Al-Jāmiʿah al-Islāmiyyah al-Yūnusiyyah (Arabic: الجامعة الإسلامية اليونسية), also known as Jamia Islamia Yunusia (Bengali: জামেয়া ইসলামিয়া ইউনুছিয়া), is one of the Qawmi Jamiahs of Bangladesh located in the neighbourhood of Paikpara in Brahmanbaria.[3] [4] As of 1998, it controlled most of the other madrasahs in Brahmanbaria.[5] [6] [7]
It was established by Abu Taher Muhammad Yunus, after whom the Madrasah is named, in 1914 and teacher was Motiur Rahman. Then it was headed by another Deobandi scholar Fakhr-e-Bangal Allamah Tajul Islam and later Shamsul Haque Faridpuri from 1928 to 1935. Five students were killed during the 2001 Fatwa Movement. The current Muhtamim is Mufti Mubarakullah and teacher is Shamsul Haq Saraili.
