India Got Freedom (1947)
After 1947, following India’s independence and the subsequent upheavals, uneducated and marginalized Muslim communities in the region faced the threat of mass conversions due to social instability and unrest.
Establishment of Jamia Arabia (1952)
During that period, Hazrat Maulana Mohammad Sayed Siddiq Ahmad Bandwi RA, the founder of Jamia Arabia Hathaura, was serving as a teacher in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. Upon learning of the alarming trend of mass conversions, he was deeply disturbed. In response, and with the aim of halting this and promoting Islamic teachings, he established Jamia Arabia Hathaura in the year 1952
Expansion of Jamia Arabia
