A LIFE OF SERVICE CONTINUES...![]()
![]()
Many may not be aware of the humble beginnings of Jamia Al-Karam which started with a small class of only 5 students in Milton Keynes over 3 decades ago. Since the very first day of its establishment in 1985, numerous individuals have contributed so much towards this service in the way of Allah Almighty, none more so than our Founder and Principal, Shaykh Pirzada, and his noble wife, fondly called 'Auntie' by the students.![]()

Running any institution, especially one whose purpose is to serve Islam and the next generation of Muslims, is not for the faint-hearted. There have been many challenges, struggles and sleepless nights for our Principal no doubt, but behind the scenes Auntie has always been there to support and serve this centre of learning in any way possible.![]()
![]()
Our elder graduates will remember their student days in Milton Keynes when at certain lengthy periods of time, we did not have any full time chef to cater for the students. So Auntie took it upon herself to personally cook the daily meals for the students who would come to eat at Shaykh Pirzada’s home, while at the same time being a mother to her own children, who were very young at the time.![]()

Nurturing the students as well as their own children in having the passion to serve others has been the hallmark of Shaykh Pirzada and Auntie throughout their lives. A similar circumstance with memories of old has risen once again at Jamia Al-Karam where the institution has ended up without a chef since the vacancy has not been filled. In order to ensure continuity, Auntie despite her age is spending considerable hours in the main kitchen daily cooking and preparing meals for the students. Our Vice-Principal, his wife and children are accompanying her in the spirit of #LearnAndServe.![]()

Only Allah truly knows the sacrifices each person has made in their path towards Him, and without doubt He has prepared a tremendous reward for His loyal servants. We ask you to pray for Auntie and Shaykh Pirzada, may Allah bless them with long and healthy lives so we may continue to benefit from their presence. Amin.![]()
