Welcome to Al Jamia Al Islamiya
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Al Jamia Al Islamiya set out on a brave new journey on a road less travelled. In 1955, the erstwhile Islamiya College Santhapuram marked a new beginning by fusing together a holistic interdisciplinary Islamic educational paradigm that combined Islamic tenets of knowledge with futuristic modern education. This unique model set the tone and tenor for an Islamic educational renaissance in Kerala. Much has changed since then. In 2003, the institution was upgraded to the status of an Islamic University, officially declared by the world-renowned Islamic scholar late Sheikh Dr. Yusuf Al Qaradawi.

Message From The Rector
All knowledge is God-given. The beginning of knowledge is the knowledge that Allah gave to Adam, the first man, who then knew all the names. Later man developed that knowledge using the intelligence given by Allah. Knowledge that Revealed from the Almighty (Wah’y) is the root of the human knowledge, the source of all knowledge, and the light that guides all knowledge. Al Jamia Al Islamia represents that light. Its purpose is to enable Knowledge Production based on Revealed Knowledge. In this sense, it performs a great task in the society. If you look at the legacy of the last 68 years, you will be convinced that Al Jamia is an institution that has achieved great success in the execution of the above mission. You know it by the ‘products’ it creates. They aptly represent Al Jamia’s vision of Scholarly Leadership – Scholarly leaders, scholars capable of leadership, moderns capable of interacting with the new world, mujaddids capable of reforming the religion… There are still miles to go to reach the goal, and with everyone’s prayers and cooperation, all dreams will come true, Almighty wills.
