The Kannur Muslim Jama-ath is a well-known charitable institution, which renders social, cultural and educational services to promote the welfare of the weaker sections of the society. Under the able leadership of Shri. O.Andhi Sahib, the then chairman of Kannur Municipal Council and statesman of that time along with certain Muslim believers, the Muslim Jama-ath came into existence in 1927. The philanthropic activities planned were very moble and impressive in those days. However, there were break down due to lack of activities till 1968. Though it was streamlined and modified under the guidance of Shri. Arackal Adi Raja Ahammed Koya Thangal during 1958 the result was far from satisfactory. Again by 1968 all out efforts have been made by stalwart like Justice V. Khalid Saheb, late Panakkat Aboobacker Saheb alongwith above named personalities and a new committee was formed under the Presidential Status of (Late) Haji O.K Mohammed Kunhi Sahib. This was really the Golden age beginning of the new era of the Muslim Jamath. This institute is registered under societies act and also under "WAKF ACT".

The services of Kannur Muslim Jama-ath for the uplift of the poor sections of the society are done without looking up at caste and religion to promote the welfare of humanity. Such activities are done to maintain communal harmony and friendship enunciated by Islam. Islam is not a religion which is supposed to be concerned itself only with faith and worship and not with other spheres of life. Islam on the other hand in a complete system and way of life which provides guidance to every sphere of activities of individual and collective life.

Holy QUR'AN remainds us of our duty towards our fellowmen and society. Sura "MAUN " and " MUNAFIQUN " teach us the virtue of social service. "Remembrance of God" includes every act of service and goodness, every kind of thought and kind deed, for this is the service and sacrifice which GOD requires of us. If we fail in this the loss is our own, not any one else's, for it shows our own spiritual growth, Moreover Islam is the only religion that has given social service the status of "Ibadat". Most of the people in our country especially Muslim are very poor. Thus following the principles enunciated by Holy QUR'AN, Kannur Muslim Jama-ath is doing unique service for the welfare and uplift of the poor and needy in the society.
