Darul Uloom Rahmaniya, located in Supaul, Birol, Darbhanga (Bihar), is an old and renowned Islamic seminary that has long been serving the cause of Islamic knowledge, promoting the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, and producing notable scholars. The sacrifices and services of its senior administrators, caretakers, and teachers have played a vital role in the academic and administrative development of this institution. The following is a brief introduction of the respected administrators (Arbab-e-Ihtimam) along with short biographical notes.

Hazrat Maulana Syed Kamaluddin (رحمہ اللہ) was the first rector of Darul Uloom Rahmaniya.

His humility, honesty, administrative abilities, and affection for students are still remembered in the hearts of the locals and the graduates. During his tenure, the institution stepped towards stability and gained a distinct identity.

Maulana Muhammad Qasim Supaulvi (رحمہ اللہ) was not only a dedicated and sincere administrator but also a freedom fighter. He silently, sincerely, and steadfastly contributed to the progress and development of Darul Uloom Rahmaniya. During his leadership, the discipline and internal structure of the institution were strengthened. His simplicity, sincerity, and hard work practically empowered the madrasa.

He was a distinguished thinker, a dignified and authoritative scholar of his time. Under his leadership, Darul Uloom Rahmaniya gained wide recognition across the Mithilanchal and Seemanchal regions. The madrasa enjoyed great prestige and influence among both common people and scholars. He played a significant role in raising the academic and spiritual standards of the institution, making the curriculum more comprehensive, and expanding teaching activities. During his tenure, several buildings were expanded, and facilities were greatly improved. His religious, academic, spiritual, and reformative services are remembered with deep respect. Under his supervision, the institution earned remarkable fame in scholarly circles. The departments of Daurah-e-Hadith and Darul Qaza were established during his period.

He strengthened the educational and spiritual atmosphere of Darul Uloom Rahmaniya, organized the team of teachers effectively, and made several important academic decisions that placed the institution on the path of further progress. His era is considered significant in terms of academic and administrative development.

The current rector, Hazrat Maulana Dr. Muhammad Shahabuddin Nadwi Azhari (مدظلہ العالی), is a distinguished scholar well-versed in both religious and contemporary sciences. After completing his Alimiyyah and Fazeelat from Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, he pursued MPhil and PhD in Hadith from Al-Azhar University (Egypt). He has traveled to numerous countries, closely studying their educational and training systems, and incorporated these experiences into his work.

The construction, development, and scholarly services of Madrasa Darul Uloom Rahmaniya, Supaul are, in fact, the result of the tireless efforts of its esteemed rectors, responsible administrators, respected teachers, and staff members. At present, the Madrasa is blessed with the dedicated services of two deputy rectors: Hazrat Maulana Mufti Mohibullah Qasmi, Finance Administrator of the Madrasa, and Hazrat Maulana Mufti Muhammad Touheed Mazahiri. They work day and night with utmost diligence in managing both internal and external affairs. In the academic and structural development of the institution, these two honorable personalities—along with other teachers and staff—play a vital role. Similarly, with regard to the accounts and other important administrative responsibilities of Madrasa Rahmaniya, the institution is served by Master Syed Mohammad Saqib Nizami, the successful successor (grandson) of Master Syed Kamal Ahmad (late), former Deputy Rector and Treasurer of Madrasa Rahmaniya, Supaul. He is currently serving as the Office In-charge, Treasurer, and Trustee. The sincere efforts of these individuals have made this institution a center of knowledge, training, religious service, and spiritual guidance. May Allah Almighty fill the graves of all the deceased with light, and may He accept the noble efforts of the current administrators and teachers. Aameen.
