I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is the English connotative understanding of the word madrash?
All the background I'm provided with is that "A typical Islamic school usually offers two courses of study: a ḥifẓ course teaching memorization of the Qur'an (the person who commits the entire Qurʼan to memory is called a ḥāfiẓ); and an ʻālim course leading the candidate to become an accepted scholar in the community.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
