Applying the dominant object test, the Tribunal held that a trust whose deed showed education, scholarships, libraries and relief to the poor remained a public charitable trust even though it proposed Arabic, Islamic and Quranic instruction through a madarasa. Academic teaching of those subjects was treated as education, not religious worship, rituals or propagation, and the use of Islamic expressions or land linked to a masjid was insufficient to make the trust religious.
