MADARSA E RIFAH E AAM (THYYUB SAB SCHOOL) MELVISHARAM 


             Madarsa E Rifah E Aam

Janab Mana Muna Abdul Kareem Sahib (Son of Mana Muna Mohammed Hasan Sahib) established Madarsa E Rifah E Aam at No. 2, S.H.A Street adjacent to the Pakthini mosque. The Madarsa was started on 28th September 1980 with a dua by Hazrath Moulana Abu Savood Sahib. (Former Ameer E Shariat, Karnataka). Hazrath Moulana Hafiz Mohammed Thyoob Sahib (son of Hazrath Moulana Nayyar Rabbani Sahib Rah) was its’ first teacher.

Children of kinder-garden level studied and the core syllabi was the Holy Quran (Nazira) Masnoon Dua, Basic Urdu, English, Tamil and maths.  This was a full time school.

I studied here during 1984-87 along with my neighbours.  Zaheer Hazrath (Janab T.K. Hafiz Zaheer Ahmed) and Ameen Hazrath (Janab T. K. Ameen Ahmed Sahib) were our teachers. Janab Mustafa Sahib also served in this Madarsa. My classmates and I still cherish the memories of learning Arabic, English, Maths, Babul Quran, Zarooratul Muslimeen, and Masnoon dua recited loudly in unison. Janab Musa Sahib, the watchman of this Madarsa, would pick up us from our homes and often escort us to school, even when we cried and wept. 

 My seniors studied under Thyub Sahib Hazrath.  During his tenure, the Madarsa became familiar as ‘Thyyub Sab School’.  The Madarsa had a good enrolment of students divided into three sections. The foundation courses that we studied here helped a lot for further education.  

Over the years, the Madarsa had a good number of students, until the rise of English medium nurseries led to its closure. The management maintained it efficiently till 2005. Since then, only Maktab classes have been held after Maghrib. Many scholars served in this Madarsa. For the past fifteen years Hazrath Moulana Hafiz Aimandi Anwarul Haq Sahib have been conducting classes.

The Madarsa was supervised by Anjuman-e-Rifah-e-Aam. Janab Abdul Kareem Sahib (founder), Janab Vaverthar Mohammed Athaullah Sahib, Janab Abdullah Jameel Sahib, Janab Yarthakar Nazeer Ahmed Sahib, Janab Vadakatti Mushtaque Ahmed Sahib, Janab Abdullah Nisar Ahmed Sahib and Janab Kalavai Abdul Jaleel Sahib were some of its members.

With an intention of reviving the Madarsa, in December 2024, Moulana Merajul Hasan Sahib (Grandson of Mana Muna Abdul Kareem Sahib) started Quran revision program for the Huffaz.  Before the construction of Jamath Office opposite to Pakthini Mosque in 2013, all the important meetings of Ahle Sunnath Lababeen Jamath were held in this Madarsa. In 2008, Janab Mana Muna Abdul Kareem Sahib donated this Madarsa building to Qaumi Baitul Mal which also functions in Rifah E Aam Complex. It also accommodates Edara E Noorul Huda and Masalihat Committee. Insha Allah, a brief history of these organisations will be shared later.  May Allah reward them all.
