-:: Higher Religious ::-
A religious community is evaluated and recognized with its think tank i.e. the thought provoking creamy layer of religious scholars. No religions entity can survive without this spiritual guidance.

Neither we ever desire, nor it is possible to make each of our Maktab student a Maulvi or Mullah, our evdeavour instead is to produce mature, sensible and responsible Muslim, disciplined Momin and pious human being. We always aspire of kindhearted doctors, devoted engineers, sagacious intellectuals, scholars, authors and orators with religious orientation. To have this object achieved, the organization made arrangements for higher religious education and established Jameas which became the first choice of the community. Any person who wants his boy or girl be oriented with religious education chooses these Jameas first. A large number of aspirants turn out for every session annually and we always have to face a tough task in selecting the meritorious students from them because of limited number of the seats. The following institutes (Jameas) are serving the community in full swing under :

1. Jamiya-e-Imamiya at Lucknow, UP.
2. Jameatuzzahra at Lucknow, UP.
3. Madarasa e Askariya at 24-Pargana, West Bengal.
4. Madarasa e Khadeejatul Kubra at Lucknow, UP.

It has so many unique features i.e. its discipline, its syllabus that is equivalent to that of Hauzas at Najaf and Qum and its dynamism in educating the students.

Jameatuzzahra
The awareness to educate women is increasing day by day, and the religious education for women is also important. The founder of the organization Tanzeemul Makatib was well aware of this need. Virtually he incepted this wing of education long ago in his life by sending the selected girls for higher studies to Qum, Iran, keeping in mind that able teaching staff will be the first requirement of any such units. However this Jamea took start on 20th Jumadussania , the holy birth anniversary of HAZRAT ZAHRA (s.a.) in 1410 AH/at Lucknow. There is a magnificent three plus one floor building stood on 7500 sq. ft. area. The education pattern is similar to the Jamea Imamia. Strict vigil is kept on the rule of Hijab, health and hygiene.

Madarasa e Khadeejatul Kubra
Chain of religious education centres for college-going girls.
This is the latest feather in our activities which is established for college-going girls. After successfully launching Jameatuzzahra, it deemed necessary that a short term course be started to educate those girls who are already accommodated in other academic institutions and are very much keen to attain religion as a way of life. A two year course designed by the organization is prescribed with an introductory curriculum of Fiqh, Hadith(Tradition), Quran, Islamic History and specifically the Religious Home Science in order to inculcate the better family norms among the students. The community also has warmly welcomed the step. At first ,it was established in Jameat-uz-Zahra building at Muftiganj, Lucknow.Now more such centres are established at the following places:-
