Al Ameen (newspaper)

Al Ameen is a Malayalam language newspaper with a prominent place in the history of the Indian independence movement, particularly in the Malabar region of Kerala. It was first established by Mohammed Abdur Rahiman in 1924 as a platform to support the Indian National Congress and the Khilafat Movement while also addressing issues of Muslim reform in Malabar. Over the years, it became a significant voice for freedom and social justice.

The newspaper was initially published as a tri-weekly and later became a daily in 1930. However, it faced multiple interruptions in its publishing history due to its political stance, including being banned by the Madras government in 1939 for supporting India's non-cooperation in World War II. Despite these challenges, the spirit of Al Ameen has continued through several phases of revival.

In 2024, on the centenary of its founding, Al Ameen transitioned to a fully digital format, marking a new chapter in its storied history. The digital edition of the newspaper was launched on 23 November 2024, coinciding with the death anniversary of its founder.
