Jamia Khairul Madaris (Urdu: جامعہ خیرالمدارس) is an Islamic seminary located in the Pakistani city of Multan. Originally established in Jalandhar on 9 March 1931, the seminary moved to its current location in Multan on 8 October 1947.[1][2]

History[edit]

Khairul Madaris was originally established in Jalandhar on 9 March 1931 by Khair Muhammad Jalandhari at the suggestion of Ashraf Ali Thanwi.[3] Thanwi also became first patron of Khairul Madaris, and the later patrons included Shabbir Ahmad Usmani and Shamsul Haq Afghani.[3] It was re-established in Multan on 8 October 1947.[3] The first executive council of the seminary included Muhammad Shafi Usmani, Muhammad Idris Kandhlawi, Zafar Ahmad Usmani and Shamsul Haq Afghani.[3]

Along with Islamic education, Jamia offers formal education up to Matriculation as well as computer education. One of its branch, Al-Khair Public School offers 'O' Level and A-Level education in addition to Hifz-e-Quran.[4] The seminary opened a female wing in 1970.[5]
