  • The Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama (informally abbreviated as the Samastha), 1926, was the principal Sunni-Shafi'i scholarly body in northern Kerala. Most of the ordinary Sunnis of Kerala, adhering to Shafi'i Law, largely followed the Ulama. A forty-member 'mushawara' was the high command body of the Sunni council. The council administered thousands of Shafi'ite mosques, madrasas (institutions where children receive basic Islamic education) and Arabic Colleges (the equivalent of north Indian madrasas). The council was organised in the aftermath of the 1921 Mappila Uprising as a response to the growing Salafi Movement in Kerala. Prominent community leaders Pangil Ahmed Kutty Musliyar and Varakkal Mullakoya Thangal first convened to form an Ulama at Valiya Jum'ah Masjid, Kozhikode in 1925. Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama was formally constituted at Kozhikode Town Hall in June, 1926 (registered in November, 1934). The council, in the presence of Abdurrahiman Bafaqy Thangal, introduced the "madrasa system", as an alternative to the existing system for children's Islamic education, in September 1949. Religious education and the mahals were organised in 1951 and 1976 respectively. Jamia Nooriya Arabia and the Markaz, premier Shafi'ite institutes of higher religious learning in Kerala, were established in 1965 and 1978 respectively. Darul Huda was founded at Chemmad in 1986. The body witnessed an organisational division during the late 1980s, resulting in the presence two separate Shafi'i scholarly bodies in northern Kerala (the Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama and the Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama affliated to All India Sunni Jem-iyyathul Ulama)time.
