Jamia Arabia Masoodia Noorul Uloom, also known as Noorul Uloom Bahraich, is the oldest Islamic saminary belonging to the Deobandi school of thought in the Bahraich City of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
History
[edit]Jamia Arabia Masoodia Noorul Uloom (then Madrasa Arabia Noorul Uloom) was founded in Qazipura, Bahraich, on 1 Dhu al-Qadah 1349 AH (29 March 1931 AD) by Mahfoozur Rahman Nami, after the demise of his father Noor Muhammad Bahraichi, on the suggestion of Khwaja Khalil Ahmad Shah, a freedom fighter and political leader of the Indian Congress Party in Bahraich.[3][4][5][6][7] At the time of independence, Nami also founded a modern educational institution, Maulana Azad Noorul Uloom High School, now known as Azad Inter College, in Bahraich in 1948 for the promotion and dissemination of contemporary studies.[8][9][10]
In January 1937, the seminary established a private school teaching leather goods manufacturing under the name Noorul Uloom for the Economic Development of Underprivileged Muslim Youth, which was also given an annual grant of Rs. 600 by the government through the Department of Industries.[11][12]
Graduates there are known by the suffix Noori.[13][14]
In the Independence movement
[edit]The people of this seminary have also participated in the independence movement in India. In connection with the Quit India Movement, Salamatullah Baig Qasmi, a former principal of the madrasa, went to jail. Kaleemullah Noori, a former working rector of the saminary, in his student days, on the instructions of his teachers, joined Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha movement in 1941, and in this connection, he had to spend more than a year in the jails of Bahraich and Gonda. He worked under the Quit India Movement in 1942 in order to remain associated with the freedom movement until the independence of India. Both of them were given the title of freedom fighter during the ministry of Indira Gandhi.[15][16]
Administration
[edit]The first rector of the institution was Muhammad Ehsanul Haq[17] and the current rector of the institution is Zubair Ahmad Qasmi.[1]
Abdul Hafeez Balyawi, the author of the bilingual Arabic-Urdu dictionary Misbahul Lughat[18][19][20] and the third editor of Monthly Darul Uloom,[21][22] was an academic staff member and the warden (Arabic: ناظر الكلية) of the seminary.[23][24]
