Jadidism-1.docx2
Professor FEEDBACK:Good starting point. I would recommend 1) narrowing your focus a little bit and focus on a very specific question (maktabs are a good one); and 2) avoid falling into the trap of romanticizing the Jadids and treating them as being more important than they might have been in reality.
Jadidism
Jadidism is a group of Islamic reformists that formed in the former Soviet Union in the late 19th century and early 20th century. They saw themselves as progressive youth intellectuals who believed that they were needed to ‘rectify’ the Islamic faith and its believers. They used print media to air their ideologies and their beliefs spread to as far as central Asia, where which there are members who practice this faith of modern knowledge to ‘liberate’ Islam.
Jadidism has faded so much in the world and in its concentrated areas. However, it is important to look at the role in which Jadidism played in modern Islamic practices today. There reforms, especially on education where they called for new educational reforms different from the ones taught in ‘maktabs’ was a worthy opinion. When looking into Jadidism, it is important to know whether it was relevant to modern Islamic practices and if their reforms were strong arguments that needed to be looked at.
