Jamia Sirajul Uloom situated at Balrampur District s Baudihar village in Uttar Pradesh in northern India is one of the most important Islamic academic institutions. It was established as a small madrasa in 1907 (1325 Hijri) at the hand of Shaikh-ul-Hadith Abd-ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri, the author of Tuhfat-ul-Ahwazi Sharah (explanatory book of) Jame-al-Tirmizi, may Allah have mercy upon him. And now, it has turned into an Islamic university. The story of its growth from a small institution in the pre-independence India to a university offering integrated education from nursery to Fadilah Degree is a saga of dedication, conviction, and vision of dedicated people, who worked against all odds and saw it growing step by step. They built up Jamia Sirajul Uloom stone by stone and sacrifice by sacrifice. It has been supervised since its very foundation day by India s great Islamic scholars and reformers such as Shaikh-ul-Hadith Muhammad Abd-ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri, Sheikh Muhammad Sulaiman Mauwi, Sheikh Allamah Abd-us-Salam Mubarakpuri, Sheikh Allamah Obaidullah al-Rahmani Mubarakpuri, and Sheikh Muhammad Iqbal al-Rahmani. Allamah Abd-ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri, may Allah have mercy upon him, started writing Tuhfat-ul-Ahwazi Sharah Jame-al-Tirmizi while he was teaching at this institution. By assistance from Jamia s core committee, Mir at-ul-Mafatih Sharah Mishkat-ul-Masabih was written and its first, second, and third volumes were published. The institution has been doing its best to achieve its goals especially to impart the Muslim generation Islamic teachings and call people to cling to the holy Quran and Sunnah as two basic sources of Islam. Jamia Sirajul Uloom has left ineffaceable impressions on the community in the field of education. Many of Jamia s alumni are serving as imams, preachers, and teachers in schools and universities inside the country and abroad as well. Our many alumni are studying in national and international universities. Our several alumni have established great Islamic educational and welfare institutions across the country. The degree of Fadhilah Course of our institution is recognized by almost all major universities in the country and our students can get admission there.
