About Jame-ul-uloom

Jame-ul-uloom is an Arabic name meaning “Center of Knowledge”. Jame-ul-uloom is housed in the campus of Jamia Mosque, one of the biggest mosques in the state, located in the heart of the Bangalore City. Apart from imparting education, the Institution aims at “character building”. This is achieved through moral education and religious instruction.

Upliftment of the downtrodden in the Minority Community is the aim of Jame-ul-uloom. It also aims in preparing good and useful citizens, so that they can face the situations in this world of competition. To accomplish many such purposes, Jame-ul-uloom has in its fold institutions.

The uniqueness of Jame-ul-uloom is that it is probably a single institution which is functioning under the aegis of a mosque imparting modern education along with moral religious education in the light of Holy Quran and Hadith. About a dozen teachers including Hufaz and Moulvies are employed for the purpose. All the classes right from L.K.G to PUC will have one Arabic teaching period on all working days. On every Thursday in the last two periods a religious congregation, “ijtima” is conducted for all the girl students. Separate arrangements are made for adult education by a well qualified teacher outside the working hours of the school.

Charitable activity

In general a Masjid committee is formed to look after Masjid activity whereas Jamia Masjid has added one more activity, i.e. Charitable activity, which means to take care of muslims educational needs so as to make every muslims future very bright, particularly those who are unable to get educated due to poverty.
