Anjuman-e-Ittihadul Madaris Bangladesh is one of six officially recognized Qawmi madrasa education boards in Bangladesh, operating under Al-Haiatul Ulya Lil-Jamiatil Qawmia Bangladesh. Founded in 1959 under the influence of Azizul Haque, the founder of Al Jamia Al Islamia Patiya, and with the support of Muhammad Yunus, his successor, it has developed a structured 15-year curriculum comprising six stages and central examinations. It serves both administrative and academic roles for its affiliated madrasas. Since late 2023, the board has been embroiled in internal conflict, resulting in a split into two rival factions—one led by Sultan Zauq Nadwi and Obaidullah Hamzah, and the other by Hafez Ahmadullah and Ekram Hossain Adudi.
