What Imam Bukhari Trust (ইমাম বুখারী ট্রাস্ট) does

Imam Bukhari Trust (ইমাম বুখারী ট্রাস্ট) is a Bangladesh-based non-profit Islamic trust established on October 1, 2017, by prominent Bangladeshi Islamic scholars and educators. Headquartered in Dhaka, it serves as the custodian of the Imam Bukhari Jame Masjid Complex—a six-story, 9,500+ square foot facility under construction at New Dhaka City, Palashpur, designed to accommodate 3,000 worshippers with separate facilities for women, an international-standard library modeled after Masjid An-Nabawi, a Dawah Center, language education facilities, Itikaf accommodations, and guest housing. The trust also operates two educational subsidiaries: Kulliyyatul Quranil Karim wad-Dirassatil Islamiyyah, offering secondary through master's-level Islamic education with a Saudi-aligned Sanaviyyah curriculum and scholarship pathways to international universities, and Darul Hadith Arabic Madrasa, an Arabic-language K-12 school announced in 2023.

The trust's product portfolio also includes a Quran Learning Center (Tahfizul Quran, children's and adult education), digital resources (online library, e-books, e-Quran, e-dictionary), and Dawah Center programming. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML systems, or commercial digital products are disclosed; service delivery is facility- and community-based. The operating technology footprint is a basic website (imambukharimasjid.org) with online resources and donation functionality.

The revenue model is entirely donation-based, accepting one-time, monthly, and annual contributions from individuals and families (including Sadqah Jariyah), collected via two dedicated bank accounts at Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited and a personal bKash mobile payment account. All educational programs and religious services are offered free of charge. The organization employs approximately 6 people, has no external investors, no disclosed revenue, and operates exclusively within Bangladesh, with future scholarship outflows to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

Broad incumbents

• Al-Azhar University: Premier Islamic higher-education institution offering degrees in Shari'ah, 'Aqeedah, Fiqh, and Arabic. Comparable as a global reference point for Islamic scholarship and one of the explicitly listed scholarship destinations (Egypt) for the trust's students.
• Islamic University of Madinah: Major Saudi Arabian institution providing Islamic higher education primarily in Arabic and serving international students. Comparable because Imam Bukhari Trust explicitly models its Sanawbiyyah curriculum and scholarship pathway on Madinah-aligned standards and sends scholars there for PhD training.
• Islamic Foundation Bangladesh: Government body overseeing Islamic education, mosque affairs, and Dawah activities in Bangladesh. Comparable as a Bangladesh-anchored institutional operator of mosques and Islamic education programs, though it operates nationwide as a regulator/implementer rather than a single-site private trust.

Direct peers

• International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC): Private Bangladesh-based Islamic university offering programs in Islamic studies alongside general academics with Arabic-medium instruction. Directly comparable to the Kulliyyatul Quranil Karim as a private Islamic higher-education institution in Bangladesh.
• Darul Ihsan University: Private Islamic university in Bangladesh offering programs combining Arabic-medium Islamic sciences with modern education. Directly comparable to the Kulliyyatul Quranil Karim as a private Bangladeshi Islamic higher-education operator.
• Islamic University, Kushtia: Public Bangladeshi university dedicated to Islamic studies and Arabic offering undergraduate through graduate programs. Closely comparable to the Kulliyyatul Quranil Karim in mission and academic scope, though larger, public, and operating under government oversight.

Regional players

• International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM): Southeast Asian Islamic university combining Islamic and modern sciences with English-medium instruction. Comparable because it is one of the trust's named scholarship destinations (Malaysia) and represents the regional model of integrated Islamic higher education.

Others

• Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board: Government regulator overseeing Dakhil, Alim, and Fazil madrasa examinations in Bangladesh. Comparable because Darul Hadith Arabic Madrasa sits within the broader Bangladesh madrasa regulatory framework this board administers.
