User:Madrasa ziaul uloom

Al Madrasa Ziaul Uloom (Urdu: مدرسہ ضیاءالعلوم‎‎, Hindi: मदरसा जियाउल उलूम.) is an Islamic seminary of Sunni Muslims in India. It is located in Purana Gorakhpur in the northern state of [[Uttar Pradesh]

It started off as a madrasa called Madrasa Ziaul Uloom in 1989 in the town of Purana Gorakhpur of what was then India.[1] It was named 'ziaul uloom' after the most prominent Saint of not only the subcontinent but the world Ala Hadrat Shah. After struggling for many years and moving locations several times, a new building was constructed using funds raised by Hafiz salik Gorakhpuri. This was the site for the school now known as Dar al-Ulum Ahl-i Sunnat Madrasa Ziaul Uloom .[2]

Realizing that the site was becoming too small, ziaul uloom organized an educational conference in May 1989 to discuss moving ziaul uloom to a larger campus. Scholars of the Barelwi Movement like Mustafa Raza Khan son of Ahmad Raza Khan and Allama Arshadul Qaudri laid the foundation stone with the mission of making it a University for Sunni Hanafi Islamic Ideology in 1989 at a site outside the city of gorakhpur.[3]
