History

The Secretary-General of the Mission, Nurul Islam, set up the Khalatpur Junior High Madrasa in 1976, when he was still studying his tenth standard. In May 1984, he started the Institute of Islamic Culture, setting up a hostel for the institute in 1986 in the Madrasa building itself, supplying it with the collection of one fistful of rice from every home in his village, Khalatpur. In January 1987, it was renamed to Al-Ameen Mission, inspired by the Al-Ameen Educational Society of Dr. Mumtaj Ahmed Khan and Ramkrishna mission. It was later financially supported by industrialist Mustaque Hossain and many others.
