History edit
After completing his studies at Calcutta University Sufi Muhammad Abdus Sattar started worked there as a registrar. Later he became a murid to Pir Allama Nesaruddin of Barisal Charchina Darbar, and sought permission to establish a mosque. But Pir Sahib advised him to establish a madrasa. In that context, he established this madrasa in 1948. He constructed a do-chala golpata house in his house and started the madrasa activities. The madrasa was established in the then larger Faridpur district, now located at Goalgram in Mahmudpure union of Kashiani upazila of Gopalganj district.
At first his family members and relatives strongly opposed the establishment of the madrasa, as they were highly educated in the general stream, yet he established the madrasa out of a strong desire. He dedicated most of his wealth to this madrasa. However, some Islamic personalities cooperated and supported in establishing the madrasa, among them Alhaj Momjed Miah, Md. Ismail Mia, Md. Khorshed Sardar is particularly notable. Abdus Sattar Sufi used to go from village to village collecting money from donor members to run madrasas at that time. After the death of Abdus Sattar Sufi, Alhaj Monir Hossain Bhulu Mia took over the Madrasah, he has contributed a lot to the development of the Madrasah. Thereafter the founder's son Muhammad AN Karim served as the director of the madrasa.
Institutinal Recognition edit
The madrasa received Dakhil level permission in 1954 and Alim level permission in 1959 from the East Pakistan Board of Education. Thereafter, as the education progressed and the number of students continued to increase, Fazil Level was allowed to open on 23 December 1962 by the East Pakistan Education Board vide Memorandum No. 11782/G-20. After that, when Bangladesh gained independence, on January 1, 1986, Bangladesh Madrasa Education Board allowed Hadith subject at Kamil level, (Memorandum No. 228/7). And the Madrasa was recognized as a full-fledged Kamil Madrasa in 1992 as per Memorandum 2448/5. In 1999, the Kamil level of the madrasa was admitted as an MPO institution as per Memorandum No. 139/6. The madrasa was upgraded to Kamil level with the efforts of former Food Minister. Briefly, the Madrasa was recognized by Dakhil in 1954, Alim in 1959, Fazil in 1962 and Kamil in 1992.
University affiliation edit
Until 2006, the Bangladesh Madrasa Board primarily governed all Aliya Madrasa classes in Bangladesh, including Fazil and Kamil. Subsequently, the Bangladesh government considered granting graduation status to the Fazil class of Madrasa. Consequently, the Islamic University Act was revised in 2006, leading to the affiliation of Aliya Madrasa with Kushtia Islamic University, and the elevation of Fazil and Kamil classes to undergraduate and postgraduate levels, respectively. In 2016, with the establishment of a new affiliating university, the Aliya Madrasahs were then affiliated with the Islamic Arabic University..

However, only the general section is offered at the Alim level. The Fazil level includes a pass degree, and the Kamil level offers a Hadith department.
