Jamia Qurania Arabia Lalbagh is an institution for higher Islamic studies in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It has seven education sections from kindergarten to post-graduate levels.
This institute was founded by a group of Islamic scholars led by Jafar Ahmad Usmani, Mozahide Azam Shamsul Haq Faridpuri,Mufti Din Muhammad Khan and Hafezzi Huzur. They planned for the establishment of this Jamiah around the historic mosque named Lalbagh Shahi Masjid in Shawwal 1370 H (1950 CE). Hafezzi Huzur was the first person who started the class of memorizing the Quran (Hifzul Quran) amid a lot of difficulties and problems. However, due to the effort of those personalities, the Jamiah now has become well known at home and abroad. Jamiah Lalbagh looks after around 70 madrasahs of this area so that they can improve their curricular activities.
The Jamiah has these education sections:
The Jamiah also teaches the students arithmetic, geography, Urdu, and Persian besides Ilm-e-Wahi. Furthermore, the madrasah has the Section of Scientific Research, Section of Printing and Publishing, and Section of the Library.
The Jamiah organizes weekly debates on different languages, symposia on Islamic activities on contemporary topics, internal competitions during study periods and a big contest at the end of each academic year, translation of Islamic thoughts and literary articles and computer training.
All the students are residents of the madrasah. The Jamiah gives free education to all students. It also lends them textbooks. Those students who attain an excellent result in the examination are rewarded. Moreover, the Jamiah provides 1,500 orphans and poor and distressed students with food and accommodation.
