About
It was founded in 1928 by Syed Mohammad Sajjad Al-Husaini, [1] the elder son of Jawad-ul-Ulama Ayatollah Syed Ali Jawad Al-Husaini. The main goal of its establishment was the advance provision of especial courses for higher Islamic studies.

After him the second "Haadi" was Aal-e-Jawad-ul-Ulama Mulla Syed Mohammad Tahir Al-Husaini, [1] followed by Syed Ahmad Hasan (Imam-e-Jum'ah of Banaras).
