Deputy PM calls for addition of modern studies in madrasas
Mawlavi Abdul Kabir, political deputy of the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), said on Tuesday that the curriculum of madrasas is an important issue that still requires professional work and in addition to religious studies, modern studies should also be included.
Speaking in a meeting with a group of religious scholars and teachers, Abdul Kabir considered the increase of religious schools important and added that the government also pays special attention to religious schools within the framework of the Ministry of Education.
According to a statement issued by Arg, the scholars and teachers said in the meeting that efforts have been made on the curriculum of religious schools.
Abdul Jalil Mujadadi, one of the scholars, referring to the economic situation of religious schools, asked the government to take effective steps to solve the problems of religious institutions.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Works announced on Wednesday that based on the order of the leader of the Islamic Emirate, the ministry will build 75 mosques on highways across 28 provinces.
Mohammad Ashraf Haqshenas, the spokesman of the ministry, said on X that each mosque will have the capacity of 300 worshipers at a time.
The Islamic Emirate has announced that it will not participate in the upcoming meeting of special envoys of regional countries on Afghanistan, scheduled to be held in Tehran, despite having received an invitation.
In a statement, Zia Ahmad Takal, Head of Information and Public Relations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the Islamic Emirate has maintained continuous and active engagement with all regional countries through various organizations, regional formats, and bilateral mechanisms, achieving notable progress in promoting mutual understanding and regional cooperation.
The statement added that Afghanistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes regional cooperation should be advanced by strengthening existing mechanisms and formats within the region.
Tehran is set to host the meeting next week, with special envoys from Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, China, and Russia expected to attend.
Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani, Minister of Interior of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, said during a visit to Khost province on Friday that any government which rules through fear cannot be considered a true government.
“A government is one that is loved by its people, one that serves them with respect and compassion, and from whose behavior people learn ethics and sincerity,” he said.
Haqqani also stressed that Afghans who opposed the Islamic Emirate in the past should be tolerated and treated in a way that helps eliminate hostility and animosity, paving the way for national cohesion.
Noor Jalal Jalali, Afghanistan’s Minister of Public Health, is likely to visit India next week, Indian newspaper Tribune reported.
Jalali will be the third minister from the Islamic Emirate to visit India, following Amir Khan Muttaqi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Nooruddin Azizi, Minister of Industry and Commerce.
The visit comes as health cooperation between the two countries expands. New Delhi is currently supporting major medical infrastructure projects in Afghanistan and supplying medicines and vaccines to strengthen public health services.
Although India does not formally recognize the Islamic Emirate, it has recently sought to deepen its engagement with Kabul.
