History
In 1959, two organizations were formed in Dhaka, Bangladesh to propagate the teachings and following of Islam. The Baitul Mukarram Society built the Baitul Mukarram mosque and Islamic scholars formed a Darul ulum (Arabic: دار العلوم; house of knowledge) to popularize and research on Islamic philosophy, culture and way of life. In 1960, the Darul ulum was renamed as Islamic Academy and was made a branch of Karachi-based Central Islamic Research Institute.
In 1972, the Islamic Academy was briefly banned for alleged support for the Pakistani Army against the Awami League. The Academy has been blamed for working to Islamize politics in Bangladesh.
On 22 March 1975, the Baitul Mukarram Society and the Islamic Academy were integrated into one the Islamic Foundation through an ordinance that led to the Islamic Foundation Act promulgated on 28 March 1975. The head office of the Foundation was located initially at a building adjacent to the Baitul Mukarram mosque. On 20-22 March 1978, the Foundation drew the attention of the Muslim world when it organized a seminar at Dhaka on human and natural resources in the Islamic countries. The seminar was sponsored by the Organisation of Islamic Countries and attended by representatives of 16 countries including. In 1979-80, development of the Foundation got a new momentum. In 1999, the head office was shifted to its own premises in the Agargaon area of Dhaka.
