A female Islamic seminary, Jamia Syeda Hafsa, was founded in 1992 by Mawlānā Abdullah Ghazi, as the women's branch of Jamia Uloom Al-Islamia Al-Faridia.[3] Located adjacent to the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque), the institution was built on 7,500 square yards of land.[4][5]

The original building was demolished following a military operation in 2007.[6][7]

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