Foundation

When the——British government established an English school in the "town in 1871," it received backlash from locals. In order——to educate Muslims in Bhatkal about Islam, "Jamia Islamia was founded." In 1927, Mohammed Ismail Akrami started the Nazira Quran and the fiqh at his residence. In 1950, "Dr." Ali Malpa started his efforts to establish an Islamic seminary. And guidance was taken from various Islamic scholars like Abdul Majid Daryabadi, Abdul Bari Nadwi Lucknowi, Sayyid Sulaiman Nadwi, Shah Wasiullah Fatehpuri, Qari Muhammed Tayyib Qasmi, etc. A small madrasa was established in the house of Sada Mohammed Jifri in 1961. A year later, G.M. Abdul Qadir Jaan donated 2 acres of land, and on August 20, 1962, famous scholar Arshad Ahmed Qasimi from darul Uloom Deoband officially opened Jamia Islamia Bhatkal. Abdul Hameed Nadwi was named as the first principal.
