Sufi Azizur Rahman

In response to topping the Jamat-e-Ula exams, the Mohsinia Madrasa staff requested Azizur Rahman to remain in the madrasa as a teacher. However, he did not take up this role, as he did not want a job dependent upon the British government.^[3] Instead, he joined the anti-colonial Deobandi movement under his mentor Abdul Wahid Bengali. The two joined Habibullah Qurayshi and Abdul Hamid Madarshahi to establish Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam in Hathazari. Two to three years after its establishment, Azizur Rahman began teaching at the institution and remained in this role for ten to fifteen years.^[4]

Azizur Rahman noticed the lack of religious education facilities in Fatikchhari. As a solution, he established Al Jamiatul Arabia Nasirul Islam in Nazirhat Bazar. A few years later, he entrusted the madrasa to Nur Ahmad and left for his ancestral village in Babunagar. His plan was to establish a madrasa in Babunagar.^{[citation needed]}

Azizur Rahman died in 1922, before he could establish the madrasa of Babunagar. He left behind four children, including Harun Babunagari, who established Al-Jamiatul Islamiah Azizul Uloom Babunagar in his father's owned land. Harun's son is Muhibbullah Babunagari, the incumbent Amir of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh. Azizur Rahman's granddaughter, Fatima Khatun, was the mother of Junaid Babunagari, former Amir of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh.^{[citation needed]}
