The importance of education as the prerequisite of Islamic reform was, in fact, also recognized by two 19th. century Muslim reformers, namely, Muhammad Abduh from Egypt and Ahmad Khan from India. Abduh, who was born in 1849 in a fellah family, recognized the inadequacies of the system of education imported to Muslim student as a result of studying at al-Azhar. The subjects taught at this university were only classical Arabic work of dogmatic theology, Moreover, the method of teaching was such that Abduh, recalling his student life, once wrote that the Shyaikh, in giving lectures, spoke as if he spoke a foreign language. This condition was further aggravated by the conservative Shaykhs who abhorred change and improvement and, therefore, opposed any enlargementt of the curriculum of al-Azhar. } }
