Madrasa Aminia Islamia Arabia (best known as Madrasa Aminia) is an Islamic seminary in Delhi.[1][2]

History[edit | edit source]

Amin al-Din Dehlawi, an Islamic scholar who was a student of Mahmud Hasan Deobandi, developed an idea of establishing a madrasa in Delhi. He discussed his idea with his fellow Kifayatullah Dehlawi and invited him to support. Kifayatullah declined the offer stating that he was already occupied teaching at a religious school of his teacher Ubayd al-Haq Khan in Shahjahanpur.[3] He however suggested Amīn to consider Anwar Shah Kashmiri for this purpose.[4] Amīn reached to Anwar Shah Kashmiri who supported his idea and the Madrasa Aminia was established at Sunehri Masjid, Chandni Chowk in 1897.[4][5][6] The madrasa was shifted to Kashmiri Gate in 1917.[7]

Amīn al-Din Dehlawi served as the rector of Madrasa Aminia from the date of its inception in 1897 until his death in 1919.[8] Following Amin's death, Mahmud Hasan Deobandi appointed Kifayatullah Dehlawi the second rector, who served the position until his death in 1952.[9] Ahmad Saeed Dehlawi was appointed the rector on 13 January 1952.[10] Ahmad resigned after serving for over two and a half year, and subsequently Wasif Dehlawi became the rector in 1955.[10][11] Wasif was made to resign in 1979.[12] Ziya al-Haq Dehlawi briefly served as the rector making Wasif's son Jameelur Rahman Qasmi succeed him.[13] Following Qasmi's sudden death, Mufti Abdur Rahman became the seminary's rector.[13] Wasif's second son, Anisur Rahman Qasmi was the rector during 2017 and 2018.[13][14] As of March 2019, Hafiz Abdur Rasheed is the rector of the seminary.[15]

Hadith scholar Anwar Shah Kashmiri was seminary's first Principal (Sadr Mudarris) who was later succeeded by Kifayatullah Dehlawi, who also became the second rector, succeeding Amin al-Din Dehlawi.[16][17]

Indian Independence activist and author Muhammad Miyan Deobandi also served this seminary as Hadith Professor.[18]
