The first commandment in Islam is to "READ." Islam promotes the idea of acquiring knowledge. It refers to the state of a society in a very different way and the progress that society has made from that state. Islam came to Kerala among the extremely poor and the socially oppressed. The idea of fostering such social advancement among them was well received because it was crucial for society to accept them. Islam's central principle of equality has been accepted by the vast majority, but it hasn't been able to advance society. Many social changes were brought about by the Makhdoom family's arrival in Malabar in the fifteenth century. In order to educate and uplift the neighbourhood, they held religious studies in mosques. For new believers, they set up special classes. People could easily attend because the education was entirely free. The modernization process that is bringing about the change in that society today includes this system. Here, the main point is how education helped a society become more mainstream.We talk about how well the transition from the feudal system to the human one went, the value of modern education beyond religious education, and the numerous efforts made to get there. The Maunathul Islam Sabha has changed a society into a revolutionary one by beginning as a religious organisation and introducing the populace to modern education. Despite the ongoing opposition, the church reached out to the community and gave the students the opportunity to participate in politics and other social and political issues as well as academic ones. This is the accomplishment of that institution. Later, some of their students even made it to the Kerala Legislative Assembly.
