The reason of naming the trust as Jamia-Ul-Uloom, Jamia Masjid Fund Trust:

Generally the mosque committees are formed only to solve the common problems of the mosque. But “Muslim Charitable Fund Trust” was established along with the trust of the Jamia Masjid City, because we did not want our mosque to be just a mosque, our aim was to make this mosque a center of all muslim activities, mosque should also solve the problems of common muslim and become a learning center for muslims. We wanted to impart education to those muslim children who could not go to school due to financial constraints, we wanted to educate such children with the financial assistance from the muslim charitable fund and educate them in our school and madrasa.

The beginning of Jamia-ul-uloom: This madrasa was started in 1982 with only two students. The trust worked hard, and I can never forget the services of Hazrath Moulana Riyazur Rahman Saheb, Khateeb-O-Imam Jamia Masjid, Bangalore city, who motivated people with his sermons, and more and more people come towards Jamia Masjid. The sermons of Moulana were so powerful and so inspiring and that, people who did not want to educate there children admitted their children to Jamia-ul-uloom. In the success of Jamia-ul-uloom, Moulana Riyazur Rehman played the most important role. We pray Allah show his blessings on Moulana.

In 1986, there were two halls in the west side of the mosque. We started Nursery classes in these halls with prayers, this nursery is now a college. Gradually we established a tailoring institute, a calligraphy center and a Computer institute in the mosque.

Jamia-Ul-Uloom, Shikshanagar(Bannikuppe) : as we felt many hurdles in imparting standard to students in the busy life of the city, the trust plan for establishing a residential school away from the city, that children are educated in a peaceful atmosphere. Allah helped the trust to purchase 52 hectares of land at a cost of only Rs. 13.5 lakhs which is 27 Km from the city.
