Märcaniä (Tatar: Мәрҗания, Märcaniä, مرجانیة) was a madrasa in Kazan attached to the Märcani Mosque.
Brief history
[edit]It was created around 1770 and had many (often coexisting) names, including The First Cathedral Mosque's madrasa and Yunısof's madrasa. Later, it acquired the name Märcaniä, in honour of Şihabetdin Märcani,[1] who was madrasa's mudarris between 1850 and 1889, during whose leadership the madrasa became a major center of Muslim education in the area; apart from religious subjects, mathematics, astronomy and history and other non-religious subjects were taught.
In 1918, the madrasah was officially closed, but Märcani Mosque's imam Safiulla Abdullin continued to secretly teach shakirds until 1923.[2]
