World's oldest university is in Egypt (Al-Azhar). In the middle ages, Europe's centre of education was in Andalus, the Muslim-ruled Iberian peninsula and it was a sign of prestiege if any Christian European was able to study in Granada or Qurtuba (Cordoba), not that there were many education facilities at that time anyway.

The question is: did Malacca have any madrasah? Obviously you don't know much about history. Western historians highly value ancient madrasah education in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, while you seem to diss it.

Malaysia maintained ties with China and India and possibly Yemen. However, those ties were more or less trade only. The reason why Malacca was left behind is because it was not a highly civilised culture. While other places built magnificent buildings, mosques over a millenium old survive until today, Malaysia's oldest mosques are from the colonial period, and the oldest buildings in historical city of Malacca were built by the Portuguese.

Simply Malays were not interested to travel to other places and learn something new. Malacca civilisation never embraced Islam on a full scale, they kept many pre-Islamic tradition. Seems that the people in Malacca sultanate were too self-impressed to build a civilisation. Luckily the times have changed, Malays and Malaysians send people to other countries for education, but things are not half as grand as portrayed officially. Malaysia still has a long way to go.

i have no idea because i didn't there in the era.
my friend, madrasah is an arabic word for school where formal education is taught, so please learn the language. AQ is right AlAzhar is the first University. Western civilization is derived from Islamic civilization. I think you need to read more history book rather than wasting time in YA. I'm telling the truth and the truth sucks.

Infact many of their descendants, even in this new millennium still think Knowledge (ilmu) = religious education. For them real knowledge doesn't have much value compared to religious knowledge.

This groups mission & ambition in life is to reverse the mentality of the whole humanity and bring them backward 1400 years (to year 600). They started this backward march some 20 years ago and they seems to be doing a very good job. The future indeed seems like the past.

Cause during that time most of the people learn by experience. Most of them wanted their next generation to take over the empire they build by following their foot step. The most common practice is to follow the old man & learn.

macam bagus la mamat ni ... we've gone through several wars and internal conflict and poverty ... now we are improving and everything will take time ... and don't blame Malacca Sultanate ...blame your own ancestor ... it got nothing to do with madarasah ... madarasah is the centre for Islamic Teaching and every religion got their own place for teaching ... don't compare our country with Paris or any other western civilization because for them 'the end justify the means' ... and we don't

even most Europeans and Chinese were not getting significant amounts of eduation at that time. Education was very much an upper-class luxury at the time.
