History
Ghiyathiyyah madrasas
Sultan
Taqi al-Din Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Fasi worked in this madrasa as teacher of Maliki fiqh and other teachers, included Jamal ad-Din Qarshi, Shihab ad-Din Saghani, Muhy ad-Din Fasi, Abul Hasan al-Haskafi and the Shibi family.[5]
The Ghiyathiyyah of Madinah Tayyibah was situated near Bab as-Salam in The Holy
Sharif of Makkah Mukarramah, Hasan ibn Ajlan, decided to use the money given by the Sultan for another project instead.[6] The madrasas were said to be the best institutions in the region during this period.[1]
Later madrasas
A later Bengali sultan, Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah, had good relations with Barakat ibn Hasan, the Sharif of Makkah Mukarramah, sent him presents and robes of honour.[6] The Sultan gained permission from the Sharif to construct a madrasah in the city of Makkah Mukarramah. He is also said to have constructed a madrasah in The Holy Madinah Munawwarah between 1428 and 1431.[7][5]
