History...

Chennamangallur Al Madrasatul Islamiya was the first religious institution founded by the Islamic movement in Kerala in 1952. When KC Abdullah Moulavi and a team of dedicated Islamic activists came up with the idea of establishing a full-time religious school, their governing motive was a complete overhaul of the traditional religious Madrasa system that had failed to stand the test of time. The system that was prevalent then laid emphasis on a rote learning of the Quran, ignoring its semantic and interpretative possibilities. The traditional madrasas used the hybrid Arabi-Malayalam as their medium and confined their instruction to a few fundamental aspects of religious observances. In contrast, the new full-time, five-year madrasa syllabus included a comprehensive study of the entire Quran with meaning and interpretation, Arabic language and grammar, and Riyalussaliheen ( a collection of Hadeeth), besides languages like English, Urdu and Malayalam plus Mathematics and General Knowledge. It also incorporated a study of Islamic Fiqh in Malayalam. The phenomenal success of the new project prompted the authorities to upgrade the Madrasa to a college. The establishment of the Islamiya College in 1960 marked the realization of this dream (The institution was renamed Islahiya College in 1967).

    Though the Madrasa offered instruction to both boys and girls, there was no religious school catering exclusively to girls anywhere in Kerala. The fulltime Madrasatul Banat founded for girls at Chennamangallur in 1960 was the first of its sort in the state. Chennamangallur Al Madrasatul Islamiya Managing committee was responsible for running a host of institutions like Al Madrasatul Islamiya, Madrasatul Banat, and Islamiya College. Chennamangallur High School was founded under Al Madrasatul Islamiya Managing committee, in 1964. In 1967 the local Madrasa committee was expanded into a charitable society by including members from other parts of Kerala. KC Abdulla Moulavi and PC Muhammad Sagheer Moulavi were respectively the president and the secretary of the society that was renamed and duly registered as Islahiya Association. The society was now in charge of all the assets and institutions of the earlier committee. The aim of the association is the establishment and running of educational institutions that combine spiritual and material education. Mr. O. Abulrahiman (Chennamangallur) is currently the president and Mr. K. Hussein (Chennamangallur) the secretary of the association. The association, affiliated to Majlisutaleemul Islami, has the official recognition of the Home Ministry of Govt. of India as well as such international bodies like Zakath House Kuwait, Qatar Charitable Society, and World Assembly of Muslim Youth (Riyad).
