Darul huda, established as Islamic academy in 1986 and formally upgraded as University in May 2009, is a successful implementation of true educational philosophy of Islam. This philosophy was discussed by some great visionary scholars and leaders in Kerala who were deeply concerned about the dichotomous view towards education as religious and material. A host of brilliant minds like Moulana MM Basheer Musliyar (1929-87), Dr. Bapputty Haji (1929-2003), Moulana C.H. Hydaroos Musliyar (1930-94). Sayed Umar Ali Shihab Tangal Panakkad (1941-2008), Prof. E. Muhammed (1944-2010), Shaikhuna Cherussey Zainudheen Musliyar (1937-2016), Dr. Bahaudheen Muhammed Nadwi and the like came together in order to bring Islamic education system back to its original vision. They envisioned an amicable combination of religious and secular, spiritual and material education.
