Now the world trend is towards excessive materialism and consequently the people attach no importance whatsoever to moral values. As a result, the human values are degrading. In the absence of proper Islamic education our younger generations now end up in the grip of either faithless atheists or immoral mazonists and they easily fall prey to the innovators inside Islam itself. It is pathetic to see our younger generation being deviated from the traditional right path of Islam. As it is, our responsibility to find a permanent solution. We must have an innovative approach towards propagating the message to the Muslim masses. We have to arrange an Islamic curriculum to impart the religious education purposefully with new approach, without any compromise on the traditional authenticity at any level. For which the study materials are to be prepared on the basis of modern educational psychology. As distinct from other regions, Kerala has achieved a remarkable success in its systematic madrasa education.

The curriculum is outstanding and far better than that of the other systems prevailing in the rest of the world. The rest of the world.

It imparts consistent Islamic education which teaches the real Islamic sciences in accordance with the precepts laid down by the great Islamic luminaries of Ahlusunna Wal Jamath, i.e, Ashari and Mathureedi in matters of faith and the teachings of the four prominent imams of Madhabs in Jurisprudence. Samastha Kerala Sunni Vidyabyasa Board is aiming at the creation of an awareness of Islam in younger generation enabling them to refute the false propaganda against Islam by the enemies.
