Founder’s Biography

Mawlānā Saifudīn Nisār

Mawlānā Saifudīn Nisār

Founder of Al-Jawāhir Academy

Introduction:

Mawlānā Saifudīn Nisār is the founder and primary instructor of Al-Jawāhir Academy (est. 2021), as well as the founder and author of AJA Publications (est. 2024). He is an Imām (Masjid Noorul Islām, Bradford), lecturer, and educator based in England, known for his depth of scholarship and ability to present complex subjects with clarity and reason.

Born in Chorley, Lancashire, Mawlānā Saifudīn Nisār completed the Ḥifẓ of the glorious Qur’ān before he commenced his ʿĀlimiyyah studies at Jāmiʿatul ʿIlm Wal-Hudā in Blackburn and also studied foundational years at the Islamic Daʾwah Academy in Leicester.

Driven by an increasing thirst for knowledge, he travelled to Pakistan to further enhance knowledge, graduating in 2011 from Jāmiʿah al-ʿUlūm al-Islāmiyyah, Banuri Town (Karachi). After graduation, he remained in Pakistan to specialise in comparative sects, studying under numerous great scholars.

Teaching and Scholarship:

Upon returning to England, Mawlānā Saifudīn Nisār began serving as an Imām and teaching the ʿĀlimiyyah course. He has since taught a wide range of Islamic sciences at multiple institutes, and continues to do so, including specialisation courses for scholars overseas.

He continues to:

  • Teach core and advanced Islamic sciences
  • Instruct scholars in specialisation programmes
  • Deliver lectures, seminars, and training across the UK

Authorisations:

Mawlānā has received authorisation and endorsement in all four recognised chains of Taṣawwuf (Islamic Mysticism). He also holds permission to teach and transmit the major Islamic sciences and classical texts.

Outreach, Research and Public Engagement:

Mawlānā is actively engaged in addressing contemporary challenges facing Muslims today. He regularly travels across the UK delivering discourses on:

  • Apostasy and atheism
  • Doubts affecting the youth
  • Contemporary ideological challenges

These sessions are frequently delivered at major Madāris, particularly for final-year ʿĀlimiyyah and Iftā’ students. He also trains scholars and teachers to engage these issues effectively and conducts constructive discussions with atheists and apostates—many of which result in a return to Islām.

Alongside in-person efforts, he delivers webinars, structured courses, and lessons on various well-known educational platforms online.
