Sufi educational institutions such as ribat, khanqah and zawiyah are one of a long series of Islamic educational institution development. The emergence of those institutions is less popular than other Islamic educational institutions such as kuttab, masjid khan, madrasah, etc. However, ribat, khanqah, and zawiyah belong to outstanding educational institution at their age, so there are many positive things that can be learned from those institutions.Learning from other educational institutions does not always do the same way they did in the past, because a good educational institution is the one which can response the world challenge at the time being. Therefore, if it is impossible to imitate their educational system, at least we can learn and imitate their spirit in developing Islamic educational institutions.
