Rooted in learning, service, and community.
Founded in 1971 in Kulaura, Moulvibazar, the madrasa now runs four departments — Nurani, Hifz, Kitab and a separate women's section — across two newly-rebuilt three-storey buildings. About 400 students attend, around 150 of whom live on-site in our first-ever residential wing. The masjid was rebuilt in tiles, the pond filled in for a playground, and the whole site is under full CCTV coverage. Every brick was laid with donor support.
- Hifz (Qur'an memorisation)
