Darul Uloom Al Arabiya Al Islamiyya (Arabic: دار العلوم العربية الإسلامية), better known as Darul Uloom Bury,[1] 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 found throughout the world. It was founded by the late Hadhrat Moulana Yusuf Motala.[2]
Programme
[edit]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.[3]
History
[edit]The school was founded in 1979 by Shaykh Yusuf Motala, and Shaykh Hashim Patel (Jogwari) a British Indian scholar. 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.
