Al Jamiatul Arabiatul Islamia, Badarpur, traces its origin to an early religious institution known as Islamia Madrasa, established in Badarpur through the sincere efforts of local scholars and well-wishers devoted to Islamic education. With steady growth and increasing public support, the institution developed into Deorail Senior Madrasa and later Deorail Title Madrasa, ultimately emerging as Al Jamiatul Arabiatul Islamia, a comprehensive center of Islamic learning.

In 1938, Deorail Title Madrasa formally began its academic activities in two rooms located in the south-western portion of the present Senior Madrasa building. During its early years, the institution benefited from the leadership of distinguished scholars. Among them were Maulana Atikul Haq (Rah.) of Sylhet, who served as Shaykhul Hadith and Principal, and later Maulana Mushahid Bayampuri (Rah.), a khalifa of Shaykhul Islam Maulana Husain Ahmad Madani, who continued the scholarly and spiritual guidance of the madrasa.

A historic turning point came in September 1947, when the eminent scholar, freedom fighter, and visionary leader Maulana Abdul Jalil Choudhury (Rah.) migrated to India and settled in Badarpur on the call of his revered teacher Shaykhul Islam Husain Ahmad Madani (Rah.). He joined Deorail Title Madrasa on 1 October 1947 as a Muhaddith (teacher of Hadith). Following the departure of Maulana Mushahid Bayampuri after partition, Maulana Abdul Jalil Choudhury (Rah.) assumed the responsibilities of Shaykhul Hadith and Principal. Under his dynamic leadership, the madrasa entered a new era of progress and soon earned recognition as one of the leading Islamic institutions in North East India.

As student enrollment increased and educational activities expanded, the existing space became insufficient. To support growth, additional land was arranged near the national highway, and on 28 February 1954, the foundation of new buildings was laid by Shaykhul Islam Husain Ahmad Madani (Rah.). Teaching activities later shifted to the newly constructed facilities, enabling the institution to expand further.

During the 1960s, significant changes in the state madrasa curriculum reduced the emphasis on Islamic subjects. Recognizing the long-term impact of this shift, Maulana Abdul Jalil Choudhury (Rah.) strongly advocated for preserving authentic Islamic education. He envisioned a comprehensive institution that would safeguard Islamic scholarship while incorporating necessary general education. Although his efforts to reform the curriculum system were not widely supported at the time, he remained committed to establishing an ideal Islamic educational model.

In line with this vision, a major expansion took place. Following the annual conference and Khatme Bukhari gathering in January 1970, the foundation for further development was laid, and by January 1971, the institution evolved into a full-fledged Islamic educational center with multiple academic divisions. These included the primary level, senior madrasa level, title level, and advanced studies comprising Tafsir, Ifta, and research. Hifz (Qur’an memorization) and vocational training were also incorporated to provide comprehensive educational development.

Through continuous dedication and scholarly leadership, the institution grew in reputation and influence, attracting students from across the region. By the mid-1980s, the expanded institution came to be known as Al Jamiatul Arabiatul Islamia, reflecting its comprehensive scope and its role as a center for advanced Islamic scholarship.

Since its establishment, the institution has preserved its tradition of religious scholarship, discipline, and moral training. It continues to serve as an important center of Islamic learning, producing scholars, teachers, and community leaders who contribute to religious guidance and social development across North East India and beyond.
