==Career==

He is also the principal of Jamia Ummul Kitaab in [[Lahore]], head of Deen-ul-Qayyim Online Islamic school and Siraat Education School System. Naqvi is also the editor of the monthly magazine Masharab-e-Naab. He is a staunch supporter of the [[Iranian Revolution|Islamic Revolution of Iran]]. In many of his speeches he propagates the hard-line version of [[Wilayat-e-Fiqh]].<ref>Raheislam monthly magazine vol. 26-page 42</ref> He stands for unity of sects in Pakistan under his banner.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Non-sectarian Islamic Scholar Leads Movement for Unity in Pakistan |url=https://crescent.icit-digital.org/articles/non-sectarian-islamic-scholar-leads-movement-for-unity-in-pakistan |access-date=2022-05-09 |website=Crescent International}}</ref>
== Allegations and controversies ==
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"<ref name="hudson">{{cite web |last1=Vatanka |first1=Alex |title=The Guardian of Pakistan's Shia - by Alex Vatanka |url=https://www.hudson.org/research/9863-the-guardian-of-pakistan-s-shia |website=www.hudson.org |language=en |access-date=13 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627212117/https://www.hudson.org/research/9863-the-guardian-of-pakistan-s-shia |archive-date=27 June 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> published by [[Hudson Institute]], a strategic think-tank based in Washington. It says:
<blockquote>
"Accordingly, many of Pakistan’s Shia religious figures have become highly vocal and partisan supporters of Khamenei. For example, Syed Jawad Naqvi, 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, Naqvi’s seminary was reportedly established in part with financial support from the Iranian state."<ref name="hudson"/>
</blockquote>

In 2019, an article in [[The News International|The News]] described him of having "uniquely Iran-centered career".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Shia Islam in colonial India and Pakistan {{!}} Dialogue {{!}} thenews.com.pk|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/567927-shia-islam-colonial-india-pakistan|website=www.thenews.com.pk|language=en|access-date=2020-05-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200712205242/https://www.thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/567927-shia-islam-colonial-india-pakistan|archive-date=12 July 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>

However, Syed Jawad Naqvi 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.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/0DhzcEswbBo Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20210709191400/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DhzcEswbBo Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DhzcEswbBo| title = Ustad e Mohtaram Syed Jawad Naqvi {{!}} Jashan e Molud e Kaba Imam Ali a.s {{!}} 2010 | website=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

