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.

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.

Rahiman's vision for Al Ameen was to provide local news while also covering national and international issues, with articles drawn from various languages including English, Arabic, Urdu, and Tamil.

Published in 2019, the book chronicled the rich history of Al Ameen and its founder, Mohammed Abdur Rahiman, highlighting the newspaper’s role in the Indian independence movement.

Recognizing the cultural and historical importance of Al Ameen, Abdul Bais P collaborated with Mohammed and proposed a digital revival to adapt the publication to modern media consumption.

The digital edition continues the legacy of Al Ameen, addressing contemporary social, political, and cultural issues while upholding the principles of justice, equality, and freedom that defined its early years.

The newspaper's modern revival continues to honor this legacy by providing a platform for independent journalism that advocates for social change and community welfare.
