History
The madrasa was founded in 1919 by Maulana Shah Arkan Ali. It then came under the leadership of his son, Maulana Badrul Alam Shaykh-e-Renga, who was a mufassir and khalifa of Hussain Ahmad Madani, with Maulana Sikandar Ali serving as vice-principal. 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.{{cite web |url=http://www.rengamadrasah.com/rengamadrasah/modules/content/index.php?id=2&page=0 |title=Jamia Tawakkulia Renga at a Glance (page 1) |website=Jamia Tawakkulia Renga |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304043738/http://www.rengamadrasah.com/rengamadrasah/modules/content/index.php?id=2&page=0 |archive-date=4 March 2016}}
