In Ethiopia, like the Christian education, Islamic education has been playing a significant rolernin the literacy development of the country. However, insignificant scholarly works have so farrnbeen produced and disclosed the real legacy of schooling system in Muslim education. So, thernprimary purpose of the study is to describe and analyze the nature of some of the educationalrnpractices of Islamic education in Bati Azhar Mesjid from the points of view of its legacy andrnbenefits for modern education. Many of the ideas were dealt with the works of Ahmed (2008)rnand Muhiddin(2010) on another setting. The intention of the writer is based on thernassumption that although certain characteristics of education seem to be similar, somernpractices may differ as the social groups differ from each other. In order to reach the intendedrnresult ethnographic case study was employed. In the course of the study, all the necessaryrninformation was gathered using open ended interview, focus group discussion andrnobservation. Based on these methods information was collected from the Sheikh and Daressasrn(students) of the school. Besides, former students and community members were includedrnthrough snow ball sampling. The findings of the study showed that, the teacher taught byrnworking with small groups (sherika) of students who were at the same level in their studies.rnBesides, students also allowed to attend courses as per their pace. Regarding evaluation, therernwas no formal test, only the demonstration of masterly- reading, answering, reasoning andrnexecuting of responsibilities properly. Corporal punishment was non existent, advises andrnoffering responsibilities were widely used to remedy mis-behavior and to punish a student forrnnot studying well. In short, in the school, education was offered in a pedagogical approachrnthat has fundamental similarities with the inventions and recommendations of many modernrneducators. Hence, giving attention for the domestic traditional schools legacy can offer manyrngeniuses of pedagogical principles in the state contemporary modern secular education
