Jamia-ul-uloom

A Revolutionary movement

Jamia-ul-uloom was established about twenty years ago with only two students. Since then its growth development and progress has been rapid, astonishing and most exemplary. Today it has grown into a massive institution imparting knowledge to about 3,500 students.

The Jamia-ul-uloom complex has classes from nursery to computer training, and students start coming from 7am and the institute closes at about 10.30pm.

In the Hifze Quran department boys and girls both are becoming Hafiz and Hafiza. In this contest the Jamia-ul-uloom at Jamia Masjid (city) is not just a school it is a revolutionary movement. It is the most glaring example for the Muslims of Karnataka in particular and Muslims of India in general.

The roots of this institute are in Masjid-E-Nabvi, from where knowledge spread to the every part of the world. It is from Masjid-e-Nabvi, the Holy Prophet Hazrath Mohammed (S.A.W) spread the message of universal brotherhood, revealed the Holy Quran and reformed the whole society.

The Holy prophet and his companions underwent every types of hardship, built the Masjid-e-Nabvi, because Namaz is obligatory for all Muslims, a true Muslim just cannot neglect Namaz. And the “Suffa” was constructed to spread knowledge. As a Muslim’s life is waste without Namaz, without knowledge, a Muslim’s life is worst than death. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) has said, “ the life of an ignorant and illiterate person is not life but death.”

The companions of the Holy Prophet would learn about the Holy Quran and various other aspects of life from the Prophet at the Masjid-e-Nabvi.

From these facts we can easily conclude that Masjid-e-Nabvi was not constructed only for Namaz, the other purpose was to spread knowledge from this platform (Suffa), Masjid-e-Nabvi attended to all the problems faced by Muslims. At the time of Namaz all would form rows and say their Namaz and after namaz teaching sessionswere conducted at the Masjid-e-Nabvi, and the suffa was the permanent seat of few students, they used to learn about various subjects from the Holy Prophet, they would also undergo training in horse riding and other skills of war. But alas, today the Muslims are ignorant about the role of the Mosque, they think Mosque is meant just for 5 times namaz. This thinking totally wrong and against the philosophy of construction of Masjid-e-Nabvi.

Jamia-ul-uloom situated at Jamia Masjid (city) is a movement, to remind the Muslims about the role of mosque in the society. This movement intends to make the muslims realize that today if muslims are backward in the field of education, it is only because they are staying away from the Mosque. The mosques are abodes of Allah, where Allah is to be remembered, Allah’s message and the message of his Prophet is to be taught , the principles of life and world taught by the Prophet(S.A.W) should be taught, the people should be taught the ways of life taught by Holy Prophet(S.A.W) in the Masjid-e-Nabvi, and all these teachings should be imparted in contemporary methods of teaching. So as to save our younger generations from the evils of the world. Today schools and various institutions are being established to impart western culture and English language, in these places all types of corrupt vulgar thoughts and views are being spread among our children. Is it not our duty to save our children from this moral disaster by establishing schools and institutes to impart the best of education in a total Islamic atmosphere. Let us assemble at the Mosques, let us make these mosque centers of learning, let us spread the Quranic teachings and these Hadees from the Mosques, let us impart education from nursery to Hitech at there centers.

Let us educate our children in a total Islamic atmosphere, let us make them good persons, good doctors and good engineers. All these aims can be realized only if muslims adopt this movement, make every Mosque a true copy of Masjid-e-Nabvi. Today we can proudly say Jamia-Masjid has set an example in this direction and if all Muslims follow this example muslims can progress in the field of education.
