About Us
Welcome to Al-Noor Welfare Foundation, where since our establishment in 1996, we have been committed to empowering women and children through education, moral, and spiritual development rooted in the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. Our foundation was inspired by a critical analysis conducted several years ago on character building within Islamic institutes in Pakistan, revealing significant deviations from Islamic teachings. Guided by the visionary leadership of scholar Nighat Hashmi, we strive to deepen the understanding of Islam’s universal principles and their application in addressing contemporary challenges.
Operating across multiple cities, we provide comprehensive Islamic and contemporary education, fostering an environment where women and children can thrive intellectually and spiritually. Our mission is to equip future generations to positively impact society, promoting peace, integrity, and responsibility through education and character development. Join us in our journey to nurture informed, empowered individuals who contribute meaningfully to their communities and beyond.
Al-Noor Welfare Foundation is dedicated to administering Islamic and Contemporary Education with the aim of fostering positive change among women and children of all ages.
