Established in 1966, the madrasah offers both secondary and tertiary Islamic education. It is affiliated with the Islamic Arabic University for its degree programs and the Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board for its secondary levels.[1][3]
History
The institution was founded on 1 January 1966 with the aim of providing Islamic and general education in the haor regions of Sunamganj. It was established by Maulana Md. Abdul Matin, a local Islamic scholar. Initially, the institution was named Maijbari Islamia Madrasah.
Due to financial difficulties in its early years, the management of the madrasah was transferred to an organization called "Sunamganj Islami Sangstha" in 1992. Following this structural change, it was renamed Al-Hera Jamea Islamia.[4]
