The Western nations launched an unrelenting attack on Islam from all directions-the philosophy, history,
literature, science, politics and culture.
Sectional Jealousy :
While the Islamic Millat was passing through these highly critical times, the Millat itself was torn between two
groups-the modern' and the orthodox'. The former group had developed a blind faith in Western sciences and
civilization. It stood for the total and uncritical adoption of the Western system of instruction and education.
The dangers of this situation were realised by some sincere and far-sighted religious scholars. They possessed
wisdom and a vision that was broad and enlightened. They came from Shaikh-ul-islam Hazrat Shah Waliullah's
line of disciples. The guide and leader of this earnest group of men was Maulana Mohammed Ali Mongeri who
was an outstanding theologian and spiritual mentor of his time. He had been the most favourite student of Maulana
Lutfullah Saheb of Aligarh and was the Khalifa-i-Majaz Spiritual successor of Maulana Shah Fazlur Rahman
of Gani Moradabad.
On the occasion of convocation of MADARSA FAIZ-E-AAM, Kanpur in 1893 A.D.(1310 Hijri), scholars like
Maulana Lutfullah Aligarhi, Maulana Hafiz Shah Muhammad Hussain Allahabadi, Maulana Ashraf Ali
Thanwi, Maualana Muhammad Khalil Ahmad (Deoband), Maualana Sanaullah Amritsari, Maulana Noor
Muhammad Punjabi, Maualana Ahmad Hasan Kanpuri, Maulana Syed Muhammad Ali Kanpuri, Shaikhul-
Hind Maulana Mahmud Hasan, Maulana Shah Sulaiman Phulwari, Maualana Zahurul Islam Fatehpuri,
Maualan Abdul Ghani Mau-Rashidabadi, Maulana Fakhrul Hasan Gangohi and Maulana Syed Shah Hafiz
Tajammul Husain Desnavi agreed to form an organization of Ulama and convene a gathering of Ulama of the
thoughts in the next annual convocation of Madarsa Faiz-e-Aam, Kanpur. They decided the name of the
Organization to be NADWATUL-ULAMA. It was founded at Kanpur in 1894.
The responsibilities of the organization were given to Maulana Syed Muhammad Ali, who became the first Nazim
of Nadwatul-Ulama. The goal was to bring harmony and co-operation among various groups within the Muslim
Millat, to bring about the moral, religious and educational reform and progress.
Nadwatul-Ulama held its first convention on April 22-24, 1894 (Shawwal 15-17, 1311 AH) in Madarsa Faiz-e-
Aam. It was attended by a huge group of scholars from all sects of the ummah and all corners of the sub-continent
including Maulana Abdullah Ansari (Founder Nazim-e-Diniyaat, MAO College) and Maulana Shibli Nomani,
who were teachers of Arabic and Persian at MAO College. Maulana Shibli Nomani proposed Maulana Mufti
Lutfullah to chair the opening session. According to Nawab Sadar Yaar Jang ,Maulana Habibur Rahman Khan
Sherwani, Maulana Ibrahim Aaroomi and Maulvi Muhammad Hussain Batalwi were representing Ahle-Hadis
(Salafi) delegation, Maulvi Ghulamul-Hasnain were representing Shia delegation. Maulana Shah Muhammad
Hussain presented the organization's objectives and Maulana Shibli Nomani presented the working guidelines
(Dasturul-Amal).
On the recommendation of Maulana Muhammad Husain Batalwi, this working guidelines was referred to a
committee of scholars to discuss. On April 23, after maghrib prayer, a special session comprising of 30 scholars
were held and each and every guidelines were discussed and finalized. On the next day, in morning session under
the chairmanship of Maulana Lutfullah of Aligarh, Maulana Shibli Nomani announced the proposals;
After this 12 scholars were named to develop syllabus. All the members of the syllabus developing committee made
their proposed changes in the syllabus but Maulana Shibli Nomani presented the model of Nadwatul-Uloom.
When Maulana Shibli’s proposal of a Darul-Uloom was accepted by the attendees, he requested to form a Managing
group and so a panel of 16 people was selected with consensus. The founding session was concluded with final
remarks and vote of thanks by Maulana Shibli Nomani.
One of the Main aim of the formation of Nadwa was to bring all the sects of Islam irrespective of their beliefs. It
was a pool of Shia, Deobandi, Ahle Hadees, etc who recited 'La Ilaaha Illallaah' (there is no God except Allah)
irrespective of 'Muhammadur Rasool Allah' (Muhammed is Prophet of Allah). This heretic movement was
strongly rejeceted by Scholars of Sunni Islam like Imam Ahmad Raza etc.
Initially the founders of Darul Uloom Deoband like Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi,Qasim Nanotwi etc. were against
the Nadwa Movement but later they joined in. Now Nadwa is a similar institute of Darul Uloom Deoband preaching
it teachings.

updated the Islamic syllabus with modern sciences, vocational training etc . 1899 foundation stone of the library.
1908 Sir John Hevet Lieutenant Governor of UP laid the foundation stone. In donation Rulers of Shajehanpur, Sir
Agha Khan, and Government allotted a piece of land and grants were provided to by the government
Purpose of Foundation:
It was founded with the following three distinct features:
* To serve as a bridge between the Old World and the new but firm and unbending in the matter of fundamentals.
* Aimed at producing an educated class of Muslims well versed in traditional learning and yet actively involved
with the ruling power.
