Jamiul-Uloom Jawadia known as Jawadia Arabic College is a famous Deeni Madarasa (religious educational institution) of Shia Muslims in Banaras (Varanasi) India. 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 the founder Maulana Sajjad Al-Husaini made a public appeal to support it financially due to limited resources. The people of Banaras offered a warm welcome to this appeal and participated generously donating their money, jeweleries, even homes, so the dream of such a college became true. The present constitution of Jamiul-Uloom Jawadia was written by Maulana Syed Muzaffar Husain Al-Husaini, who was the first "HAADI" (supreme authority) of its managing body, after passing away of Maulana Syed Mohammad Sajjad Al-Husaini. After him the second "HAADI" was Aal-e-Jawad-ul-Ulama Mulla Syed Mohammad Tahir Al-Husaini and currently it is being supervised by Maulana Syed Ahmad Hasan (Imam-e-Jum'ah of Banaras), the third "HAADI". During the period of 82 years, this college has done great jobs through production of a huge number of religious research scholars and Islamic clerics so far. The last degree is being awarded to the students is "FAKHR-ul-AFAZIL". The golden period of its life was the duration of management and principal ship of Zafar-ul-Millat Maulana Syed Zafar-ul-Hasan Rizvi from the point of rapidly progress, building constructions and making it popular and familiar among the people of India. Also he released a religious monthly magazine by name of "AL-JAWAD" as a 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. The first principal was Mulla Syed Mohammad Yusuf Zangipuri and the second one was Allamah Syed Mohammad Razi Zangipuri and presently Maulana Syed Shamim-ul-Hasan Rizvi is holding the post of fourth principal since 1983.
