Buzurg Santoshpur Karamatia Fazil Madrasah (Arabic: المدرسة الفاضلة الكرامتية بِبزرك سنتوشفور, Bengali: বুজর্গ সন্তোষপুর কারামতিয়া ফাযিল মাদ্রাসা) is a madrasa located in Mithapukur, Rangpur District, Bangladesh.[1]

History

[edit]

In 1946, a Muslim missionary from Arabia known as Pir Mohiuddin settled in this area. The local community welcomed his initiative to establish a furqania madrasa in the area, which was completed in 1948. The madrasa was named after Karamat Ali Jaunpuri, a 19th-century Islamic scholar celebrated for reformist activities in Bengal who died in Rangpur in 1873.[2] Twelve years after its establishment, the madrasa was given dakhil status. It attained alim status in 1962 and fazil in 1972.[3][4]

Infrastructure

[edit]

The madrasa is composed of one administrative building and academic building. It includes facilities such as a science laboratory, the Sheikh Russel computer laboratory, a library and a teachers conference room. The school premises is approximately 0.68 acres, with a total of 28 acres of land.[3]
