Introduction of the Muslim Educational Society

The Muslim Educational Society (registered in 1956) was founded by Mr. Azad Bin Haider, who was first elected as the Secretary-General of the society and later as President. The spiritual Patron-in-Chief was his Excellency Pir Syed Abdul Qadir Gillani, Ambassador of Iraq in Pakistan, while Professor A.B.A Haleem, ex-Vice Chancellor of Aligarh University and then Vice Chancellor of Karachi University, was the Patron of the Society. Moulana Abdul Hamid Badayuni, who seconded the Pakistan Resolution on 23 Mar, 1940, at Lahore, was elected as the first President of the Society. Syed Hussain Imam, President of All India Muslim States, was elected as Vice President.

The Muslim Educational Society founded and funded schools in some of the most neglected areas of Karachi. It worked generously for the betterment of students and their families for over fifty years, as outlined below.

From 1957 to 1971, the Society Established the Following Schools:

  1. Muslim Primary School, Daryabad, Bihar Colony, Lyari, Karachi, 1957
  2. Muslim Boys High School, Daryabad, Bihar Colony, Lyari, Karachi, 1958

  13. Muslim Girls Secondary School No.2, Nazimabad, 1963

Nationalization

The above schools were nationalized in 1971, and on the eve of nationalization — because the schools were running on subscriptions and donations, and it is the primary duty of the government to provide education — sweet meat was distributed to all the teaching and non-teaching staff of the schools.
