The traditional and conservative Muslims had the fear that English education may lead their children to Christianity, as they witnessed in Sinhalese and Tamil communities.

His dream was realised in November 1884 with the establishment of the first Muslim English school in this country - 'AL Madurasathul Khairiyyatul Islamiah' in Colombo.

In the same year a farewell ceremony was held for Orabi at the school premises to mark his departure from Ceylon to Egypt.

On 29 August 1972, government ministers Pieter Keuneman and Badiudin Mahmud visited the school and unveiled a new five-storey building block and a three-storey science section.

Siddi Lebbe,[6] was a lawyer, educationist, scholar, philosopher, seer, writer, publisher, social reformer and visionary.

Born in Kandy to a family where intellectual and religious pursuits were encouraged, he was determined to follow his father M. L. Siddi Lebbe's footsteps.

They were educationally backward, economically stagnant, culturally isolated, religiously obscurantist, intellectually sterile and politically insignificant.

Although he was a rich man, at the time of his death, he had either sold or mortgaged the major part of his properties in order to finance these schools.

He died on 5 February 1898, the entire Muslim population has paid homage to the inspiring life and work of Marhoom Sidde Lebbe as one of the greatest sons of mother Lanka.

It is due to these factors, the Government included the name of Marhoom Sidde Lebbe in the list of National Heroes.

The discrimination in the Army and mismanagement of the Khedive led to the formation of the National Movement in 1881 under the leadership of Colonel Orabi.

Orabi led a national revolt against the injustices of the Turkish ruler Fewfik, who called on the British to protect him.

The Egyptians under Orabi fought gallantly but vainly against the British troops who entered Cairo and occupied Egypt for 70 years.

In a cold and gloomy night, these seven vanquished officers were sent, together with their families by a special train to Suez under stringent precautions.

They also established good relations with the prominent Muslim personalities on that time such as Wapichi Marikar [6] and Sidde Lebbe.

Born in 1880, Justice Akbar,[6] was the first to adore the Supreme Court Bench and he was the first Ceylon Muslim to be raised to the status of a King's Counsel.

He gave the major financial support to initiate and to form the First Muslim Boys’ School in 1884 under the name "Al Madrasathul Khariyathul Islamiya".

He always thought of his community's educational, welfare, religious and economical needs and looked out for ways and means to help with the wealth he had.

The college offers sports such as Soccer, Cricket, Volleyball, Karate, Swimming, Boxing, Carrom and Chess.
