Location
The madrasa is located in the northeasternmost upazila of Bangladesh, Zakiganj, in the village of Badedeorail.
History
The Badedeorail Madrasa was established by Mawlana Fatir Ali who was a descendant of Shah Ala Bakhsh, a notable Bengali Muslim scholar from the Mughal period. Initially, Ali was responsible for the teaching programmes at Badedeorail Mosque, and eventually the project expanded with the building of a separate madrasa. Its establishment was dependent upon the land donations of Asaddar Ali Chowdhury, Ajab Ali Chowdhury, Aqaddas Ali Chowdhury, Sakhayat Ali Chowdhury, Ghiyathuddin Chowdhury and Khurshid Ali Chowdhury. Later on, the madrasa campus was extended through the land donation of Abdul Latif Chowdhury Fultali, who also put much effort into the development of the madrasa.[7]
After Fatir Ali's death, the next principal was Muqaddas Ali Chowdhury of Mansurpur. He was succeeded by Tayyabur Rahman Chowdhury of Balaut, who dedicated his life to the madrasa. In his term, the number of students increased to a great number. On the request of the locals, the next muhtamim was Fatir Ali's paternal uncle Shah Abdul Majid Chowdhury. The latter employed Master Sayyid Ali Chowdhury Mansurpuri, Qari Sayyid Ali Palashpuri and Habibullah Bhadeshwari as teachers at the madrasa. Abdul Majid was succeeded by Muhammad Abdul Wahid Chowdhury, who served a long term.[1]
Although the establishment of the madrasa gained much repute, a while later its progress was disrupted and it likely closed down. After the Partition of India, Abdul Latif Chowdhury returned from Badarpur, Assam back to his home village of Fultali, Zakiganj. Through his efforts and patronship, a new stage of the madrasa's history began. Fultali undertook the role of muhtamim (president) around 1950. In 1959, the madrasa achieved Dakhil (secondary) status from the East Pakistan Madrasah Education Board. In 1975, the madrasa was destroyed by the Kalboishakhi storms. Effectively, Fultali re-established the madrasa. He was succeeded by his son, Muhammad Najmuddin Chowdhury, after his death.
In 2021, madrassa organised a centenary celebrations and a memorial publication has been completed. The memorial was presented by the
