School of Dar El-Ulum was emerged in 1872 to graduate teachers of Arabic language and literature at primary and preparatory schools. In 1885, department of translation was established at Dar El-Ulum to prepare specialist translators required for working at high schools to translate lessons that were taught in French and English into Arabic.

In 1888, a new task was added to Dar El-Ulum; it is preparing graduated to work at careers of legal courts, thus, study curricula were modified for that purpose.
