Dars-e-Nizami is the traditional Islamic curriculum that was designed and launched by Mulla Nizamuddin Sihalvi in the 18th century at the Farangi Mahal seminary in Lucknow. This curriculum became the standard syllabus for madrasas across the Indian subcontinent and is still widely followed today. It covers subjects such as Arabic grammar, logic, philosophy, jurisprudence, and Quranic exegesis.
Mulla Nizamuddin Sihalvi (1677–1748) belonged to a family of scholars from Sihali near Lucknow. The Farangi Mahal, where Dars-e-Nizami was developed, was a famous seat of Islamic learning gifted to the family by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The curriculum was praised for its balanced approach between rational sciences (ma'qulat) and transmitted sciences (manqulat), and it significantly influenced Islamic education throughout South Asia.
