About
Al-Jameatul-Islamia Qasemul Uloom Charia, commonly known as Charia madrasa, is a Qawmi madrasa located in Mirzapur union, Hathazari Upazila, Chittagong District, Bangladesh. The institution was established in 1944 by Saeed Ahmad Sandwipi, who began teaching a small group of students under a mango tree near a local mosque. Unlike the conventional model followed by many madrasas in the country, which typically develop progressively from elementary to advanced levels, Charia madrasa initially introduced advanced religious studies and later incorporated primary and intermediate levels of instruction.
