The madrasah was built in the 15th century on the initiative of Abdulatif, the son of the famous astronomer and philosopher Ulugbek. The deciphering of the chronogram, which was written above its main entrance, confirms that this monument was built by Abdulatif in 937 (1530-1531).
In the 50s of the XX century, the Soviet government began restoration work in the madrasah. They lasted almost 10 years and remained unfinished. Only in 1998, on the initiative of the chairman of the region, Kasymov K.R. funds were allocated from the Sughd regional budget and the madrasah was restored.
Judging by the documents, in 1899 44 mullobachs (students) studied in the madrasah and 8 mudarrises (teachers) taught.
