History

IPH began publishing in 1945 at a small mosque at Irimbiliyam, near Valanchery, Malappuram District.V. P. Muhammad Ali Haji (a.k.a. Haji Sahib) lead the initiative in its early stages. The office was later shifted from Irimbiliyam to Valanchery and then to Edayoor and finally to Vellimadukunnu. Abul Jalal Moulavi, T. K. Ibrahim[4] and T. Muhammed Sahib[4] headed IPH at various times. Sheikh Muhammed Karakunnu[4] has been the Director of IPH since 1982 till 2008. The current director is VK Ali.

A translation of Abul A’la Mawdudi's Towards Understanding Islam (Urdu:Risal-e-Diniyat) by V. P. Muhammad Ali Haji (a.k.a. Haji Sahib), titled 'Islam Matham' was the first book to be published by IPH. It also marked a significant shift of Islamic publications in Kerala from the hybrid Arabi-Malayalam script to the Malayalam script. It has since sold 67000 copies.[5]
