'''Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen''' ('''KNM''') is an Islamic organization in the state of [[Kerala]] founded in 1950.<ref name="EI6-462"/> The organization is part of the [[Islah|Islamic reformist]] ''Mujahid'' Movement and follows the principles of [[Salafism]]. The Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen was formed as a result of [[renaissance]] activities among Keralite Muslims led by scholars and clerics such as Sheikh Hamadani Thangal, [[K. M. Maulavi|K.M. Moulavi]], [[Vakkom Moulavi]], E. Moidu Moulavi and Ummer Moulavi. Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen is considered as the successor of Kerala Muslim Aikya Sangam,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Filippo Osella & Caroline Osella |title=Islamism and Social Reform in Kerala, South India |journal=Modern Asian Studies |year=2008 |volume=42 |issue=2/3 |page=321 |jstor=20488022}}</ref> the first Muslim organization in the state of [[Kerala]], founded in 1924. The ''Mujahid'' movement laid the foundations of [[Islamic renaissance]] in [[Kerala]] by campaigning against corrupted practices of the [[Tariqa|Sufi orders]], superstitions, false beliefs, [[Shirk (Islam)|polytheism]] etc., and called for the revival of true Islamic practices to the Muslim community in Kerala which had until then been severely lacking in crucial aspects of religious and socio-civic knowledge. The ''Mujahids'' consider themselves as proponents of authentic Islamic reform, pursuing a purified concept of ''[[Tawhid]]''.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Miller|first=Roland E.|title=Mappila Muslims of Kerala: Study in Islamic Trends|publisher=Orient Longman Limited|year=1976|isbn=0-86311-270-6|location=160 Anna Salai, Madras 600 002|page=337|quote=""..the Mujahīd Movement, also known as the Salafīyya movement, strengthened its criticism of practices that it regards as superstitious and pursued its struggle for a purified concept of tawhid..."}}</ref><br />
<br />
The social, cultural, educational, and religious activities of Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen enhanced the Islamic renaissance, and enabled the state's Muslims to create their own characteristics and peculiarities that distinguished them from other Muslim communities in [[India]] by achieving high rates of [[literacy]] and a prestigious status in Kerala society.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/nm21/kerala-s-muslims-record-highest-literacy/article1-196379.aspx |title=Kerala's Muslims record highest literacy |accessdate=2015-02-23 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223191944/http://www.hindustantimes.com/nm21/kerala-s-muslims-record-highest-literacy/article1-196379.aspx |archivedate=2015-02-23 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.milligazette.com/news/5359-muslim-literacy-lowest-demographic-report|title=Muslim literacy lowest: demographic report|first=Abdul Hafiz|last=Lakhani|website=Milligazette.com|accessdate=2 October 2017|archive-date=2 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171002220743/http://www.milligazette.com/news/5359-muslim-literacy-lowest-demographic-report|url-status=live}}</ref> The ''Mujahid'' movement continues the [[Islah|Islamic reform]] traditions of the scholars [[Ibn Taymiyyah|Taqi al-Din ibn Taymiyya]] (1263-1328 C.E/661-728 A.H), [[Ahmad Sirhindi]] (1564-1624 C.E/ 971-1034 A.H), [[Shah Waliullah Dehlawi|Shah Waliullah ad-Dehlawi]] (1703-1762 C.E/ 1114-1176 A.H), [[Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab|Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab]] (1703-1792 C.E/ 1115-1207 A.H) and [[Rashid Rida|Muhammad Rashid Rida]] (1865-1935 C.E/ 1281 A.H-1353 A.H).<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Osella, Osella|first=Filippo, Caroline|date=March 2008|title=Islamism and Social Reform in Kerala, South India|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/231955323|journal=Modern Asian Studies|volume=42|issue=2–3|pages=330–331|doi=10.1017/S0026749X07003198|s2cid=143932405 |via=Research Gate}}</ref><br />
<br />
The theological reformation initiated by Vakkom Abdul Qadir Moulavi and his disciples was a conservative reform movement directly influenced by the Arab ''[[Salafi movement|Salafiyya]]'' scholarly circles and trends popular in [[Syria]], [[Egypt]], etc. Although the ''Mujahids'' often visited the scholars of [[Saudi Arabia]], the movement differed from both the militant Puritanism of the [[Arabian Peninsula|Arabian]] [[Wahhabism|Wahhabi]] reformation as well as the "Neo-Mu'tazilism" of the culture-oriented [[North India]]n [[Islamic modernism|Muslim modernists]] like [[Syed Ahmad Khan|Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan]]. Instead, it was closer in spirit to the Arab ''Salafiyya'' movement, advancing a Keralite adaptation of reformist doctrines that focused on awakening [[Pan-Islamism|Pan-Islamic]] consciousness; which became a major reason for its popularity.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Miller|first=Roland E.