All praise be to Allah in Whose wishes lies our everything.
SCHOOL as such is a word that takes us away from the concealed and latent realms of our existence. Those realms if not explored and unfolded can put us in a very great loss so much so that we are thrown into the Caverns of ignorance and darkness wherefrom it is impossible to retrieve ourselves. If a person gets drenched with dirt and it happens to him a numbers of times repeatedly, he starts getting used to it and finally addicted to it, the filth and putrefaction snatches his aesthetic sense, he develops an impaired sensual perception. He doesn’t feel maladjustment, doesn’t desire for a rescue from it.
The realms need to be explored and unfolded as early as could be done. It should be taken up with zeal and enthusiasm, not as a formality as most of us do it. A number of factors are responsible for our being formal with education. Our modern education system was establishes by British imperialists to cater there administrative requirements. To do that they needed personnel who could communicate with them and could do a little bit of reading and writing. The concept of SLC (school leaving certificate) was inducted for petty administrative jobs. The little education for petty jobe, unfortunately the concept embedded its roots deep into our minds. We are still, after over 70 years, stagnant at ‘education for jobs'.
A child becomes a slave of materialistic world, which ought not to be his vision. Man is the beautiful and miraculous creation of Allah, his creation is not meant for drenching and soiling himself with dirt and filth of the materials world. He has forgotten the job beyond his self. Aspire for something without a personal desire. Be not yourself, for yourself. Be human for humanity. New horizons will be displayed before you. Try it once and experience the innovation.

May the peace and blessing of Allah (SWT) be on all of you. The Institution "Iqra Educational Institute" came into existence in the year 1986. A few classes in a few scattered rooms, limited finances, but high morals, good intentions, and above all courage and enthusiasm in our hearts unconsciously opened the doors of the arena and entered without the knowledge of the challenges that we had to face. There was no turning back as we had burnt the boats of returning and withdrawal. It was the situation of "Do or Die". Today we feel the power of destiny. The institution was destined to come into existence by our hands and Allah made it happen. We bow our heads before his planning and there is no alternative. Thanks to Him for selecting us to do this job. It is an admitted fact that teaching is neither a job nor a business; it is a charity, worship, and service to humanity. Baring all the difficulties that we faced through manifold factors, we feel satisfied and free at heart for the services that we provided and the products that we generated. I am not of the opinion to produce students that could place themselves at good jobs having handsome salaries although this too is an important aspect of life as the boat of life could only be rowed on the waters of money, the boat has its own job to carry its inmates to the safe places, to their destination and out of the unfair and troubled waters. Our job ought to shape men and women into humans. Humans possess the heart of humanity, mind of morality, sympathy, and soul of divinity. No one is perfect but we are on the track and Inshallah will do the job till our last breath and will sow these seeds in each person who is in our hands. It's not out of place to mention and place our gratitude for the persons who have left to the abode of peace but have dedicated themselves to the institution May Allah Bless their souls with kindness and gratitude.
