"Accordingly, many of Pakistan’s Shia religious figures have become highly vocal and partisan supporters of Khamenei. For example, Jawad, a prominent activist preacher and the head of a recently-launched Shia seminary in Pakistan, idealizes the theocracy in the Islamic Republic of Iran and calls himself a devoted follower of Khamenei. He has additionally published articles as well as a book denouncing Iran’s anti-clerical Green opposition movement.27 Not surprisingly, Jawad’s seminary was reportedly established in part with financial support from the Iranian state."<ref name="hudson"/> |

According to academic scholar Wendy Qian, Jawad holds over all socially conservative views about women's roles. Qian says, Jawad's views on women seems to have been influenced by South Asian conservative Islamic advise literature, and overall he reiterates same views with only addition that he expects women's roles in his idealistic Islamic political revolution in Pakistan,<ref name="academia" /> on which he has written a book ''The Role of Women towards the System of Wilayat''. |

Jamia Urwa-tul-Wusqa
Jawad is the founder and principal of the seminary Jamia Urwa-tul-Wusqa.[7] This seminary is popular in Lahore, Punjab in Pakistan, and other neighboring countries including Iran and India. He is also the founder of Jamia Jaffria and Jamia Ummul-Kitab for women; and Jamia Deen-ul-Qayim Virtual Islamic Seminary.[8]
Bethat Educational TV Channel
Bethat Educational TV Channel[9] is the official satellite TV channel of the Howza e ilmiya Jamia Urwa-tul-Wuthqa. Bethat Educational Islamic TV Channel broadcasts special educational programs for children, women, youth and general public.[10]
Islamic Awakening Movement
Jawad is the founder and leader of movement of Islamic Awakening in the sub-continent. ″Tehreek e Baidari e Ummat e Mustafa SAWW″ was launched in the congregation of 7 October 2012 held at Nasir Bagh Lahore in condemnation of blasphemy against the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Gatherings were held throughout Pakistan in order to initiate a movement against nations such as the USA and Israel who were held responsible for this blasphemy.[11]
Controversies and criticism
In a 2012 report by Hudson Institute, he has been described as pro-Iran and to be financially supported by Iran. Alex Vatanka writes in an article titled "The Guardian of Pakistan's Shia"[12] published by Hudson Institute, a strategic think-tank based in Washington. It says:
"Accordingly, many of Pakistan’s Shia religious figures have become highly vocal and partisan supporters of Khamenei. For example, Jawad, a prominent activist preacher and the head of a recently-launched Shia seminary in Pakistan, idealizes the theocracy in the Islamic Republic of Iran and calls himself a devoted follower of Khamenei. He has additionally published articles as well as a book denouncing Iran’s anti-clerical Green opposition movement.27 Not surprisingly, Jawad’s seminary was reportedly established in part with financial support from the Iranian state."[12]
In 2019, an article in The News described him of having "uniquely Iran-centered career".[13]
However, Jawad has denied that he has received any support from Iran. In the opening ceremony of Jamia Urwatu Wusqa he said that this project is fully supported by local pakistani people. He said that none of his projects is supported by Iran or any other country and not a single penny has been received from outside Pakistan.[14]
As recent as January 2020, he has been described as "a major supporter of Iran’s theocracy" by Foreign Policy, an American news publication.[15]
In 2013, Mohammadi Masjid stopped Jawad’s sermons after there was scuffle occurred when Police prevented Jawad's security from entering the mosque, sparking mass protests outside the mosque. Allegedly his security guard was carrying unlicensed weapon. Police accused students of Jawad, for creating the chaos and roughing up the cameraman, the varsity condemned the irresponsible behavior of the police.[16] Subsequently, Jawad was banned by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif from lecturing at Mohammadi Masjid in Lahore.[17][18][4]
On Iran's system
Jawad believes that Iran's system is based on Quran.[19][20] This is contrary to the opinion of Iranian Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, who said in 2018:
The interest system of our banks is a war against God and his messenger (PBUH). You may name a year as a year of production and prosperity (the Iranian leader named the previous year the Year of Resistant Economy: Production and Employment), as long as there is interest on loan in banking system, nothing will improve."[21]
Earlier in December 2016, Javadi Amoli said, Bank of Iran sucks blood of the people.[22]
On Azadari of Muharram
In 2020, after his alleged comparison of Azadari with Tarawih during a lecture, Indian daily and weekly Urdu newspapers Sahafat and Nauroz published articles critical to him. [23] [24] [25] Indian daily and Urdu newspaper Sahafat and Hindi newspaper Bhumitra again criticised his May 29, 2020 Friday sermon,[26] for targeting Indian Shia leadership. [27] [28]
In July 2020 Jawad criticised Imamia Students Organisation for not being the pride of Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist which sparked a reaction and a resolution by Imamia Students Organization against him.[citation needed]
On women's roles
According to academic scholar Wendy Qian, Jawad holds over all socially conservative views about women's roles. Qian says, Jawad's views on women seems to have been influenced by South Asian conservative Islamic advise literature, and overall he reiterates same views with only addition that he expects women's roles in his idealistic Islamic political revolution in Pakistan,[4] on which he has written a book The Role of Women towards the System of Wilayat. In 2019, Jawadtermed Aurat March Organisers 'Most Evil Of All Women'.[29]