|title=Mappila Muslims of Kerala: Study in Islamic Trends|publisher=Orient Longman Limited|year=1976|isbn=0-86311-270-6|location=160 Anna Salai, Madras 600 002|pages=265, 274–275}}</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The consensus among historians is that Islam arrived in [[Kerala]] through Arab traders either during the time of [[Muhammed]] himself (AD 609 - AD 632) or in the following few decades. [[Kerala]] has an ancient relation with the Middle East even during the Pre-Islamic period. Muslim merchants ([[Malik, son of Dinar]]) settled in Kerala by the 8th century AD and introduced [[Islam]]. For a long time they kept the Islamic beliefs based on the message of [[Quran]] and the teachings of Muhammed. Later the Muslim community divided into different groups because of religious and political reasons. By the 16th century AD, with the arrival of [[colonization]] led by the Portuguese and the colonial modernity they gradually declined to a culturally, economically, and educationally deprived condition.<br />

The history of Kerala [[Mappila Muslims|Mappila]] renaissance began in the 19th century AD with [[Sayyid Sanaulla Makti Thangal]]. He encouraged Muslims to settle their differences by returning to the message of the Quran and the teachings of Muhammed. Sayyid Sanaulla Makti Thangal died in 1912, but he inspired scholars such as Sheikh Hamadani Thangal, [[K. M. Maulavi|K.M. Moulavi]] and [[Vakkom Moulavi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kerala.com/kerala_Celebrities/celebrity.php?recid=102|title=Kerala Celebrity, Celebrity of the week|website=Kerala.com|accessdate=2 October 2017|archive-date=2 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171002215522/http://www.kerala.com/kerala_Celebrities/celebrity.php?recid=102|url-status=live}}</ref> Apart from Sayyīd Sānāullah, the works of other scholars such as [[Chalilakath Kunahmed Haji|Chalilakath Kunjahamed Hajji]] (d. 1920), Shaikh Muhammad Hamādāni Thăngâl (d. 1922) provided the impetus for theological reformation amongst the Mappila Muslim ''[[Ulama|Ulema]]''. They formed the first Muslim movement in Kerala, known as the [[Kerala Muslim Aikhya Sangam]], in [[Kodungallur]] in 1922, founded by the freedom fighter and Islamic scholar [[Vakkom Moulavi|Vakkom 'Abdul Qadir Moulavi]] (d. 1873 - 1932 C.E). Beginning his career as an orthodox [[Mawlawi (Islamic title)|Maulavi]], 'Abdul Qadir would become most influential social, theological and educational reformer of the ''Mujahids''.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{Cite book|last=Miller|first=Roland E.|title=Mappila Muslims of Kerala: Study in Islamic Trends|publisher=Orient Longman Limited|year=1976|isbn=0-86311-270-6|location=160 Anna Salai, Madras 600 002|pages=270–271}}</ref><br />
<br />
With the help of a Malabari [[Malabar Muslims|Mappila]], Vakkom Moulavi was introduced to the popular [[Pan-Islamism|Pan-Islamic]] journal ''[[Al-Manār (magazine)|Al-Manar]]'', published by the influential Salafi scholar [[Rashid Rida|Mùhāmmád Ráshīd Rîdâ]] (1865 - 1935 C.E) from [[Cairo]]. Vakkom Moulavi would be its ardent reader, and through ''Al-Manar'', Moulavi became familiar with a wide range of contemporary Islamic reform movements and would be influenced by the doctrines of the 14th century [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] theologian [[Ibn Taymiyyah|Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyya]] (d. 1328 C.E / 728 A.H). Impressed by these reformers' staunch commitment to ''[[Tawhid]]'', Moulavi began vigorously campaigning against ''[[Shirk (Islam)|shirk]]'' and ''[[bidʿah]]'' (innovations); and proclaimed the centrality of upholding ''[[Tawhid]]''. Advocating the teachings of Rashid Rida and Ibn Taymiyya, Vakkom Moulavi attacked [[Madhhab|Madhab]] partisanship, condemned ''[[Taqlid]]'', calling upon [[Muslims]] to shun un-Islamic customs by directly returning to ''[[Quran|Qur'an]]'' and ''[[Hadith]]''; and establish Islamic Unity. Modelled after ''[[Al-Manār (magazine)|Al-Manar]]'', Moulavi would publish numerous journals and magazines with the purpose of spreading Islamic message, in a way that would directly reach the common masses, through three languages [[Malayalam]], [[Arabic]] and [[Arabi Malayalam|Arabi-Malayalam]].<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Proclaiming the reformers' gratitude to Rashid Rida, Vakkom Moulavi wrote:<blockquote>"It is through Rashid Rida's ''Al-Manar'' that Kerala Muslims were awakened"<ref>{{Cite book|last=Miller |first=Roland E. |title=Mappila Muslims of Kerala: Study in Islamic Trends |publisher=Orient Longman Limited |year=1976 |isbn=0-86311-270-6 | location=160 Anna Salai, Madras 600 002 |page=270}}</ref></blockquote><br/>Vakkom Moulavi's teachings would be popularised across Malabar by his disciples like [[K. M. Maulavi|Khatib Muhammad Moulavi]] (1886 - 1964 C.E). Like his teacher, K.M Moulavi was a regular reader of ''Al-Manar'' journal and a well-read expert of ''[[Fiqh]]'' (Islamic jurisprudence) and Islamic theology. K.M Moulavi was a fierce opponent of the British administration and played a major role in the [[Malabar rebellion|Mappila rebellion]] of 1921, which sought to topple [[British Raj|British colonial rule]] in [[Malabar Coast|Malabar]]. After the uprising was put down, K.M Moulavi fled to [[Kodungallur|Kodungalur]], a Muslim region free from British influences. From Kondungalur, Moulavi became known as a reputed scholar and advocated reformist campaigns calling for the eradication of ''[[Shirk (Islam)|shirk]]'' and ''[[bidʿah]]''. He was also a founding leader of Kerala Muslim Aikya Sangham in 1921. K.M Moulavi played an important role in the proliferation of various Islamic publications like ''Al-Irshad'', ''Al-Islah'', ''Al-Murshid'', etc and was a regular contributor in Rashid Rida's ''[[Al-Manār (magazine)|Al-Manar]]''. At popular request, the British authorities would withdraw all Mappila Rebellion charges in 1932 and the Moulavi would return home. In 1932, K.M Moulavi held a meeting of major [[Mawlawi (Islamic title)|Moulavis]] from all parts of Kerala and announced the establishment of "''Kerala Jam'iyyat al-Ulema''". Thereafter, Moulavi would become the most influential Islamic scholar of the [[Mappila Muslims]] of [[Malabar Coast|Malabar]]. His ''[[fatwa]]s'' were widely requested all across Kerala due to his immense knowledge of ''[[Quran|Qur'an]]'' and ''[[Hadith]]''; as well as his juristic mastery of [[Shafiʽi school|Shafi'i]] and [[Hanafi]] madh'habs (legal schools). By force of his charismatic personality and widely accepted scholarly credentials, Moulavi was able to overcome newly developed opposition to the ''[[Islah]]i'' movement.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Miller|first=Roland E.|title=Mappila Muslims of Kerala: Study in Islamic Trends|publisher=Orient Longman Limited|year=1976|isbn=0-86311-270-6|location=160 Anna Salai, Madras 600 002|pages=272–273}}</ref><br />
<br />
The movement encouraged Muslims to settle their differences by returning to the message of the [[Quran]] and the teachings of [[Muhammed]]. This message attracted educated people, and the group slowly gained the confidence of the Muslims of Kerala. The efforts of Aikhya Sangam promoted the formation of several formal and informal associations in other areas of Kerala. The Muslim Nishpaksha Sangam and Islam Dharma Sangam were important among them. The common goal of all these organizations was to promote the [[:wikt:unity|unity]] of Muslims based on the message of Quran and the teachings of Muhammed. The annual meetings of Kerala Muslim Aikhya Sangam gained attention by the participation of international Islamic scholars such as [[Marmaduke Pickthall]].<br />
<br />
=== Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama ===<br />
Many Muslim scholars in different areas of Kerala attracted by the message of "Kerala Muslim Aikhya Sangam" but they could not interact due to the lack of a common forum. Therefore, the leaders of "Kerala Muslim Aikhya Sangam" decided to create a forum of Muslim scholars for discussing religious matters. It resulted in the formation of the First Forum of Muslim Scholars Of Kerala at the Annual General Meeting of Kerala Muslim Aikhya Sangam in 1924 at Aluva. This scholars' forum is referred to as "Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama Ahlussunna wal Jamaath", also known as [[Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama]] (KJU). It acted as the advisory body of the Aikhya Sangam until the latter dissolved in 1934, but is still an active body in providing religious leadership to Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen.<br />
<br />
=== Formation of Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen ===<br />
<br />
The KJU decided to propagate the Islamic ideologies with the participation of people of all intellectual levels under its guidance. So, on 12 April 1947, in a working committee meeting of KJU, they decided to form a public organization. Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen officially formed on 20 April 1950 in a meeting held at the office off "Al Manar" Magazine at Calicut. The organization registered in 1957 under the [[Indian Societies Registration Act|Society Act]].<br />
<br />
KNM had been split into two groups from 2002. Both the groups completed discussions at all levels in their respective feeder organizations and a joint sitting was held on 20 December. This division in KNM happened in 2002 when a faction led by Hussain Madavoor split from the parent organization over a number of ideological and organizational issues. In 2012, another organization came into existence from the KNM on the issues related to genie and sorcery, known as Wisdom Global Islamic Mission.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wisdom Islamic Organization |url=http://www.wisdomislam.org/ |website=www.wisdomislam.org |access-date=11 July 2022 |archive-date=29 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220829073833/http://www.wisdomislam.org/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The two major groups decided to merge into one platform in 2016. This was announced on 20 December 2016 in front of a huge audience at Calicut. However, soon after in 2018, another split occurred on the same ideological and organizational issues and currently they both are known as KNM (Official) and KNM (Markazudda'wa) respectively.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Oct 11 |first1=M.
