The Madrasa Misbah-ul-Quran in New Seelampur is one of those new age institutes - the location of the building and its facade belie this - that teach the 26 alphabets of the English language along with the same number of Arabic Quaida (alphabets) to its students because, as Hakeem Ataur Rehman who teaches in the madrasa during the time he can spare from his thriving Unani practice says, modern skills, like proficiency in English or knowing the basics of the computer are as important as becoming a hafeez (one who knows the entire Quran by heart) or a maulana (title after eight years of madrasa education) or a mufti (title after ten years).
