Jamia Hafsa was built in Islamabad in 1992. It was constructed on land said to be owned by the madrassa's administration, and was affiliated with the adjoining central mosque of Islamabad, Lal Masjid (translated as Red Mosque). The foundation stone of Jamia Hafsa was laid down by Maulana Muhammad Abdullah, the father of Ghazi brothers. Jamia Hafsa houses approximately 6500 students.
Jamia Hafsa is the largest school in the Islamic world educating female students. Although they are taught subjects like mathematics and geography, they are not tested on them. Their exams are only on matters relating to Islam.

—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
