Al-Jāmiʿah al-Ahliyyah Dār al-ʿUlūm Muʿīn al-Islām (), popularly known as the Hāṭhazārī Madrasa () or the Great Madrassah (), is a Qawmi institution of Hathazari, located in Bangladesh's Chittagong District. Established in 1901, it is the largest and oldest Deobandi seminary in the country. According to a 2009 National Bureau of Asian Research report, the highly reputed institution ranks among top ten madrasa in the subcontinent. History Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam was first established in 1896 CE. It was moved to its present location in Hathazari, Bangladesh in 1901. The Jamiah introduces the Islamic education and Reformation movement in this region. A few ulama of the Chittagong region took the decision to establish the madrasa in accordance to the constitution of Darul Uloom Deoband in North India. To apply this decision, Habibullah Qurayshi along with Abdul Wahid Bengali, Sufi Azizur Rahman and Abdul Hamid Madarshahi established the madrasah. The Hathazari Madrasah became "arguably the most reputable Quomi madrasa in the country." Starting in 2004, the Hathazari Madrasa has been at the centre of media attention due to allegations that it is a haven for "terrorist" training. This is the first time in the institution's long history that such allegations have been made against the madrasah itself. In February 2010, 40 students were arrested for clashing with police and later released. Students had snatched a service rifle.
