Abstract
The state of Bahawalpur was founded in 1802 by Nawab Mohammad Bah┐wal Khan II. After the establishment of Pakistan on 14 August 1947, the state opted to accede to the new dominion of Pakistan, with effect from 7 October 1947. It was merged into the province of West Pakistan on 14 October 1955. Bahawalpur has always been a seat of higher learning. Uch Shar┘f, a nearby ancient town, had one of the largest universities where scholars from all over the world used to come for studies. As a continuation of that tradition, J┐m‘a Abb┐siya was established in Bahawalpur in the year 1925, following the academic pursuits of Jamia Al-Azhar, Egypt. The renowned scholars spread Islam by teaching Tafs┘r of Qura’n, Hadith, Fiqh, and History along with other contemporary subjects. The establishment of Jamia Abb┐sia and the arrival of religious scholars in Bahawalpur bear witness that it is a scholarly and traditional state and it has been proved as a place of protection for educational, cultural and historical traditions. In this article we have tried our best to reveal the educational and historical services of Scholars of Bahawalpur.
