Imamia Students Organisation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imamia Students Organisation is a Shi'a Muslim students organisation in Pakistan. It was founded by Dr. Mohammad Ali Naqvi in 22 May 1972 at University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. In 2003 it had "around 1200 units in Pakistan",[1] covering all the 4 provinces of Pakistan, Tribal areas, Azad Jamu & Kashmir & Northern areas.
- "The Goal of this Organization is to set the lives of the young generation in accordance with the teachings of Quran and Mohammad-o-Aal-e-Mohammad (as), so that they may become good Human beings and Momins, and may defend the Highness of the Holy Religion and the geographical and ideological boundaries of Pakistan."[2]
Allegations were directed against ISO that they receive funding from Iran. ISO counters those allegations, stating that they only receive moral guidance from Iran.[1]
The ISO has been part of the Shurae Wahdat-e-Islami since September 1988.[3]
