The majlis, the educational agency of the Jamaat –e- Islami Kerala has made great inroads into the territory of religious revival in the state and has made hefty contributions to its educational and cultural domains. In founding the Majlis, the Jamaat had envisioned an educational system which frames Islam as a complete system of life. As early as 1950, the Jamaat was making a conscious effort to set up an edifice of education that it had been holding dear for long.

In the meantime a number madrsas, secondary schools and colleges have been set up by Jamaat exponents and workers across the state. It wasin this context that in 1979 Majlisu Ta’aleemil Islami,Kerala was launched primarily for supervising these institutions and secondly for embarking upon a programme of renovation and standardization of the curricula offered by them.

Right now, the Majlis undertakes a number of activities such as preparing the syllabus and year plan, holding of inspections, orientation programmes and examinations, conduct of distant education programme, cultural fests and teacher welfare programmes.

Those who rendered able leadership in the field of Islamic education in Kerala since the inception of the Islamic Movement were: KC Abdullah Moulavi, P Mohammed Abdul Jalal Moulavi, T Ishaqali Moulavi, and T.K Abdullah.They formulated a curriculum and syllabus combining traditional religious disciplines and selected topics of modern education.
