Islamic University  is a public university in Bangladesh financially aided by the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. It was formed in 1985 in Kushtia under the Islamic University Act of 1980 to promote the Islamic system of education in the country. Islamic University started its academic activities on June 28, 1986. The main objective of the university is to provide for instruction in theology and other fields of Islamic studies and comparative jurisprudence and such other branches of learning at graduate and postgraduate levels and to make provisions for research, including post-doctorate research and training for advancement and dissemination of knowledge.

History

Islamic University, Kushtia was founded on November 22, 1979 at Shantidanga-Dulalpur (Kushtia-Jhenidah) by the late president Ziaur Rahman based on the recommendation of Islamic University Planning Committee headed by Professor Dr. M. A. Bari. The Islamic University Act was passed by National Assembly of Bangladesh on December 27, 1980. On January 1, 1981 the government of Bangladesh appointed Dr. A. N. M. Mamtajuddin Choudhury as the first vice-chancellor and the university became operational that year.
As construction of several important buildings began, a presidential decree was issued on May 15, 1982 to shift the university from Shantidanga-Dulalpur to Boardbazar, Gazipur on an area of 50acres. The construction of an academic building, two residential halls and other necessary infrastructures were completed. Initially two faculties (Faculty of Theology and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences) with four departments (Al-Quran, Dawah, Accounting, Management) were established and 300 students were enrolled. In 1987, two more departments (Sharia and Economics) were established. On December 28, 1988, while the infrastructure development and academic activities were in full swing, the university was again shifted to Shantidanga-Dulalpur (Kushtia-Jhenidah).
In 1991 five more departments — Bengali, English, Arabic, Islamic History, and Public Administration — were established.
Now there are 22 departments under five faculties—modern applied sciences, technological, and engineering subjects were included with the ordinary departments.
On 23 June 2009, an act of parliament assigned the president as chancellor, replacing the prime minister.
[Islamic University is one of the major public universities in Bangladesh and the largest seat of higher education in the south-west part of the country. It is a major international center for an excellent integration of Islamic Studies with the General Studies and Studies of Modern Science and Technology. The university provides both the local and foreign students with the facilities of undergraduate studies, postgraduate research and teaching. The standard of teaching is high and the facilities both for academic and extracurricular activities are of good quality. It is a campus oriented university, where the academic and administrative buildings, residential halls and gymnasium, central cafeteria and auditorium all are on one self-contained 175-acre site at Shantidanga-Dulalpur, beside the Kushtia-Khulna highway and about 24 kms south and 22 kms north of respectively the Kushtia and Jhenidah district-towns.

Islamic University, having started its academic activities on June 28, 1986 now has about 10 thousand regular students studying in 22 Academic Departments under five Faculties. The main objective for establishing Islamic University is "to provide for instruction in theology and other fields of Islamic Studies and comparative jurisprudence and such other branches of learning at Graduatge and Postgraduate level as the University may think fit and make provision for research including Post-Doctorate research and training for the advancement and dissemination of knowledge".{Clause 5(a), The Islamic University Act 1980(37)}
The University should also be considered as the affiliating authority of the Fazil and Kamil Madrasahs and shall exercise all the powers conferred on it by or under this Act. [Clause 4(2) of Islamic University (Amendment) Act, 2006]
