The madrasa was founded in 1919 by Maulana Shah Arkan Ali. It then came under the leadership of his son, Maulana Badrul Alam Shaykh-e-Renga, who was a mufassir and khalifa of Hussain Ahmed Madani, with Maulana Sikandar Ali serving as vice-principal. Allama Qamaruddin was appointed as the madrasa's first Shaykhul Hadith and he served for two years.

He was succeeded by his brother, Maulana Muhiul Islam Burhan ibn Shaykh-e-Renga, who is the current principal.[5]
