Allama Qamaruddin was appointed as the madrasa's first Shaykhul Hadith and he served for two years. The second Shaykhul Hadith was Allama Shihabuddin, a khalifa of Abdul Karim Kouria, who served for 47 years. The third principal of the madrasa was Maulana Shamsul Islam Khalil ibn Shaykh-e-Renga who served from 1977 to 2012. He was succeeded by his brother, Maulana Muhiul Islam Burhan ibn Shaykh-e-Renga, who is the current principal.[5]
