Darul Uloom Blackburn, also known as Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda, is an Islamic independent school for boys located in Blackburn in the English county of Lancashire.[1] The name Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda means The College of Knowledge and Guidance.
The school was founded in 1997[2] by Mufti Abdus-Samad Ahmed, the current principal. A very quietly spoken man in nature. The majority pupils that attend the school are local, but some boys come from around the UK, and a small minority are international students.[3] The school therefore offers boarding facilities for about a third of its pupils.[4] Jamiah received outstanding by BSI in 2012 in both its boarding and school.
