Jamia Hafsa
Jamia Hafsa (, ) is a madrassa adjacent to the Lal Masjid mosque in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The mosque and its seminaries are overseen by cleric Abdul Aziz Ghazi. The seminary and the adjoining Lal Masjid were owned by two brothers and clerics, Maulana Abdul Aziz and Abdul Rashid Ghazi, until the Lal Masjid siege started; in the ensuing struggle, Abdul Aziz was arrested and Rashid Ghazi was killed. The seminary is conservative in nature. History
Hafsa, a female Islamic seminary, was established in 1992 as a sister branch of Jamia Ul Ulom al Islamia al Faridia, also known as The Faridia University. The schools were founded by Maulana Abdullah Ghazi in 1992, who remained chancellor until he was assassinated by unknown gunmen in October 1998. The school is now led by Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi. After the Lal Masjid siege, the government demolished the original school. Since then, the school has been rebuilt in Islamabad's Sector G-7. Several other branches have also been built in other places in Pakistan. See also
