Kumradi Darul Ulum Senior Madrasa (কুমড়াদী দারুল উলুম সিনিয়র মাদরাসা), a Madrasa which was built in 1927, by Late Mawlana Mohammad Abdul Aziz. It was the biggest madrasa and Orphanage in Bangladesh. Female and male Muslim students got their Islamic education from this institution. There are two large building might be used for students dormitory. We assume, it was a complete residential Madrasa.

It is located at Kumradi Village of Shibpur Upazila in Narsingdi District. It contains a large area where there are five separate building complex situated in a parallel line. But, four old building has been abandoned in course of time. Only newly built two storied building along with few old building used as Madrasa. Others are just existing as an evidence of time. Some age old people say that, once it was one of the most noisy place in that region, but now we have experienced it as one of the calm & quiet places in this region.

Architectural Layout:

The architectural properties of this Madarsa complex is very simple & regular. Rest of the building of this complex are one storied with plastered rooftop. But, the most front one, just beside the main road is two storied and recent one is as well. The grave yard of the founder of this Madrasa is situated in north-west side the main building. A large pond is situated just behind the grave. There are two main gateway to enter into the madrasa complex, one is in Southern part and another is in north-east side.

Present Condition :

Present condition of these building complex is in very sensitive state. Rest of the buildings are abandoned and has no use for a long time. If proper care is taken, then within a short span of time it could be reused or proper conservation treatment could make this place presentable rather just making it of no use.

Darash Bari Madrasa (দারস বাড়ি মাদ্রাসা) is possibly the oldest Madrasa (মাদ্রাসা) of Bangladesh. According to the inscription that was found at the vicinity of the Madrasa (মাদ্রাসা) premise, it was built around 1500 AD, during the reign of Sultan Alauddin Hossen Shah. Now a days only few ruins are available. This archaeological edifice is located at the Chapai Nawabganj (চাপাইনবাবগঞ্জ) of Bangladesh.

This Madrasa (মাদ্রাসা) is located at the other side of the pond of the Darash Bari Mosque (দারস বাড়ি মসজিদ). This historical place is surrounded by dense mango forest. This dilapidated old edifice (renovated later) is having a shape of square. After visiting the mosque, you can easily visit this place within 10 minutes.
