Jamia Binoria Aalamia is an Islamic educational institute in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It is regarded as one of the most modern madrassas.[1] [2] [3] Noman Naeem is the principal (chancellor) of the seminary.
Jamia Binoria was founded by Mufti Muhammed Naeem in 1978 (Rajab 1398 AH).[4] [5] It is affiliated to Ittehad Tanzeematul Madaris-e-Deeniya (ITMD), a confederacy of five religious education boards.[6] At one time, Jamiah Binoria is said to have had the highest enrollment of foreign students in Pakistan. The international enrollment dropped following the September 11, 2001 attacks.[7] In 2005, it had around 3,000 male and 500 female students, including students from United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany and East Asia.[7] Jamia Binoria also has ifta courses for women, thereafter calling them "muftia" (female Muftis).[8]
