Welcome to Jais the land of Ulema .... This has been a land of Knowledge, even before Muslims settled here it was a centre of higher education and it was known as Vidya Nagar. It was famous for its Sanskrit University which was affiliated to famous Taxila University. Then came the time when Muslim migrants chose it as their homeland and named it 'Jae Aish'--'Place of Rest' and over a period of time as Urdu and later Hindi became more pervasive, it became Jais. Jais is the earliest known Naqvi Sadats of India. .Syed Najmuddin Sabzwari, a revered Ulema, was the leader of Momineens who settled and inhabited this land ,in 1027 A.D(around 410 Hijri).After some time adjacent Patakpur, 7 KM from Jais, was also inhabited by Momineens and rechristened as Naseerabad after the name of Syed Naseerudin Jaisi. Jais & Naseerabad are the native land of Khandan e Ijtihad .This belt of Momineens always concentrated on Educations and Higher Aims which were to take them close to their ALMIGHTY. This land was bestowed by some of the famous religious scholars of different sects of ISLAM.
