Al Jamiatul Arabia Nasirul Islam, commonly known as Nazirhat Bara Madrasa, is a Qawmi madrasa located in Nazirhat, Fatikchhari Upazila, in the Chittagong District of Bangladesh. It was established in 1912 by Sufi Azizur Rahman and two associates. Although it is one of the earliest Qawmi madrasas in the country, the Dawra-e-Hadith program—the highest level of Qawmi education—was not introduced until about 70 years after its founding. Infrastructure and academic programs were expanded during the period when Shamsuddin served in an administrative capacity. As of 2025, the institution is led by Habibur Rahman Qasmi. Since 1993, it has published a monthly periodical titled Dawatul Haq, which functions as its official publication.
