The university is located 14 kilometres (8.70 mi) east of Kozhikode city. The foundation stone was laid by the Saudi Arabian Islamic scholar Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki in presence of Kanniyath Ahmed Musliyar and E.K Aboobacker Musliyar. It has roughly 20,00 students studying Qur'an, Hadith, Fiq’h, Arts, Science and Technology, and Theology under different institutes.
Al-Azhar University of Cairo has extended its recognition to courses taught by the Markazu Ssaqafati Sunniyya. Markaz has started a branch in Dubai under the supervision of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department of Dubai (Sunni Cultural Center, Dubai also called Dubai Markaz) with various courses in Islamic studies. Recently, a branch of the Markaz has been established as the Jamia Nizamuddin at New Delhi.
The Health service is provided by a team of doctors both in the campus hospital and the research centre. Students who are ill are treated free of charge.
