About
It was founded in 1928 by Munaitiq-e-Zaman Maulana Syed Mohammad Sajjad Al-Husaini, the elder son of Jawad-ul-Ulama Ayatollah Syed Ali Jawad Al-Husaini. The main goal of its establishment was the advance provision of especial courses for higher Islamic studies.
Before it was started, founder Maulana Sajjad Al-Husaini made a public appeal to support it financially due to limited resources, obtaining donations from the people of Banaras. The present constitution of Jamiul-Uloom Jawadia was written by Alam-ul-Aalaam Ayatullah Syed Muzaffar Husain Al-Husaini, who was the first "Haadi" (supreme authority) of its managing body, after the death of Maulana Syed Mohammad Sajjad Al-Husaini. After him the second "Haadi" was Aal-e-Jawad-ul-Ulama Mulla Syed Mohammad Tahir Al-Husaini, followed by Maulana Syed Ahmad Hasan (Imam-e-Jum'ah of Banaras).
Over the years, this college produced many religious research scholars and Islamic clerics. The last degree awarded to the students is "Fakhr-ul-Afazil". During the principalship of Zafar-ul-Millat Ayatollah Syed Zafar-ul-Hasan Rizvi there was construction at the college. He also produced a religious monthly magazine, "AL-JAWAD" as an organ for Jamiul-Uloom Jawadia in 1950. He was the third principal who was appointed directly by the supreme authority, Maulana Syed Muzaffar Husain Al-Husaini. ° Following are the principals of Jawadia Arabic College:
