About Syed Mirak Shah Kashani(R.A)

Syed Mirak Shah Kashani (R.A.) was a revered Sufi saint, scholar, and spiritual guide known for his wisdom, piety, and dedication to education and moral upliftment. He firmly believed that the children of Jammu and Kashmir should acquire both religious and contemporary knowledge. His teachings emphasized:
📖 The pursuit of knowledge as a means of enlightenment and empowerment.
🕌 Spiritual and moral integrity in daily life and learning.
🤝 Compassion, service, and responsibility toward the community.

In the early 1950s, recognizing his immense contribution to education and spirituality, the government requested him to lay the foundation stone for the University of Kashmir's Hazratbal campus, which he gladly accepted. He also founded Anjuman Taleem-ul-Islam and played a pivotal role in establishing Madinatul Uloom Institute, which was later affiliated with the university and now forms part of its Arabic Department.

Our Commitment to His Vision

After he attained Heavenly abode on December 13, 1971, his spiritual successor, Hazrat Fakeer Deen Mohammad Sahib (R.A.), carried forward his vision. To fulfill his Murshid’s dream, he founded a chain of Syed Mirak Shah Memorial Schools in Mirakabad Shalimar, New Theed, Pazalpora, and Nishat. The Mirakabad Shalimar School, established in 1984, was later upgraded to a high school in 1994, and in the same year, Syed Mirak Shah Educational Trust was formed with Hazrat Fakeer Deen Mohammad Sahib (R.A.) as its Founder and Chairman.

After his passing on October 10, 1998, Hazrat Fakeer Mohammad Dilwar Sahib succeeded him and continues to serve as the Chief Patron of Syed Mirak Shah Memorial Educational Trust.