* Sought to give Arabic, both modern and classical, a central place in its system of education besides facilitating
links with Muslim West Asia.
Management :
The Managing Committee of the Darul Uloom consists of distinguished Muslim divines of the country and of men
known for their solicitude for the religious welfare of Muslims. It is an elected body with a fixed tenure. When the
term of a member of the Committee expires, a new member is elected in his place. The retiring member can also
seek re-election.
The Managing Committee comprises 63 members who are drawn from all parts of the country. The Committee
nominates a Nazim (Secretary General) who is incharge of day-to-day management. The post of Nazim is an
honorary one. Then there are M'otamad-i-Talim (Academic Adviser) and M'otamad-i-Maliyat (Treasurer) who
are also nominated by the Managing Committee to assist the Nazim in the discharge of his duties. They, too, work in
an honorary capacity.
The administration of the Darul Uloom is entrusted to a Mohtamim (Principal). The Darul Uloom pays, according
to its means, the salaries of the staff and also arranges for the free lodging, board and clothing of students who
cannot afford to meet their own expenses. Besides, scholarships amounting to about Rs. 65,000 are awarded
annually to the deserving students.
Supervision of the Academic Work :
The guidance of Nadwatul Ulama and the management of the Darul Uloom was entrusted to the men of learning
who, though firm and orthodox in faith, were ready to be tolerant in controversial matters;. They all came from
highly distinguished families, religiously and educationally. Maulana Mohammad Ali Mongheri was the first to
be appointed as the Secretary General of the Darul Uloom. After him, Maulana Masihuzzaman Khan of
Shahjahanpur, teacher of the former Nizam of Hyderabad, hold that position. The Maulana was succeeded in turn by
such illustrious men as Maulana Khalilur Rahman Saharanpuri, son of Maulana Ahmad Ali Muhaddis of
Saharanpur (author of Hashiya-i-Bukhari), Maulana Syed 'Abdul Hai (author of Nuzhat-ul-Khawatir) who was a
scion of Syed Ahmad Shaheed, and Dr. Hakim Maulana Syed Abdul Ali. At the death of the last-named, this
responsibility fell on the shoulders of Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi, the well known religious personality
of the present-day Islamic world. The Maulana has ever since made his valuable services available to the institution
ungrudgingly.
In the beginning the academic supervision of the Darul 'Uloom was entrusted to Maulana Shibli Nomani under
whose guidance and inspiration the institution acquired an intellectual and literary atmosphere from its earliest days.
It developed the taste for scholarship and research and quickly reached the pinnacle of its fame. After the Maulana,
his place was taken by one of his celebrated pupils and successors, Maulana Syed Sulaiman Nadwi. He discharged
his responsibilities in the most admirable manner and the way Darul 'Uloom has profited from his unique literary
abilities, the width of his experience and his prestige and influence, is simply unforgettable. When Maulana Syed
Sulaiman Nadwi retired, this office was also placed under the charge of Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi.
Educational Policy :
Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama was established on the principle of a balanced synthesis of the classical education
with the modern. Its chief purpose was (a) to evolve a proper integration between the eternal fundamentals of the
faith and ever-changing values of human knowledge and learning and (b) to bring about harmony and cohesion
among the different groups and schools of thought of Ahl-i-Sunnat Muslims. As Islamic sciences are living,
evolving and progressive and education was subject to the law of change and reform, hence it was essential that the
system of education too, should change and evolve with time for needs of Islamic Millat.
Syllabus :
The Darul Uloom concentrated particularly on the holy Qur'an and introduced it into syllabus as a living book and
an eternal message.
At the initial stages a simple study of the Qur'an was prescribed. For moral training and discipline a course of the
Traditions of the holy Prophet dealing with his noble virtues and ethical and social conduct was included in the
syllabus.
The Darul Uloom provides education from the primary to the university stage in the theological branches of
learning and Arabic Literature.Total period of sixteen years.The institution and its branches normally have 4000
students on its rolls every year.The academic year begins from the 6th of Shawwal and lasts upto 25th of Sha'aban
followed by the vacation of Ramadhan. The Darul Uloom has at present 131 well-qualified teachers on its staff.
The number of non-teaching staff is 103.
The standard of instruction imparted at the Fazilat stage compares with the Master's Degree in these subjects in the
Universities of the Arab countries. The number of the students in the Fazilat classes is about 50 in an academic
year.
At the completion of this course a student becomes entitled to the degree of Alim of the Darul Uloom. A special
condensed course has also been started recently for students whose mother tongue is English and who do not know
either Arabic or Urdu.
(2) A Department of Islamic Thought and Comparative Religions has been started recently for those who desire to
devote themselves to the preaching of Islam.
(3) An Institute of teachers training is another recent addition for meeting the requirements of institutions imparting
instruction in religious sciences within the country.
The Darul Uloom thus, included Arabic in its syllabus both as a classical and a modern language. Many books were
specially got written by it for the purpose of promoting the study of Arabic language. The importance and usefulness
of the endeavours of the Nadwatul 'Ulama in this respect have been acknowledged not only throughout India but in
the Arab world also. Thanks to these efforts, the Darul Uloom has been able to produce a number of Arabic scholars
and writers whose proficiency and merit has won whole-hearted praise even from the literary circles of the Arab
countries.
Branches:
There are about 111 branches of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama.
