Abstract

This paper explores the media's depiction of Madrasa education in Pakistan. Madras education is confronted with significant challenges in the modern world as it grapples with the persistent issues of radicalism and terrorism. This paper explores the challenges that Pakistan has faced since the 9/11 incident, including economic, religious, social, and political crises. These challenges have created a complex situation for the citizens of Pakistan. In the modern arena, Madaras are often associated with the production of Taliban, terrorism, and radicalism. This paper adopts a qualitative approach, with the researcher utilizing the library method for data collection. The data has been gathered from a wide range of secondary and scholarly sources, such as books, articles, journals, and websites. The data was presented thoughtfully using thematic analysis. It reveals that Pakistan has experienced a continuous state of adversity and challenges since the 9/11 incident. These difficulties have had a detrimental impact on its socio-economic, cultural, religious, political, and developmental aspects.
