| Samastha Kerala Jam-Iyyathul Ulama |
The conal uncil of eminent Muslim scholars established in 1926 to serve the religious needs of Muslims in Kerala state of India. It has been organising remarkable activities through its multifaceted organisationalset up to empower the social, educatioand cultural status of the entire Muslim community as it strives to nurture a better society keeping their true Islamic values.
Samastha leaders organised a host of public conferences at various places to spread their message. Facing an opposition of secularly educated people, journalists, advocates and neo-scholars who had been fruitfully utilising all means from public meetings to publications to propagate their reformist ideologies and to brand traditionalists as courting shirk, Samastha leaders were compelled to come out to defend themselves against the allegations and to explain its views. Systematically held public conferences and anniversaries increased Samastha’s popularity, kept the majority of Mappila Muslims in their fold, and restricted the inroads of reformist ideologies.
Samastha’s ideological battle against its multi-faceted opponents was waged mainly through its widely discussed resolutions adopted in each public conferences, and decisions taken at Mushawara meetings.
The entire credit of any progress in religious education of Kerala Muslims compared to other states of India is entitled to the novel idea of Madrasa run by All Kerala Muslim Educational Board (Samastha Kerala Islam Matha Vidyabhyasa Board). A fully systematic style and a constructive method of education was followed and strictly practiced by the Board and the result was a giant leap in the field.
Though the central Mushawara of Samastha is a body of not more than 40 eminent scholars of the period, Samastha expanded its service through a number of sub-organisations under its authority.
