Jamiatul Uloom Al-Islamia Lalkhan Bazar (Arabic: الجامعة العلوم الإسلامية لالخان بازار), popularly known as Lalkhan Bazar Madrasa (Bengali: লালখান বাজার মাদ্রাসা), is a Qawmi madrasah situated in the Lalkhan Bazar area of port city Chittagong.[2] [3] The jamia is founded by Mufti Izharul Islam.[4] His elder son Mufti Harun Izhar is the assistant director of the jamia.[5]
The Lalkhan Bazar Madrasah offers the students Islamic education from the very initial stage up to the highest level. It also offers Specialization (equivalent to a PhD) to the students who have successfully completed Takmil (MA).
Lalkhan Bazar Madrasah is one of the three large madrasahs — along with Darul Uloom Muinul Islam in Hathazari and Al-Jamiah Al-Islamiah in Patiya — that together control over 7,000 smaller schools in Bangladesh.[6] [7] The three schools are closely coordinated.[6]
