Darul Hadis Latifiah (Arabic: دار الحديث لطيفية), formerly known as Madrasah-e-Darul Qirat Majidiah (Arabic: المدرسة دار القراءات المجيدية), is a secondary (11–20 age range) boys, Islamic, private school and sixth form in Bethnal Green, Greater London, England. It achieved the status of a secondary school in 1999.[1] Parents and community leaders under the guidance of Abdul Latif Chowdhury (Fultali Saheb) led the initial foundation of the madrasa in 1978.

History

[edit]

Madrasah-e-Darul Qirat Majidiah was established in 1978 by parents and community leaders under the guidance of Abdul Latif Chowdhury Fultali, who named it after his father Shah Abdul Majid Chowdhury.[4][1] Classes were originally held at a rented property in New Road, London, E1. Through private donations local community leaders raised funds to buy a property in 1981 at 46-48 Cannon Street Road, London, E1 0BH. The present building at 1 Cornwall Avenue, London, E2 0HW was purchased in 2005.

The original madrasa delivered Bengali and Qur'anic classes, on average to students; in excess of 200 and aged between 5 and 16. The classes were weekdays from 5 pm to 7 pm, and weekends from 10 am to 1 pm.[5]

In 1998, the institution was renamed Darul Hadis Latifiah, after its founder, and subsequently established as a secondary school and college, where students receive a full secondary education in line with the National Curriculum as well as being educated in Islamic Studies, Bengali and Urdu.[5]
