This is known as the "Mother Madarasa of South India" similar to Darul Uloom of the north.

The Imams of the Madarasa played a vital role in forming the strong Islamic institution in South India. The famous Tamil translation of Al-Quran by Hazrat Moulana Abdul Hameed Bakavi(Rahamathullahi Alaihi) was acknowledged by the eminent Muftis and Alims of this Madarasa.
