Jamia Syeda Hafsa (Template:Lang-ur) is a Deobandi madrassa adjacent to the Lal Masjid in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The madrassah was established in 1992 by Maulana Abdullah Ghazi, who remained the Chancellor until he was assassinated by unknown gunmen in October 1998.

The seminary is considered as the largest women's madrasa in Pakistan.

History

A female Islamic seminary, Jamia Syeda Hafsa, was founded in 1992 by Maulana Abdullah Ghazi, as the women's branch of Jamia Uloom Al-Islamia Al-Faridia. Located adjacent to the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque), the institution was built on 7,500 square yards of land. The original seminary was demolished following a military operation in 2007.

In 2011, the seminary administration was allocated a new plot in Sector H-8, Islamabad, adjacent to Allama Iqbal Open University.
