Jamia Nooriyya Arabiyya  

The message of Islam was reached in Kerala soon after the same was spread in Arabia. According to the facts recorded on wooden slab in Madayi Mosque in North Kerala the message of Islam was reached in Kerala during the 5^th year of Hijra.

Apart from other parts of India peoples of Kerala heartily welcomed Islam and therefore Muslim priests and leaders use to visit Kerala from ancient year for preaching and teaching Islam. Sheikh Ibnu Hajarul Haithami, the Usthad of Zainudheen Makhdhoom 2^nd, was the author of Fath-hul-Mueen. Zainudheen Makhdoom 2^nd was Mudarris of Ponnani Mosque. Students from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia etc.learned under him. This was continued for many years.

Thereafter the importance of Ponnani was gone and the Muslim religious students longing higher studies began to go outside Kerala seeking admission in institutions such as "Velloor Bakhiathussalihath". Major percentage of students could not complete their higher studies due to financial and climate problems.

Leaders of Islam in Kerala and Samastha Kerala Jam-Iyyathul Ulama supervising the religious matters in Kerala thought about starting a Higher Education centre in Kerala. Demised K.V. Moiduttyman alias Bappu Haji heard about the starting of Higher Education centre and Bappu Haji approached the Samastha Leaders and Marhoom Sayyid Abdurahiman Bafaqui Thangal who was visiting various parts of Kerala seeking suitable place for starting the institution and promised that he desires to donate his entire property if the Headquarters of the institution is at Pattikkad. The promise of Bappu Haji was accepted and a committee namely "Samastha Kerala Jam-Iyyathul Ulama Arabic college Committee" was formed under the Samastha Kerala Jam-Iyyathul Ulama. Marhoom K.V Bappu Haji donated his entire property consisting of more than 140 Acres of land including yielding coconut gardens and paddy fields etc.

            College namely "Jamia Nooriya Arabic College" was started functioning at Rahmaniya Masjid donated by K.V. Bappu Haji on 22^nd Shawal 1382 by Hon.Kuthubi Muhammed Musliyar teaching Thuhfathul Muhthaj. Marhoom Ahmed Shibhabudheen Imbichi Koya Thangal laid the foundation stone of the College building on 3^rd February 1963 and the building was inaugurated on 12^th November 1964 by Shihabudheen Imbichi Koya Thangal himself witnessing thousands of Muslims. The first Bach consisting of 26 students completed their course and they were awarded with the degree of "Moulavi Fazil Faizy" on 2^nd December 1965.

          At starting there was only 30 students. Now the total strength is 387. Up to this year 5401 students were awarded with the degree of "Moulavi Fazil Faizy". 160 students have completed their course this year and they will be awarded with the degree on the day of Anniversary conducting on 08-01-2012.

          Sayyid Muhammed Ali Shihab Thangal who was the President of this Institution demised on 1-8-2009 and his brother Sayyid Hydarali Shihab Thangal the then Secretary was elected as president. Sayyid Sadikali Shihab Thangal is now the Secretary. Haji K.Mammed Faizi and P.Abdul Hameed Master are Joint Secretaries. Treasurer is Janab Kakkodan Moosa Haji.

          Sheikh K.Alikkutty Musliyar is the Principal of the College. Who was the Vice Chairman of Hajj Committee of India. Sheikh Kalambady Muhammed Musliyar is the Vice Principal of this institution who is also the President of "Samastha Kerala Jam-Iyyathul Ulama". Sheikh M.K Moideen Kutty Musliyar, Sheikh A.P Muhammed Musliyar, Sheikh P.Kunhani Musliyar, Sheikh K.T Muhammed Ali Shihab Faizy, Sheikh P. Sulaiman Faizy and Saleem Faizi Porora are Professors of the College.

          Degree holders out gone from this College are serving Islam by preaching and teaching the principles of Islam all over the world especially in Gulf Countries. Jamia Nooriya Arabic College has developed as a prestigious institution of Muslims in South India and it has high influence among the Muslims. Most among Mahallu authorities desire to have a Faizy for leading them in religious matters in their Mahallu. Every year Soon after the final examination is over Mahllu authorities use to visit this College for recruiting Degree holders as Khatheebs, Mudarises, Khazies etc. It is proud to state that no Degree holder of this College is wandering about for employment. It is by the grace of Allah the almighty due to the sincerity and prayer of the founders of this institution.
