The Madrasah-i Rahimiyah is an Islamic seminary located in Delhi, India. It was founded by Shah Abdur Rahim, the father of Shah Waliullah Dehlawi, during the reign of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.[1] After the death of Shah Abdur Rahim in 1718 Shah Waliullah started teaching at the Madrasah. It became a leading institute of Islamic learning and was acknowledged as the most influential seminary in the Indian subcontinent.[2] Later, when Shah Wali Ullah died, his sons Shah Abdul Aziz, Shah Rafi and Shah Abdul Qader began teaching here,[3][4] with Abdul Aziz becoming its principal. Following the death of Abdul Aziz, the leadership of the Madrasah passed on to his son Shah Muhammad Ishaq.[5] Following Muhammad Ishaq's death in 1846, the Madrasah broke up into a number of interlinked schools.[6]
