About Madarsa Islamia Mahmudia

Establishment: 13 Shawwal 1381 AH / 5 March 1962

Alhamdulillah! Around 62 years ago, the Madarsa was established through the efforts of pious elders. At that time, the surrounding area was engulfed in ignorance and irreligious practices, with no presence of Islamic knowledge or spiritual guidance.

In such darkness, Allah raised a devoted servant and community benefactor whose aching heart realized the dire need for a religious, spiritual, and educational institution to guide people with the light of knowledge and faith.

Thus, Hazrat Maulana Qari Muhammad Aleemuddin Qasmi (رحمہ الله) laid the foundation of this institution on 13 Shawwal 1381 AH (08/03/1962), with the blessed hands of Ustad-ul-Hind Hazrat Maulana Sayyid Fakhruddin Ahmad Muradabadi (رحمہ الله).

The Madarsa began in a small, thatched-roof building. Due to limited space, it was later expanded into a new building called "Mahmood Manzil", and this expansion continues.

School of Thought

The Madarsa follows the Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jama’at creed, based on the Hanafi school, and aligned with the Naqshbandi and Chishti spiritual orders.
