History

It was founded by Shibli Nomani, a Sunni Muslim scholar in February 1914. Nomani failed to establish the Academy in Lucknow, it was established in Azamgarh at Nomani's mango orchard.[4] It was established on 21 November 1914, 3 days after Nomani's death by Maulana Hamiduddin Farahi. The founders included Maulana Syed Sulaiman Nadvi, Maulana Abdus Salam Nadvi and Maulana Masood Ali Nadvi.[6]

In February 2016, the academy denied Five lacs grant of Government of Uttar Pradesh and termed it as an insult to an Islamic institution. The academy asked for a grant of 22 crores, but Government passed only 5 Lacs.[7]
