| Abstract | According to contemporary media opinion, the problem with Islam, and by implication, with Islamic education, is that it never underwent a reformation that freed individual religious inquiry from the control of a religious hierarchy. Thus, it has been assumed that Islam and Islamic education remain bound to rigid seventh-century codes of belief. This opinion is indicative of Eurocentric assumptions and is subject to considerable scholarly debate. First, Islam was never controlled by a single authoritative hierarchy or body; there existed great diversity of belief from early times, and religious personnel served as repositories of oral literature and as legal advisors rather than as absolute moral authorities. Second, many of the religious practices and legal principles that constitute Islam evolved over time as the product of constant reform and adjustment. One period of reformation occurred in nineteenth-century Egypt. This reformation involved transformative debate over the purpose and methods of Islamic education, accentuating existing traditions of individual religious interpretation and fostering additional sects and splinter groups. ... In this article [the author discusses] these developments, drawing on archival research conducted in Egypt's Dar al-Kutub and the Azhariyya in 1995-96 and 1998. [The author emploies] a theoretical model borrowed from Timothy Mitchell's Colonising Egypt, in which the nineteenth-century transformation of educational and legal patterns in Egypt is understood as "enframing," a conceptual colonization that replaces an old "invisible" order with a new order that renders its components and inhabitants visible and quantifiable.
