Shaykh Ul Islam Imam Muhammad Anwaarullah Farooqui (May Allah sanctify his secret) - Life and teachings

Jamia Nizamia which is a great Islamic university was established by Hadhrat Shaykh Ul Islam Imam Muhammad Anwaarullah Farooqui (May Allah shower His Mercy on him).  The aim behind this was to reawaken the spirit of religiousness and piety in the populace, to adorn them with Islamic education, to propagate Islam, to raise and train the youth of the community for these purposes, to train them in writing and speaking so as to make them able enough to defend the Ahle Sunnah and to propagate the true tenets of faith.  (Matla ‘Ul Anwaar, Pg. No. 70, Anwaar Ul Anwaar, Pg. No. 135/134)

By the Grace of Allah, Jamia Nizamia has absorbed this from its founder and is continuously progressing along these lines.  It is a fact that the graduates of this university are serving Islam in India and abroad.  On one hand, Hadhrat Shaykh Ul Islam (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) shouldered the responsibility of training a new generation of scholars and on the other hand, the task of benefiting his disciples was also going on.
