On August 3, 1985 the Minister of Education, Beshir Haj el Tom, opened the sessions of a four-day conference on "Islamic Education Lessons" organised by the Islamic African Centre (IAC) in Khartoum. Among the main participants were figures from the IAC, University of Khartoum, University of Gezira, Omdurman Islamic University and Bakht el Ruda Institute. Papers discussed covered a variety of issues, namely: the goals of the educational process, the role of Islamic education in achieving these goals, the syllabus and the surrounding environment.

Islamic basic religious instruction (mektebs) and Islamic secondary schools (medresas) have flourished in socialist Yugoslavia since the 1960s, and a Faculty of Islamic Theology was opened in Sarajevo in 1977. Following the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, religious education classes, placed under the responsibility of the main religious communities, have been introduced in 1994 into Bosnian primary and secondary schools. Since then, their confessional (separate) character has been a target of criticism. The international community and part of Bosnian civil society insist on replacing religious education by an inter-confessional subject called "Culture of Religions." At the same time, the Bosnian Islamic Community (Islamska zajednica - IZ) has opened several medresas and two Islamic Pedagogical Faculties, Medresas underwent an important transformation from vocational schools to general secondary schools with an Islamic moral milieu and lifestyle, while Islamic faculties are institutions training religious personnel and contributing to the (re-)definition of Islam in Bosnia and, possibly, in Europe.

Abstract Conventionally perceived as a geographical and civilisational periphery of the Muslim world, Indonesia has recently pursued an Islam-based diplomatic narrative that aims to promote itself as a model democratic Muslim-majority country, upholding religious pluralism and tolerance. This paper analyses the educational dimension of this Islamic soft power policy, which has been overlooked by the academic literature. It argues that the extroversion of Indonesian Islamic education—defined as the switch from an inward-looking perspective to a strategy of exporting this sector beyond Indonesia's borders, while upholding the narrative of its national distinctiveness—aims at fostering the authoritativeness of Indonesian Islam, enhancing the nation's standing within the Muslim world and, more broadly, bolstering the image of Indonesian Islam as inherently moderate and pluralist, which serves both domestic and foreign policy purposes. At the same time, extroversion seeks to legitimise local Islamic practices that have become increasingly challenged by external and, in particular, Wahhabi influences. By mapping out historical trajectories and current developments of the Indonesian Islamic educational sphere, we argue that future research on Indonesia's position within and relationship to the Muslim world—and particularly the country's Islamic soft power strategy—must consider Islamic educational institutes and their intellectual milieux as distinct actors in global religious and political competition.
