Jamiah Qasimul Uloom (JQU) is an institute established in 2015 to provide the Muslim community with traditional Islamic education. Mufti Ahmed Bemat (d. 2004) and Maulana Asad Bemat (d. 1993) had a vision to start an Islamic seminary in Toronto for the community.

The name, as suggested many years ago by Mufti Ahmed Bemat, is primarily based on the Prophetic Tradition in which he ﷺ said, “And indeed I am a distributor (Qasim), and Allah is the only One Who truly gives.”
