Monthly Darul Uloom is an Urdu magazine published by Darul Uloom Deoband since 1941. Inaugurated under the supervision of Muhammad Tayyib Qasmi, with Abdul Wahid Ghazipuri as the initial editor, the magazine is currently edited by Salman Bijnori, guided by Abul Qasim Nomani. Comprising articles primarily authored by faculty members or alumni, the publication extends its focus beyond the reformation of the nation and the Muslim community. It covers a range of topics, including current religious, intellectual, social, and political issues, providing readers with insights into contemporary events and situations while also alerting Muslims to the challenges they may encounter. The magazine holds a distinct journalistic perspective on key issues related to the Deobandi movement. Though it faced cessation in the late 1940s, it was later revived by Azhar Shah Qaiser. Under his three-decade editorship, it evolved into a multidimensional publication, leaving a lasting legacy evident in the influence it exerted on other educational institutions, inspiring the creation of magazines such as Bayyināt that follow its model.
