The sacred culture of Islam first reached the Indian subcontinent in Kodungallur, located in the Thrissur district, with the arrival of the great Malik bin Dinar (RA) and his team. This advent of Islam significantly contributed to eradicating the dominance of upper castes in Kerala and fostering human compassion among the people. However, it is a lamentable fact that later generations struggled to uphold the principles of religious harmony and moral consciousness imparted by this great religion. The repercussions of this neglect were particularly evident and influential in Kodungallur and its surrounding areas.

Although various historical factors contributed to this decline, it is crucial to note that the distorted ideologies of new movements and advocates emerged in the 1920s, driven by the misguided views of Muhammad Bin Abdul and Jama Luddin Afghani, further exacerbated the divisions within the Muslim Ummah.

During this critical period, both the Ulamas and Umras recognized the urgent need for a spiritual and intellectual center to protect and disseminate the unique concept of Ahlu Sunnathi Wal Jamath, and to cultivate moral awareness among the next generation in the surrounding areas of Thrissur district, particularly in Kodungallur, where Islam first entered Kerala. Consequently, the idea for the Malikibinu Dinar Islamic Complex was conceived during the Thrissur District Sunni Convention held at Kaipamangalam Mahlara Madrasa on January 5, 1985, under the auspices of the Thrissur District Unit of All Kerala Jamiatul Ulema.

Moreover, another significant aim behind establishing a multifaceted religious education system in honor of Malik Bin Dinar (RA), who conveyed the glorious message of Islam to Keralites, was to combat the religious and educational backwardness of the Muslim community in Thrissur district and to foster a spirit of spirituality.

Today, this institution, built decades ago, has transformed into a hub of religious and intellectual integration in Thrissur district. It conducts various educational activities across different taluks with exceptional dedication. Presently, it encompasses an orphanage and destitute home for boys and girls, Imam Shafi Hifl Qur'an College, M.I.C Islamic & Arts College (SNEC - Sanaaiya), Aflalul Ulama & Arts College for Women, a Higher Secondary Madrasah, CBSE English School, Al-Bir School, Aided O.U.P. School, and many other commendable institutions.

A detailed evaluation of each MIC institution reveals that it emerged at a crucial juncture in time and society. M.I.C was born from necessity and has elevated the religious knowledge of the Ummah. The profound impact of M.I.C in the hearts of the people is a testament to the innovative educational activities carried out quietly by the Ulamas and Umras over the decades.

The first leader of MIC, Marhum Syed Hamid Koyamma Thangal, served as General Secretary until 1997, along with notable figures such as Thozhiyur Kunhi Muhammad Musliar, Natika V Musa Musliar, CM Ahmad Haji, Marhum Sait Muhammad Haji, and S.M. K Thangal, who were instrumental in this cognitive revolution.

This magnificent edifice of knowledge, built through dedication and prayer, stands not only as a symbol of the religious community and cultural unity of Central Kerala but also as a proud center of religio-physical knowledge, a testament to decades of sacrifice and effort.
