Welcom to Jamia Sattraia
Jamia Sattaria Faiz-ur-Raheem is recognized as one of the oldest, most respected, and distinguished Islamic institutions in the Indian subcontinent. For nearly a century, it has remained steadfast in its mission of imparting the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah, nurturing spiritual and moral excellence, inviting people to Islam, and providing religious and ethical guidance to the Muslim Ummah.The foundation of this great institution was laid on 15 Shawwal 1352 AH (12 February 1933 CE) through the tireless efforts, sincerity, and profound religious vision of Hazrat Shah Hafiz Abdul Sattar Nankawi (رحمه الله). A God-fearing saint, eminent scholar, ascetic, Sufi master, and one of the foremost spiritual luminaries of his era, he was widely acknowledged for his piety and devotion. He was a Khalifah (spiritual successor) of Hazrat Maulana Abdul Qadir Raipuri (رحمه الله). People from all walks of life continuously sought his company for spiritual guidance and prayers. He was renowned as a Mustajab al-Da'wat—one whose supplications were accepted by Allah—and was also well known for his extraordinary spiritual insight (kashf) and miracles (karamat). By the blessings of his prayers, Allah guided countless individuals to the straight path, and even today he is remembered with deep reverence by a vast number of disciples and devotees throughout the region.The distinctive excellence of Jamia Sattaria extends far beyond the teaching of Islamic sciences. Its true hallmark lies in its unique integration of education (ta'lim), character-building (tarbiyah), and spiritual purification (tazkiyah). Students are educated in the Qur'an, Hadith, Fiqh, Tafsir, and other traditional Islamic disciplines in a manner that cultivates not only sound scholarship but also sincerity, piety, righteous conduct, and exemplary moral character. Alongside its classical Islamic curriculum, the institution also provides quality contemporary education, enabling students to meet the demands of the modern world while remaining firmly grounded in Islamic values.Over the course of its nearly century-long history, Jamia Sattaria Faiz-ur-Raheem has produced thousands of Huffaz, Ulama, Muftis, and Islamic preachers, who continue to serve Islam and the Muslim community across India and in many other parts of the world.By the grace of Allah, the institution continues to uphold the vision and mission of its revered founder with the same spirit of sincerity and steadfastness. At present, the administrative leadership of the Jamia is entrusted to Hazrat Maulana Atiqur Rahman Nankawi, the grandson of Hazrat Shah Hafiz Abdul Sattar Nankawi (رحمه الله) and the Khalifah and designated successor of Hazrat Hafiz Jameel Nankawi.The blessed personality of Hazrat Shah Hafiz Abdul Sattar Nankawi (رحمه الله) remains the spiritual soul of this institution. His enduring legacy and spiritual blessings continue to illuminate the Jamia, enabling it to carry forward its noble mission of preserving Islamic scholarship, nurturing righteous character, and serving the Ummah with distinction in every generation.
