About
Al-Jameatul Arabiatul Islamia Ziri, commonly known as Ziri madrasa, is a Qawmi madrasa located in southeastern Bangladesh, founded in 1910 by Shah Ahmad Hasan. Situated in Ziri Union of Patiya Upazila, Chittagong, it is one of the oldest and third-largest institutions in the Qawmi madrasa framework. The institution introduced Dawra-e-Hadith—the highest level of traditional Islamic studies in the Qawmi curriculum—in 1920, initially under the leadership of Abdul Wadud Sandapi, who served as the first Sheikh al-Hadith. The madrasa was led by its founder for nearly six decades, and the current Director-General is Khubayb bin Tayyab. Musa Sandapi currently serves as the Sheikh al-Hadith.
