Jamia Qurania Arabia Lalbagh is an institution for higher Islamic studies in Dhaka, Bangladesh.[5] It has seven education sections from kindergarten to post-graduate levels.
History
This institute was founded by a group of Islamic scholars led by Jafar Ahmad Usmani, Mozahide Azam Shamsul Haq Faridpuri,[6] 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.[7]
