Saylani Initiative to Introduce Islamic Schooling System in the United States

The Saylani Initiative seeks to implement an Islamic schooling system in the United States, aiming to bridge cultural gaps and promote religious education within local communities. Through this pioneering effort, Saylani aims to establish institutions that offer comprehensive Islamic education, fostering understanding and appreciation for the religion's teachings. By introducing this schooling system, Saylani hopes to contribute to a more diverse and inclusive educational landscape in the United States.

KARACHI: Saylani has made the decision to create an Islamic schooling system specifically for Muslim children residing in the United States. To facilitate this initiative, a five-member education committee has been established in Houston, Texas, consisting of four members hailing from Texas and one from Chicago. Furthermore, Saylani has opened outlets at the Ayesha Mosque on Devon Avenue in Chicago and at the Faizan-e-Ayesha Mosque in New York. 

These developments were disclosed by Maulana Bashir Farooq Qadri, the founder and chairman of Saylani Welfare International Trust, following his return from a 21-day tour of the USA and Turkey. He shared this information while conversing with Saylani CEO Madani Bashir Farooq Qadri and COO Muhammad Ghazal.

Diyanet, a government organization, will oversee cow slaughtering in Faisalabad, while Haider, a non-governmental organization, will handle the process in Hyderabad. The meat will then be distributed in disadvantaged areas of these cities. A four-member Turkish delegation will visit Pakistan before Eid to supervise this distribution.

During his brief visit to Turkey, Maulana Bashir Farooq observed that the fourth shipment of aid had been dispatched from Istanbul to Gaza on May 4, with preparations underway for the imminent dispatch of the fifth shipment.
