Message from the Founder’s Desk

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّاٰلِهِ الطَّيِّبِيْنَ۔

Our Holy Prophet of Islam (May peace and Allah’s blessings be upon him and his progeny) has said:

.اَلْعِلْمُ رَأسُ الْخَيْرِ کُلِّہِ، وَالْجَھْلُ رَأْسُالشَّرِّکُلِّہِ

Which means that knowledge is the source of all virtue and ignorance is the source of all vice.

Imam Ali (May peace be upon him) has said:

اَلْعَا لِمُ حَيٌّ وَاِنْ کَانَ مَيِّتاً، اَلْجَاھِلُ مَيِّتٌ وَاِنْ کَانَ حَيّاً

Which means that a knowledgeable person is alive even if he is dead, and an ignorant person is dead even if he is alive.

It is pertinent for any nation or community to strive hard to seek knowledge as its growth is dependent on the level of education it has. In the down-turn of economy, education becomes the key to socio-economic progress.
With over 70% of Indian population residing in villages, it becomes important for us to reach out to them with quality education. As compared to other developing nations we have a sluggish growth in our literacy. The government has launched many schemes to fight illiteracy but unless the citizens take up the cause the task is difficult to achieve.
Maktabah Jafariyah is one such initiative focused on the development of community through quality education. It is a step forward in nation building by empowering people with right education. Here, we strive to bring out individuals who are knowledgeable as well as grounded to their roots. Here, knowledge is imparted without arrogance attached to it; people are shown the way to be successful with modesty towards their success; and the young generation is taught to be modern without giving up their traditional values.

.وَاٰخِرُ دَعْوٰىنَآ اَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ

Hazrat Alhaj Pir Syed Mohammad MujahidHusain Jafri (ra.)

Maktabah Jafariyah at a glance

Embracing the Islamic wisdom that elevates knowledge as the source of virtue, Maktabah Jafariyah tries to become a beacon of educational excellence in rural India. This academy endeavours to address the prevalent need for quality education in a country where the majority of the population resides in villages, by offering an approach that bridges traditional values with modern education. Here, education is imparted in such a way that inspires students to become agents of change in their communities, fostering a sense of social responsibility alongside academic excellence.

At its core, Maktabah Jafariyah aims to dissolve educational dichotomies, creating an environment where the profound coexists with the practical. It tries to achieve this by placing equal importance on higher learning and fundamental schooling, while also integrating hands-on, real-world experiences. In an exemplary demonstration of this philosophy, agriculture fields and dairy farms are situated right next to school and college buildings, creating a confluence where smart, urban modernity meets simple, rustic traditions.


This immersive education ecosystem combines theoretical knowledge with practical application and transforms the campus into a real-world classroom, where students can immediately apply their learning to practical, traditional livelihoods.

The institution’s distinctive features include:

  • Seamless integration of traditional values with modern knowledge
  • Cultivation of respect for parents and elders
  • Creation of a stress-free learning environment
  • Emphasis on developing traditional businesses to curb urban migration

The academy’s comprehensive mandate encompasses undergraduate and postgraduate programs, skill development initiatives for rural youth and women, agricultural training, and adult education. Through these varied offerings, Maktabah Jafariyah acts as a catalyst for socio-economic progress, preparing students to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world while remaining grounded in their cultural roots.

 

By forging collaborative partnerships and emphasising practical, community-oriented education, this institution aspires to exemplify the transformative power of knowledge in elevating individuals and society. Maktabah Jafariyah’s holistic approach not only imparts value-education but also cultivates a deep sense of cultural pride, intercultural respect, and a commitment to societal amelioration, embodying its vision of being a research-driven knowledge academy that creates not just employment opportunities but also nurtures good character and humaneness in its students.
