Our Mision

Institute Mission

In the early days of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) initiated madrasa education by establishing “Darul Arqam” at the foot of Safa Mountain in Mecca in 614 AD. This was the first madrasa in the history of the world whose first teacher was the Prophet (PBUH) himself. In continuation of this, after the migration of the Prophet (PBUH), the first residential madrasa “Suffa Madrasa” was established next to the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina. Where primary Islamic education was imparted. These two madrasas were the initial form of the madrasa education system.

Later, madrasa education spread widely during the Umayyad and Abbasid periods. Especially in the 11th century, with the establishment of “Nishapur” and “Nizamia Madrasa” by Nizamul Mulk in Baghdad, this system took an institutional form which became a model for the world. Where in addition to the Quran, Hadith, Fiqh, mathematics, logic, science, literature, etc. were taught. Students were provided with free accommodation, food and medical treatment. That is, both religious and secular knowledge was taught. Later, in continuation of this, high-quality madrasas were established in cities like Damascus, Cordoba, Samarkand, Herat.

In our Indian subcontinent, madrasa education started mainly in mosques during the Sultanate and Mughal periods, but later it expanded widely, where children were introduced to the Quran through reading. At that time, the madrasa of Maulana Taquddin Arabi of Mahisantosh was the oldest. In our region, Maulana Abu Tawama established a large madrasa in Sonargaon in 1278. During the Mughal period, subjects like science, mathematics, geography and astronomy were included in madrasa education. At that time, the curriculum of "Darseh Nizami" of Lucknow gained wide popularity.

The British government took various activities for the evolution and modernization of madrasa education. As the first initiative, Warren Hastings established the "Calcutta Aliya Madrasa" in 1780. Through which the institutional madrasa education program started in this subcontinent, which later expanded to Bangladesh. Later, the British government launched a project called "New Scheme" for the development of madrasa education.

After the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947, the Pakistan government took various initiatives for the development of madrasa education. One of which was the "Shamsul Haque Committee". During the Pakistan period, the "East Pakistan Madrasa Education Board" was formed and after the independence of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Madrasa Education Board (BMEB) was formed and managed by it.

In the early 20th century, with the sincere cooperation of esteemed individuals who were socially philanthropists, passionate about religious education and far-sighted, the late Hazrat Maulana Moazzam Hossain (RA), a prominent Islamic personality of Nijkunjara village, established Nijkunjara Madrasa on 1 January 1919 with the aim of imparting religious education to the boys and girls of Nijkunjara and its surrounding areas, in the renowned Feni district of present-day Bangladesh, to acquire the Quran, Hadith, Islamic philosophy, language, literature, science, mathematics, geography, Islamic etiquette and practical skills. He also donated his land to establish the Madrasa. It was named after the name of the village. At the time of its establishment, it was known as "Nijkunjara Senior Madrasa" and classes were taught up to Dakhil. Later, it was upgraded to the Alim class and teaching activities up to the Alim class were started and the name of the madrasa was changed to "Nijkunjara Alim Madrasa". On January 6, 1939, it was recognized as Dakhil and Alim Madrasa. Later, on June 1, 1948, the madrasa was included in the MPO.

In the wake of the socio-economic conditions of the country after independence, the number of students in the madrasa decreased to a few in the late eighties of the twentieth century. At that time, Maulana Abul Khair Bhuiyan was given the responsibility of the Madrasa Superintendent to restore the lost glory of the madrasa. He took the responsibility and, with the cooperation and advice of prominent people of the village, went door to door with the committee members and requested the guardians to conduct activities to increase the number of students. As a result, the number of students increased rapidly and the madrasa regained its lost glory.

From the beginning of the 21st century, efforts were made to upgrade the madrasa to a Fadil and gradually a Kamil Madrasa. After a long journey, the madrasa finally started offering Fadil classes on 9 June 2018 with the approval of the “Islamic Arabic University” and the name of the madrasa was changed to “Nizkunjara Fadil (Degree) Madrasa”. Currently, the madrasa has about nine hundred students and 20 teachers and staff of various subjects. The madrasa celebrated its centenary in 2019. The madrasa is run under the careful supervision of a management committee consisting of prominent figures of the region and selected forty-four scholars, and currently the madrasa has become one of the best institutions in the region.
