General Secretary of Teachers’ Association Madaris Arabia, Diwan Sahab Zaman Khan, said that usually Hamd (praises to Allah) and Salam (salutations to Muhammad) are recited at madrassas before the start of classes. While the national anthem was also sung in some madrasas, it was not compulsory. But now it has been made mandatory, he added.
It is notable that singing of national anthem was made mandatory in UP madrasas on 24th March 2022 as the decision was taken in a meeting of the Uttar Pradesh Madrassa Education Board.
