Jamia At A Glance
In our country India, successive and tireless efforts were carried out by Muslim theologians (Ulamas) of the time to establish Madrasas for the survival of Islamic Ideology and to safeguard the moral teachings of Islam. They found no way out save the opening of new places of learning.
As a result, the fresh qualified generation out of these institutions spread themselves around the country and took charge of their predecessors and dedicated themselves in discharging their duties in the service of flinching humanity. These institutions bred such Ulamas not only in India but also the whole of Islamic world took benefit of them. Our country India has no match in the world; especially in term of the works on Hadith by Indian theologians.
That’s why, the existence of schools and madrasas in the country is a great mean of protection and dissemination of Islamic teaching in the interest of groping humanity.
Under these targets, this institution (Jamia Islamia) was founded with an invocation made by Sheikh-Al-Hadith Maulana Mohammad Zakaria Kandhelwi about more than thirty two years ago.
He uttered in his invocation: “I pray O’ Allah! Turn this institution into a great university.”
I strongly apprehend that this Jamia came into existence under the effect of the invocation made by that great and reverend personality and all the required resources poured down which none could imagine. Ultimately, I have resolved and intended to stand and escort the institution in the line of great Islamic Universities of the world. Attempts are ever on to stud the library with the books of knowledge & learning, befitting the need of the readers. With Allah’s blessings, the library contains about One Lac of books so far. The work of colleting books is still on and shortly it may cross the number of one lakh of books, turning the library into a place where knowledge – seekers converge.
For this Jaima, the great scholars of India as Hazarat Maulana Mohammad Ahmad sb. Pratapghari; Syed Abul Hasan Nadwi; Hazrat Maulana Abdul Haleem sb. Jaunpuri; Hazarat Maulana Qari Siddique sb. Bandawi and the attending personalities of Sheikh- Al Hadith, expressed their pleasure and thus Jamia was inaugurated in the year (1411 Hijri) corresponding to 1990 AD. At present, a good number of students is accommodated under the proper arrangement of the Jamia hostel along with a number of teachers and other employees required to the Jamia.
The classes from Nursery to Arabic 8th standard are running according to the syllabus prepared for the courses. The department of Hifz (Memorising the Holy-Qur`an) is consisted on a number of class-rooms for correct reading of the verses and recite the Holy-Qur`an in a good tone. Primary classes are running at a short distance adjoining to the village Muzaffarpur with a good number of students on roll. This Primary Section is after the name of Madrasa Quba. Many other seminaries in different areas are funded and assisted by the institution Jamia Islamia Muzaffarpur, Azamgarh. The Certificates issued hereby are accepted at other prominent Universities of the country; as Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi, (JNU) Jawahar Lal Nehru University, Delhi, Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti University, Luknow. (BHU) Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi have also recognized the certificate issued hereby. Further Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad takes the certificate equivalent to Graduation for the admission to Post Graduation. Madrasa Education Board, Patna (Bihar) has shortly approved the certificate of “Alimiyat” to go for Government services.
A good number of qualified students from the institution are engaged to their different jobs within the country and even outside, but holding the banner of morality, fraternity and brotherhood in the social system.
With the blessings of Allah (ST) this institution is heading onward with lightning speed to achieve the goal set by its founder Prof. Maulana Dr. Taqiuddin Nadwi. The institution has an intention to establish a department for specialization in the field of “Prophetic Traditions”. May Allah (ST) fulfill its intentions and safeguard it from all evils around .
