Draft:Al-Falah School
School in Jeddah and Makkah, Saudi Arabia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Falah School (Arabic: مدرسة الفلاح, Madrasat al-Falaḥ; or abbreviation: "al-Falah") is one of the oldest schools in Saudi Arabia. It was founded by the Saudi pearl merchant Haj Mohammed Ali Ridha Zaynal on December 7, 1905, in the city of Jeddah.[1][2] Six years later, he opened a well-known branch in Mecca.[1] Haj Zaynal founded other branches in Mumbai, Bahrain, Dubai, and Hadhramaut, but they did not continue as the school’s first two branches in Jeddah and Mecca did.[3][2]

Comment: This could be notable, given its history, but the sources cited do not establish that: the only new sources added since the previous decline are primary ones, which do not contribute towards notability per WP:ORG. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Establishment
in Jeddah, it is located next to Barha Al-Zubaidi, and in Mecca it was first built in the Al Qushahiyah neighborhood, then it moved to the Al-Bab neighborhood in Al-Nassif, then it returned to Al-Qushashiyah, then to Al-Shubaikah, and to Al Nuzha, and finally to Al Diyafa where it is located to this date.[2]
The idea of establishing the school goes back to the merchant Muhammad Zainal, who was saddened by the illiteracy in Saudi Arabia at the dawn of the twentieth century,[1][2] so he approached the Turkish governor, assisted by Sheikh Abdul Raouf Jamjoom, with a request to establish a school. The governor agreed, and the Haj’s wife, Khadija Abdullah Zainal, presented it. She is the daughter of the Mayor in Jeddah. She used her jewelry and pearls to buy the school building and finance it.[4]
