Shubair Naqvi

JAIS LAND OF ULEMA & POETS . .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 420 Hijri).Later on during the reign of Sher Shah Suri(mid 16th century) adjacent Patakpur,7Km from Jais, was inhabited by Momineen of Jais under the leadership of Syed Zakaria Jaisi ( Great Grandfather of Hazrat Ghufraan Ma'ab ) and rechristened as Naseerabad after the name of Syed Syed Naseeruddin Jaisi.
