Darul Uloom Al-Arabiyyah Al-Islamiyyah
Darul Uloom Al Arabiya Al Islamiyya (Arabic: دار العلوم العربية الإسلامية), better known as Darul Uloom Bury, was established in 1979 and is the oldest Islamic seminary in the United Kingdom. Located in Holcombe, Bury, it is based on the Dars-e-Nizami syllabus. It was founded by Hadhrat Moulana Yusuf Motala.
Programme
It accepts students from the age of 11 to 23, providing a secondary school education for younger students as well as Islamic education to an advanced level.
History
The school was founded in 1979 by Shaykh Yusuf Motala, and Shaykh Hashim Patel (Jogwari) British Indian scholars. Initially, the Saudi Arabian government helped with finances, as it received no money from the state, and parents paid fees of £440. It was Europe's first exclusively Muslim school and started with just 80 pupils. Now the institution educates over 300 boys.
