Basic Principles of Darul Aloom
• The faculty instructed its students primarily
in Urdu, the lingua franca of the urbanised
section of the region, and supplemented it
with study of Arabic (for theological
reasons) and Persian (for cultural and
literary reasons. In due course, it also
unwittingly cemented the growing
association of the Urdu language with the
north Indian Muslim community
