The Muslim educational institutions are attached to the Mosques. Elucidating the Islamic theme of education Gupta writes "Like the Hindu, the Muslim also had two types of institutions, Maqtabas, and Madarssahs. The Maqtaba was generally attached to the mosque and responsible for the objective of teaching and to provide basic education (Read and Write, Specially to read the Holy Quran) to the boys and girls in the religious manner. The Madrassah was an institution of the higher education just like Tol and Pathshala in Hindu religion and the Vihars in Buddhist. The Madrassahs offers the subjects like grammar, Philosophy and History.

The Muslim rulers established many Maqtabas, Madarssahs, and Libraries etc, that period education was imparted for the propagation of Islamic principles, Law, and social convention.
