The primary task of a believer is to REFUTE Baatil in every form and every shape. Ulamah were trained in the sciences of their day to refute the Baatil in a language, shape and form of their time. Prophets (AS) inherently knew the conditions, language, culture and intellectual games of people of their times and then they were given miracles.
Akabir of Deoband knew the Kalam of their times and they used it to refute, read the Fatawa of our Akabir and you will see references to sciences and scientific developments of their time all the time.
Today (our Darul-uloom graduates) apart from exceptions are mostly unaware of the developments of their times because Dars-e-Nizami (curriculum) which they are taught is around 400 years old. The inclusive nature of Dars-e-Nizami (curriculum) at that time shows the concerns of Ulamah (of that time) about inclusive development and education of Ulamah.
