Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama of EK Sunnis also known as Samastha and EK Samastha [2][3] is a Sunni-Shafi'i Muslim scholarly body in Kerala.[4][5][6] The body administers Shafi'ite mosques, institutes of higher religious learning (the equivalent of north Indian madrasas) and madrasas (institutions where children receive basic Islamic education) in India.[4] The Samasta Kerala Jamiyatul Ulama (All Kerala Ulama Organisation), popularly known as Samastha, is the Sunni scholarly organization with the highest support among Kerala Muslims. The formation of the Samasta was a response of these traditional ulama to the conditions of the post-1921 era, in which Kerala Muslim society in general witnessed a radical shift from the ladder of individual leadership to the ladder of organizations.