As recent as January 2020, he has been described as "a major supporter of Iran’s theocracy" by [[Foreign Policy]], an American news publication.<ref>{{Cite web|title=South Asia's Shiites Are Eschewing Sectarianism|url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/07/iran-pakistan-shiism/|last=Weinstein|first=Adam|website=Foreign Policy|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200314194949/https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/07/iran-pakistan-shiism/|archive-date=14 March 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2013, Mohammadi Masjid stopped Naqvi’s sermons after there was scuffle occurred when [[Punjab Police (Pakistan)|Police]] prevented Naqvi's security from entering the mosque, sparking mass protests outside the mosque. Allegedly his security guard was carrying unlicensed weapon. Police accused students of Naqvi, for creating the chaos and roughing up the cameraman, the varsity condemned the irresponsible behavior of the police.<ref name="pt">{{Cite web |url=http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2013/11/09/city/lahore/chaos-at-majlis-cops-held-responsible/ |title=Chaos at Majlis, Cops held Responsible |access-date=5 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150105133610/http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2013/11/09/city/lahore/chaos-at-majlis-cops-held-responsible/ |archive-date=5 January 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> Subsequently, Naqvi was banned by [[List of Chief Ministers of Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab Chief Minister]] [[Shahbaz Sharif]] from lecturing at Mohammadi Masjid in Lahore.<ref>[http://en.shiapost.com/2013/11/08/cm-shahbaz-bans-shia-scholar-syed-jawad-naqvi CM Sharif Bans Shia Scholar Syed Jawad Naqvi] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141026170934/http://en.shiapost.com/2013/11/08/cm-shahbaz-bans-shia-scholar-syed-jawad-naqvi/ |date=26 October 2014 }}/</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://pkmuzik.com/punjab-cm-shahbaz-bans-shia-scholar-syed-jawad-naqvi/ |title=Punjab CM Shahbaz bans Shia scholar Syed Jawad Naqvi |access-date=5 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150105134245/http://pkmuzik.com/punjab-cm-shahbaz-bans-shia-scholar-syed-jawad-naqvi/ |archive-date=5 January 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="academia">{{Cite journal|last=Qian|first=Adrian Wendy|title=Politics of Shi'i Identity in South Asia: Syed Jawad Naqvi's Concept of Wilayat-i Fiqh|url=https://www.academia.edu/32376516|language=en|access-date=28 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204044147/http://www.academia.edu/32376516/Politics_of_Shii_Identity_in_South_Asia_Syed_Jawad_Naqvis_Concept_of_Wilayat-i_Fiqh|archive-date=4 December 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Views on Iran's System===
{{see also|Iranian clergy protests against interest-based banking}}
Naqvi believes that Iran's system is based on Quran.<ref>{{Citation|title=Sarmaya Dari Nizam, Asr e Hazir ka Jadid Shirk {{!}} Syed Jawad Naqvi {{!}} 10-4-2020|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAeAh_QkgIk|language=en|access-date=2021-03-23}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=Nizam e Wilayat, Dushman ki Aankh ka kanta {{!}} Agha Syed Jawad Naqvi|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFpWh8o9k-s|language=en|access-date=2021-03-23}}</ref> This is against the opinion of major Shia clerics of Iran. In April 2018, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli said:

"The Qur'an calls Satan arrogant, but as far as I recall he has not been addressed as warrior against God in the Qur'an.  Interest system of our banks is a war against Allah 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."<ref>{{Cite web|title=فعالیت بانک ربوی، محاربه با خدا است|url=https://iqna.ir/fa/news/3703168/%D9%81%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%A9-%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%88%DB%8C-%D9%85%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%A8%D8%A7-%D8%AE%D8%AF%D8%A7-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA}}</ref>

Earlier on december 2016, Javadi Amoli said, [[Bank]] of Iran sucks blood of the people.<ref>[https://www.entekhab.ir/fa/news/300714/%D8%A7%D8%B4%DA%A9-%D9%87%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%AD%D8%B6%D8%B1%D8%AA-%D8%A2%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%87-%D8%AC%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AF%DB%8C-%D8%A2%D9%85%D9%84%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B7%D8%B1-%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%88%D8%AF-%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%A7-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%85-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%A9%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%A9%E2%80%8E%D9%87%D8%A7-%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%AF-%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%B9%D8%A7-%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%81-%D8%AE%D8%AF%D8%A7-%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%88%D8%B1-%D9%86%DA%A9%D8%B1%D8%AF%DB%8C%D9%85 Ayatollah Javadi Amoli criticizes banking system]</ref>

In July 2020 Jawad Naqvi 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|date=July 2020}}

=== Views on women's roles ===
According to academic scholar Wendy Qian, Syed Jawad Naqvi holds over all socially conservative views about women's roles. Qian says, Naqvi'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''.
In 2019, Naqvi termed [[Aurat March]] Organisers 'Most Evil Of All Women'.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Religious Scholar Jawad Naqvi Terms Aurat March Organisers 'Most Evil Of All Women'|url=https://nayadaur.tv/2019/04/religious-scholar-jawad-naqvi-terms-aurat-march-organisers-most-evil-of-all-women/|last=Daur|first=Naya|date=2019-04-10|website=Naya Daur|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200625002747/https://nayadaur.tv/2019/04/religious-scholar-jawad-naqvi-terms-aurat-march-organisers-most-evil-of-all-women/|archive-date=25 June 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>
