The Arab scholars have done extensive work on various aspects of this language. The sub continent is no exception and a great many books related to Arabic language,grammar, prosody are written. Sheikh Nizam Uddin b.Allama Qutbuddin Sihalwi Ansai, the founder of Dars e Nizami (1161-1748 Hijri) had consciously included Arabic language books for the same purpose. A number of Persian books are also on the curriculum. Various scholars mention the need to revise the Dars e Nizami curriculum to tailor it to contemporary needs and requirements. This article offers a brief critical review of Allama Abu al Kalam’s proposed amendments in Darsc e Nizami in order to revitalize it and adapt it to modern day requirements.
