History

Al-Barkaat Educational Society, dedicated to the memory of renowned Persian-Hindi Sufi poet Syed Shah Barkatullah of Marehra, district Etah, came into being in 1995. The Society was registered under the Societies Registration Act.

The Al-Barkaat Educational Society derives inspiration from the life and teachings of a galaxy of illustrious Sufis of Khanqah-e-Barkaatia, Marehra Sharif (Etah, U.P.). It owes its inception to the profound vision of its Founder President Professor Syed Shah Muhammad Amin (Department of Urdu, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh), the present Sajjadah Nashin of Khanqah-e-Barkaatia, and President of Dargah Syed Shah Barkatullah Committee. He is the moving spirit and the beacon behind this novel project in establishing various educational institutions in India. The Society is also indebted to Aligarh Muslim University faculty and some eminent scholars permanently settled in Aligarh for their invaluable contribution towards developing its educational plans.
