Oomerabad Village (Tirupathur District, Ambur Taluk), TAMIL NADU :

Renowned Islamic scholar and Chancellor of Jamia Darussalam Oomerabad, Maulana Kaka Sayeed Ahmed Oomeri, has  passed away on Saturday, May 11, 2024, in Oomerabad, Tamil Nadu. He also held the esteemed position of Vice President of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB).

Maulana Kaka Sayeed Ahmed Oomeri hailed from the distinguished Kaka family of Oomerabad, renowned for their enduring contributions to education and philanthropy. The family’s legacy dates back to his great-grandfather, the esteemed philanthropist and hides and skins merchant, Kaka Mohammad Oomer Sahib. In 1924, Kaka Mohammad Oomer Sahib founded Jamia Darussalam College, a testament to his commitment to education. The college’s location, Oomerabad, was named in honor of his invaluable contributions.

Jamia Darussalam, now a part of a broader educational society, remains a beacon of education and service. It encompasses a Tamil medium primary school, an Urdu medium primary school, a technical institute focusing on computer education, and Jamia Hospital, a comprehensive healthcare facility catering to the community’s healthcare needs.

The passing of Maulana Kaka Sayeed Ahmed Oomeri leaves a profound void in the scholarly and educational spheres. However, his enduring contributions and teachings will continue to inspire generations to come. The entire community extends heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and associates during this period of mourning.
