    Jais, land of Ulema and 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 AD (around 420 Hijri). Later on during the reign of Sher Shah Suri (mid-16th century) adjacent Patakpur, 7 km 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.

    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.

    Ayatullah al Uzma Sayyid Dildar Ali Naqvi 'Gufraanmaab (ra)' was from here and later his family came to be called Khandan e Ijtihaad due to the heavy presence of high-ranking scholars. Some of the famous religious scholars from this lineage include Syedul Ulema Ayatullah Syed Ali Naqi Naqvi 'Naqqan', Jannat Ma'ab Ayatullah Syed Mohammad Naqvi, Ayatullah Aqa Hasan Sb, Ayatullah Syed Kalbe Hussain Naqvi, Hujjatul Islam Syed Kalbe Abid Naqvi, Hujjatul Islam Syed Kalbe Jawwad Naqvi, Allama Syed Hasan Zafar Naqvi(based in Karachi), Allama Nasir Ijtehadi, Dr Kalbe Sadiq, Hujjatul Islam Syed Ali Mohammad Naqvi .

    Another prominent family is the Ashrafis of Jais, who are direct descendants of the Grand Waliullah Shaikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jeelani of Baghdad, the founder of Qudiri order of Tasawwuf. The forefather of this Syed Family is the great Alim and Wali, Hazrat Haji Ahmad Ashrafi Jeelani known as "Peer Dastageer". His grave is situated in the southern part of the city on the Raebareli Sultanpur road in a great compound known as Dargaah Makhdoom Saheb. His father, Hazrat Abdur-Razzaq Nurul-Ain Jeelani, came to India with his maternal uncle Hazrat Makhdoom Syed Ashraf Jahangir Semnani.[3]

    Other notable people

    A famous Jais poet is Malik Mohammad Jaisi, who wrote Padmavat and Akhrawat. In 'Padmavat' Jaisi expresses his deep reverence to Chisti Sufi Master Syed Ashraf Jahangir Semnani and his descendants.[4] "Jaisi Samarak" has been constructed in his memory.

    An important native of modern Jais is Syed Sibtey Razi, presently Governor of Jharkhand. He is senior leader of the Indian National Congress and has served in the Government of India and Uttar Pradesh in various capacities.
