Darul Uloom Gulshan-e-Madina Jamia Nooria is a prominent Islamic educational institution called Madrasa, which is situated in the village Mauna Post Walipur, Via Rampur Hari, District Sitamarhi, the Mithila region in northern Bihar, India. The Muslim populated hamlet Mauna can be reached from Muzaffarpur via NH 77 going to Sitamarhi turning from Khanua or Kuahi, which is approximately 4 km from the settlement. The block headquarter Runisaidpur is only about 14 km from here.

Darul Uloom Gulshan-e Madina, Jamia Nooria, Mauna Walpur has been founded by my maternal grandfather late Mohd Abu Zafar Siddiqui, the grandson of the local Zamindar Janab Dost Ali Sb. The founder of the institution named this Islamic seminary after his granddaughter Anjum Ara alias Noori Parween (The daughter of his only daughter late Amina Khatoon) in the year of 1993 (12^th Rabiul Awwal, 1414 AH) I am eyewitness to the Islamic zeal, enthusiasm and restlessness of my maternal grandfather Mohd Abu Zafar Siddiqui to establish a Madrasa to spread Islamic learning and training in this remote area of the district where there was no such institution to fill the gap. He and his brother endowed large tracts of land near Mauna Eidgah to move ahead on this path. I have heard him reciting a popular stanza every now and then:

The sincere prayers of the founder of Gulshan-e-Madina Jamia Nooria were blessed by the Almighty Allah (ST). Hundreds of the servants of God are associated with this garden of the Prophetic knowledge and wisdom under the leadership, management and spiritual guidance of Hazrat Maulana Alhaj Qari Mufti Hafiz Saghir Ahmad Misbahi Noori Qadri Sb Mudda Zilluhul Aali, the youngest of the three sons of late Mohd Abu Zafar Siddiqui Sb. The rector of Gulshan-e-Madina, Maulana Saghir Ahmad Sb is an alumnus of world famous Islamic University, Jamia Ashrafia, Mubarakpur, Azamgarh. He has rendered unforgettable teaching services in Jamia Qadria Maqsoodpur Aurai Muzaffar, established by one of the finest Islamic Scholars and Mystics of the Indian Subcontinent, late Mufti Aslam Rizvi Qadri Sb, where he memorized the Quran and also studied initial years of Dars-e-Nizami before moving to Mubarakpur for higher Islamic Studies there. Hazrat Maulana Saghir Ahmad Misbahi Sb spent a number of years in Darul Uloom Naimia Chhapra as the Principal and Imam & Khatib of Jama Masjid there in the last decade of the past century. He gave up this lucrative paid service to nurture and develop the Madrasa, his father established with so many dream projects ahead. By grace of Allah Subhanahu wa Taala, Gulshan-e-Madina Jamia Nooria has successfully traveled many a milestones under its visionary Mohtamim Sb, who has full support and cooperation of his two elder brothers, Hazrat Mohd Rizwan Sb and Jameel Akhtar Sb and his eldest son Mr Madani. Mufti Saghir Ahmad Sb issues also Islamic rulings, when he is approached by Muslims to know Islamic point of view regarding Islamic life. Hence, Gulshan-e-Madina Jamia Nooria has its own Darul Ifta. 

Gulshan-e-Madina Jamia Nooria has its beautiful building, in which hundreds of students quench their thirst of knowledge and learning. This institution has become a center of social gatherings and Islamic conferences many times a year, which are attended by thousands of people from different areas and the teachers and preachers here visit nearby villages and towns to satisfy the religious and spirituals needs of Muslims living there. There are various future projects, which are likely to be completed in near future.

The Founder;

MK Hajee has been inalienably associated with every humanitarian concern of the underprivileged sections of the society across Malabar especially of Tirurangadi till his death in1983. Being brought up as an orphan, he was aware of the sufferings and hardships of the destitute. Malabar Muslim Association has its genesis from his foresighted intellectual engagement with freedom struggle and the life of trials and tribulations he had in Madras.

The ideal of an orphanage which he founded as part of the humanistic and reform activities in collaboration with KM Moulvi, germinated from the establishment of Noorul Islam Madrasa. It is worth mentioning that he had the unique generosity to transform his own house into an orphanage in 1943, which later became Tirurangadi Muslim Orphanage. Thereafter, he founded a series of educational and charitable institutions at Tirurangadi. PSMO College is of the feeder organizations among a host of other institutions under the Orphanage Committee. MK Hajee, therefore, is a pioneer in the renaissance of Kerala Muslims by being an architect of the educational and cultural advancement in Kerala.   

Jamia Darussalam Oomerabad is one of the most valuable and significant Islamic Seminaries found in India. This Islamic Religious Institution was found in 1924 by Kaka Mohammad Oomer (1864-1927), a skin and hide merchant in Ommerabad. Oomerabad is a village Taluk Ambur in Tripattur, District Tamil Nadu India. It is only 8 km from the leather hub Ambur and well connected.

Jamia Darussalam provides both secular and Islamic education for students. The courses offered by Jamia Darussalam include Quran, theology, Islamic jurisprudence, Fiqh, Hadith, history, culture, and so on. Special efforts have been made by Jamia Darussalam for Da’wa activities as well. The Institution emphasizes preparation of studies and educational consultation required to serve different sectors of the community. It insists on collection of specialized human resources and requalification making them able for intellectual communication and spiritual renaissance. The main motive behind it is to procreate eminent Islamic scholars, linguists, and orators who can take up the challenges of the time, solve the problems of the modern world and lead the community through the right path.

Zakat foundation is one of the Five Pillars of Islam referring to the obligation of the Muslim that he has to donate a certain proportion of wealth for social causes. Zamat is mandatory for the Muslims, who have fulfill the criteria of Nisab (Standards for the obligation of Zakat) i.e. yearly earning that are over and above what is required to provide the essential needs of a person or family, which is based on income and the value of possession. The common minimum amount for those who qualify is 2.5% or 1/40 of the total savings and health of the Muslim who has to pay Zakat.   

Zakat Foundation of India, established in 1997 by some prominent residents of New Delhi, collects Zakat and utilizes the same for the projects aimed at the comprehensive development of the Indian Muslims in terms of the Civil Service Exam Training, Community Monitory, Disaster Relief, ‘Happy Home & Fatima Care’ Orphanage, Haj Fund of India, Medical Services, Scholarship, Monetary Assistance, Training and Employment amongst others.

Dr Syed Zafar Mahmood, an Alig and the brother of the celebrated legal luminary, is the founder of Zakat Foundation. Dr Mahmood has worked on the Sachar Committee appointed by the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 9^th March, 2005 to study the social economical and educational status of India’s minority Community so he has the understanding the real problems of the Muslims of India in the fields of education, business and others. He has founded Interfaith Coalition Peace and God’s Grace Foundation, whose programs have been featured on CNN and National Public Radio of America as well.

In September 2009, ZFI filed a ‘Right to Information’ application to question why the Government had rejected the Sachar Committee recommendations to ensure proper governance of Wakf properties. The foundation and the founder deserve our compliment and support.
