Kurchaloy Islamic Institute

In 1988, a religious figure, entrepreneur, philanthropist, Nasuha-Khadzhi Akhmatov founded the first "North Caucasian Madrasah" in the North Caucasus, where everyone had the opportunity to study the canons of the Islamic religion, at the same time he turned to Akhmad Kadyrov for support in order to implement his plans. At that time, Akhmad-Khadzhi Kadyrov was a specialist scientist-theologian. He graduated from the Bukhara madrasah "Mir-i Arab" and the Tashkent Islamic Institute. Initially, the institute was named in honor of the founder of Nasuha-Khadzhi Akhmatov.[1]

On April 29, 1991, the madrasah was transformed into a higher religious educational institution, the Kurchaloyev Islamic Institute. In 2004, after the death of the President of the Chechen Republic Akhmad-Khadzhi Kadyrov, on the initiative of Nasuha-Khadzhi Akhmatov, the institute was renamed the Kurchaloyev Islamic Institute named after A-Kh. Kadyrov.[2]
