About the Institute
Qawmi Madrasa refers to independent, non-governmental Islamic educational institutions run according to the Deobandi ideology.
This educational movement originated in 1866 with the establishment of 'Darul Uloom Deoband' in Deoband, Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, India. In Bangladesh, this movement began in 1901 with the founding of Darul Uloom Hathazari.
Main Characteristics:
- Management
- These institutions are funded entirely by public donations and charity from the Muslim community, operating without government financial assistance or control. Many madrasas provide students with free education, lodging, and food.
- Syllabus
- They primarily follow the 'Dars-e-Nizami' curriculum, which typically spans 16 to 17 years. The main subjects taught include the Quran, Hadith, Fiqh, Arabic language, and literature.
- Board & Recognition
- The highest authority for Qawmi Madrasas in Bangladesh is Al-Haiatul Ulya Lil-Jamiatil Qawmia Bangladesh. In 2018, the government recognized the highest Qawmi degree, 'Dawraye Hadith', as equivalent to a Master's degree in Islamic Studies and Arabic.
- Total Number
- There are currently more than 19,199 Qawmi Madrasas across Bangladesh.
