Jami'a Nooriyya is an Arabic College, or an educational institute of higher religious learning, the equivalent of north Indian madrasa, located at Pattikkad, near Perinthalmanna in Malappuram district, Kerala. Established in 1963 by Samastha Kerala Jam'iyyat al-'Ulama', it is the premier orthodox or traditionalist Sunni-Shafi'i institution for the training of the Islamic scholars in Kerala.[1]
Jami'a Nooriyya is managed by Samastha Kerala Jam'iyyat al-'Ulama', the principal Sunni-Shafi'i scholarly body in Kerala. The institute carries forward the old Ponnani tradition of the Makhdums.[2] The curriculum used at Jami'a Nooriyya is a modified version of the one utilized at the al-Baqiyyat-us-Salihat College at Vellore (with Shafi'i Law for Hanafi Law).[1]
Jami'a Nooriyya celebrates its anniversary in February–March of every year.[3]
