History

The school was founded in 1979 by Shaykh Yusuf Motala,and Shaykh Hashim Patel (Jogwari) a British Indian scholar. Initially, the Saudi Arabian government helped with finances, as it received no money from the state, and parents paid fees of £440. It was Europe's first exclusively Muslim school and started with just 80 pupils. Now the institution educates over 300 boys.

In 2015 Ofsted highlighted the Darul Uloom Al Arabiya Al Islamiya as a good example of a school "promoting British values, preventing radicalization and protecting children".[4]
