Darul uloom (, transliterated
dar al-`ulum), also spelled
darul ulum etc., is an
Arabic term which literally means "house of knowledge". The term generally means an Islamic seminary or educational institution—similar to or often the same as a
madrassa or Islamic school—although a darul uloom often indicates a more advanced level of study. In a darul uloom,
Islamic subjects are studied by students, who are known as
Tulahb.
