==History==
Kerala Muslims of the fundamentalist and puritanical views of [[Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab|Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab]] (1703-1792), Salafism of [[Rashid Rida]] (1865-1935), Islamic modernism of Muhammad Abduh (1819-1905),<ref>{{Cite web |title=Muhammad Abduh's contributions to modernity |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260250314 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210617134913/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260250314_Muhammad_Abduh%27s_contributions_to_modernity |archive-date=17 June 2021 |access-date=2025-02-20 |website=ResearchGate |language=en |url-status=live }}</ref> pan-Islamism of [[Jamal al-Din al-Afghani|Jamaluddin Afghani]] (1939-1897), and the Tahreek e-Mujahideen in North India. The new ideologists first came out through the Kerala Muslim Aikya Sangham (group for unity among Kerala Muslims),<ref name="Kerala muslim aikya Sanghom">{{cite web | url=https://www.academia.edu/6684725 | title=Kerala muslim aikya Sanghom | last1=Sharafudeen | first1=Shajeer }}</ref> which was founded at [[Kodungallur]] of [[Kingdom of Cochin|Cochin State]] in 1922 by leaders like [[K. M. Seethi Sahib]], [[K. M. Maulavi]], and [[E. Moidu Moulavi|EK Moulavi]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.org/details/thuhfathulthalibeen1940ekmoulavi | title=1940 - തുഹ്‌ഫത്തുത്താലിബീൻ | date=1940 }}</ref>

It tried to bring the scattered and unorganised reformist activists together. Later, they formed an Ulama organisation, Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama, at a two-day conference of Aikya Sangham held at [[Aluva]] in 1924.<ref name="Kerala muslim aikya Sanghom" />

===Formation===
Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama was formed on June 26, 1926 but it was officially registered on November 14, 1934,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Development and Modernisation of Religious Education in Kerala: Role of Samastha Kerala Jam'eyyat ul-Ulama |url=http://etd.lib.jnu.ac.in/TH13581.pdf |website=etd.lib.jnu.ac.in}}</ref> as the government approved its bylaw, which was agreed upon after deep and wide scholarly discussions held in various Mushawara meets and in consultation with law experts. It promulgated the propagation of true Islam, impart of religious education and activities against superstitions and un-Islamic traditions as its primary and supreme objectives. Its bylaw also included encouragement for secular education compatible with religious beliefs, and calls for religious tolerance, interfaith friendship, peaceful existence and national progress. The registration Number is S1.1934/35<ref>{{Cite web |title=കോവിഡ് -19നിയന്ത്രണം പള്ളികളിൽആരാധനക്ക് ഇളവ്അ നുവദിക്കുന്നത് സംബന്ധിച്ച്. |url=https://www.mediaoneonline.com/pdf_upload/letterskju-to-cheif-ministerpallikalil-araadana-1229875.pdf |website=www.mediaoneonline.com}}</ref> at office of the Kozhikode district registrar

===Samastha history 1924-2000s===
The Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama felt the need to organise to defend and protect Kerala’s Islamic tradition and to wage a revivalist movement against the new interpretations. [[Pangil Ahmed Kutty Musliyar]],<ref>{{cite web | url=https://en.islamonweb.net/an-exploration-of-abdul-bari-musliyar-al-malaibaris-magnum-opus-kithabu-kitab-si%E1%B8%A5a%E1%B8%A5-al-shaikhain | title=An Exploration of Abdul Bari Musliyar al-Malaibari's Magnum Opus: Kithabu Kitāb Siḥāḥ al-Shaikhain | date=6 February 2024 }}</ref> who had already started counter campaigns against the ‘Wahhabi ideology’, along with some other scholars, met [[Varakkal Mullakoya Thangal]], who was a Sufi Sheikh, to discuss creating an organisational movement to defend theirb version of Islam. Tangal suggested convening a meeting of scholars to discuss the suitable solution. In 1925,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.academia.edu/2334442 | title=Samastha Kerala Jam'iathul Ulama: Defining Islamic discourses in Kerala through Ulama activism | last1=Pattasseri | first1=Noorudeen }}</ref> some major ulama and other society leaders gathered at Calicut Valiya Juma Masjid and formed an ulama organisation after prolonged and serious discussions.

KP Muhammad Meeran Musliyar and Parol Hussain Moulawi<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.islamkavadam.com/prasthanam/pandithar/parol-hussain-moulavi | title=പാറോല്‍ ഹുസൈന്‍ മൗലവി }}</ref> were named the President and Secretary of the organisation, respectively.

===Conferences===
Samastha organised a host of public conferences at various places to spread their message. Facing an opposition of secularly educated people, journalists, advocates and neo-scholars who had been fruitfully utilising all means from public meetings to publications to propagate their reformist ideologies and to brand traditionalists as courting shirk, Samastha leaders were compelled to come out to defend themselves against the allegations and to explain its views. Systematically held public conferences and anniversaries increased Samasthas popularity, kept the majority of Mappila Muslims in their fold, and restricted the inroads of reformist ideologies. In the first 25 years, Samastha focused its agenda on conducting public conferences, dialogues and ideological conflicts. Between 1927 and 1944, it convened 15 annual conferences at various places attracting immense public attention. 70th year Anniversary E.K Aboobacker musliar addressing the crowd The 16th conference held at Karyavattam was important as since then Samastha started to keep records and registers of all activities, resolutions and decisions scientifically. After that, the frequency of the huge public conferences decreased mainly because the organisation had tightened its foundation and fortress by 1950s and it had formed many sub committees and subordinate organisations to deal with different issues. In next 40 years, it conducted next eight conferences.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bitstream |url=http://scholar.uoc.ac.in/bitstream/handle/20.500.12818/450/1553_Sharafuddin%20.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y}}</ref>
