About Jamia Al-Kauthar
It is an open secret that the ups and downs of human society are related to the efforts made for the development of education. The golden ages of Islamic history and the present day miserable situation of the Muslims is a glaring example of this very fact.
It is very amazing that during the heights of Muslim excellence in science and education, the western world was passing through dark ages. However, the situation at present is totally reverse. The Muslims are lagging behind in the fields of science and technology, and have closed the doors of research and inquiry, which has created backwardness, intolerance, extremism, and narrow-mindedness in the Muslim societies.
This state of affairs requires that the Muslims should once again seek guidance from divine teachings and excel in contemporary branches of education with same zeal and quest, which had been the distinction of earlier Muslim periods. The only recourse to rekindle the Muslim past glory is to adopt modern thinking and carry out research.
Keeping in view the above-mentioned objectives, a modern religious education center, Jamiatu Al Kauthar was founded by Al-Khoei Foundation in 1992.It is located in Islamabad the heart of the Pakistan. In 2002 the Jamia started its academic and educational activities regularly.
The real aim for the establishment of this center is a unique education system that is a mixture of religious and contemporary fields of education. However, through modern techniques and methods, the center would not only cater for educational, research and moral up-keep of the students but would also endeavor to make the large duration syllabi into a short, compact and effective syllabi.
