Jamiatu Muslim Mindanao, Marawi

The Jamiatu Muslim Mindanao is one of the oldest and biggest Madaris in the Philippines. It was established by financial backing from the Agama Islam Society in 1956 by the late Sheikh Ahmad Basher, his devoted companions from the Ulama and Traditional Group. Its English Department was founded in 1987 through Board Resolution No. 1-87, series of 1987 and sought the government recognition in accordance with the provisions of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports Order No. 24, series of 1985, also known as “Guidelines and Standards for the Recognition and Operation of Madaris.” In the same year, Ma’had Mindanao Al-Arabie Al-Islamia was changed and adopted its present name.
