Jamia Nazmia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamia Nazmia is one of the leading centres of Shia Islamic education in the city of Lucknow, India. It was founded on the 8th Jamadi-ul-Awwal 1308 Hijri (February 2, 1890) making it the oldest Shia religious institution of India. The current principal Maulana Syed Hamidul Hasan (entitled "Ameer-ul-Ulama") has been working with the institution since 1969, after his return from Najaf where he went for religious studies.
Maulana Syed Faridul Hasan, son of Maulana Syed Hamidul Hasan, is the principal of Nazmia Arabic College - the government funded part of the Madrasa. Maulana Syed Hamidul Hasan remains principal of Jamia Nazmia.
Teachers at Jamia Nazmia include Maulana Syed Mohammad Shakir Naqvi Amrohvi, Maulana Syed Ibne Haider, Maulana Mehmood Ahmad, Maulana Mohd Mujtaba Husain, Maulana Shahenshah, Maulana Ghafir, Maulana Murtuza Parvi, and Maulana Syed Mohammad Afzaal Naqvi. Mr Taqi Raza (ex prof Mahanagar Boys College) is the President of the Managing Committee of Nazmia.
Jamia Nazmia was established by the late and revered scholar Ayatollah Syed Najmul Hasan (also known as Najmul Millat).
Sultanul Madaris is also another madrasa in Lucknow that works hand-in-hand with Jamia Nazmia.
