Madrasatu l-‘Arūsiyyah (Arabic: مدرسة العروسية; Tamil: அரூஸிய்யா மத்ரஸா Arūsiyya Madrasa) is the oldest institution of Arabic and Islamic learning in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu (Tamil: தமிழ்நாடு Tamizh-Nādu). It is situated in the coastal town and Islamic centre of Kilakarai (Tamil: கீழக்கரை Kīzhakkarai). It was established in 1082 AH/1671 AD by the venerated Muslim savant and saint of the Arwi region (modern-day South India and Sri Lanka), Shaikh Ṣadaqatullāh b. Sulaimān al-Qāhirī aṣ-Ṣiddiqī (1042-1115 AH/1632-1703 AD). He is known by the Arabic epithet Mādiḥu r-Rasūl (مادح الرسول). The Tamil-speaking Muslim masses and scholars of Tamil Nadu also refer to him as Appā (Tamil: அப்பா) in their discourse and literature.
