yet , this core knowledge of the DEEN, requires a Muslim to acquire the
other knowledge (‘ulum al-ukhra) of the world and the universe termed
(‘ulum al-duniyawiyat).
The term “‘‘uukkhhrraawwiiyy ““ has been much misunderstood by Muslims here,
and wrongly applied to the knowledge of the DEEN, as though Islam’s
concern is only for the other world (Hereafter). Whereas all types of
knowledge religious and worldly are intrinsically linked, guided by a
divine command to seek every beneficial knowledge (‘ilm an-naa-fi’.)
The most importantant categorization pertains to a Muslim’s
responsibility (TAKLIF) towards these knowledge.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011))
19. Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazalie’s divides it into FARDHU-’AIN Knowledge –
knowledge which a Muslim is personally obligated to learn; and
FARDHU’ KIFAAYAH knowledge, which is obligatory upon the community
to ensure there are sufficient Muslims who possess them.
So, every Muslim must be inculcated with FARDHU-’AIN knowledge
which is intrinsically linked to knowledge of the religion (‘ULUM-UD-DEEN).
This will be quite broad and eclectic, adequately to prepare them
their needs. FARDHU ‘AIN knowlledge includes the other (AAKHAR -
UKHRA) worldly sciences and skills, in keeping with the current
standards and needs in life. Yet, it is always the (DEENIYAT) knowledge
and philosophy of Islamic education that determines how a Muslim is to
All Rigbhtes Rdeseervveed ©lo Zphuelkedfl.ee Hj Ismail (2011))
20. The FARDHU KIFAAYAH knowledge, are usually those pertaining to fields
of specialization – both worldly and religious sciences .
When the colonialists introduced conventional (secular) education, the
Muslims regarded this as useful and important for their children,
although regarding it still as insufficient ,for they needed to ensure that
the children be taught their religion too.
Thus the DUALISTIC system of education of the Muslims, one by the
national school and the other, their religious instruction. Although the
latter has to be provided for by the community itself, the Muslims have
never neglected this in every generation. Usually conducted outside their
normal school hours, at home, in madrasah, associations or in mosques.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011))
21. To ensure adequate teachers for this, that was how the traditional FULL-TIME
MADRASAH (Islamic religioius schools) begun where intensive
study of the religious sciences were conducted for a few cohorts.
The number of students is significantly small (cohorts never exceeded 4%
of total annual Muslim students), and these MADRASAH were totally
independent schools built and funded by endowment established by
Muslim philatrophists and supported through donations. Not unlike the
Seminary, the full-time MADRASAH has been producing the Islamic
religious teachers , scholars, preachers and propagators of Islam for the
community. This is in accordance with a command in the Qur’an:
