About

The Majlis-e-Ilmi Foundation was originally established in 1931. Following the creation of Pakistan, the institution was relocated from India to Pakistan in 1948. Since then, it has remained steadfast in its commitment to advancing scholarship, research, and intellectual discourse, making a significant contribution to the country’s academic and educational heritage.

Among the Foundation’s most distinguished achievements are its scholarly publications. To date, it has produced more than forty-eight high-quality academic and research-based works that have earned recognition as authoritative references among scholars, researchers, and intellectual circles.

However, the identity of Majlis-e-Ilmi extends far beyond its publishing endeavors. Its library stands as one of Pakistan’s most respected and enduring centers of learning and research. For decades, it has served as a valuable intellectual resource for scholars, academics, students, writers, and researchers.

Eminent religious scholars representing diverse schools of thought, distinguished intellectuals, university professors, literary figures, poets, researchers, political and religious leaders, legal professionals, judges, and government officials have all benefited from its rich scholarly resources and research facilities.

The Majlis-e-Ilmi Library houses an invaluable collection of more than 30,000 rare and significant volumes in Urdu, Arabic, Persian, and English. This extensive repository encompasses a wide spectrum of disciplines, including Qur’anic Studies, Exegesis (Tafsir), Hadith and its methodology, Biographical Evaluation of Narrators (Asma al-Rijal), Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Islamic Jurisprudence and Legal Theory, History, Lexicography, Biography, Economics,  Mysticism, Ethics, Arabic and Urdu Literature, Comparative Religion, Classical and Modern Philosophy, Science and Religion, Sociology, Theology and Creed, Poetry, Education, Madrasa Studies, Women’s Studies, and numerous other fields of intellectual inquiry.

As a result, the library has earned a distinguished reputation as a leading center for academic research and scholarship. More than 700 faculty members, researchers, and students from universities and religious institutions across Pakistan have successfully completed M.Phil. and Ph.D. research projects with the support of its resources. The Foundation continues to provide academic guidance and research assistance with the same vigor and dedication that have characterized its mission for decades.

The Foundation’s publishing program and its remarkable library complement one another in promoting scholarship, nurturing intellectual awareness, and preserving the rich legacy of knowledge. With more than forty-eight scholarly publications and a collection exceeding 30,000 volumes, Majlis-e-Ilmi stands as a testament to academic excellence, research integrity, and a lasting contribution to the intellectual development of society.

ادارہ مجلسِ علمی کی بنیاد 1931ء میں رکھی گئی، جبکہ قیامِ پاکستان کے بعد 1948ء میں اسے ہندوستان سے پاکستان منتقل کر دیا گیا۔ اس کے بعد سے یہ ادارہ مسلسل علمی، تحقیقی اور اشاعتی خدمات کے ذریعے ملک کی فکری و تعلیمی روایت کو مستحکم کرنے میں مصروفِ عمل رہا ہے۔
مجلسِ علمی کی نمایاں خدمات میں اس کی مطبوعاتی سرگرمیاں خصوصی اہمیت رکھتی ہیں۔ اب تک 48 سے زائد معیاری اور وقیع علمی و تحقیقی کتب شائع ہو چکی ہیں، جو اہلِ علم و دانش کے حلقوں میں مستند مراجع کی حیثیت اختیار کر چکی ہیں۔

مجلسِ علمی کی اشاعتی خدمات اور اس کی عظیم علمی لائبریری ایک دوسرے کی تکمیل کرتے ہوئے علم و تحقیق کے فروغ، فکری شعور کی آبیاری اور علمی ورثے کے تحفظ میں اہم کردار ادا کر رہی ہیں۔ 48 سے زائد علمی و تحقیقی مطبوعات اور 30 ہزار سے زائد کتب پر مشتمل یہ گراں قدر ذخیرہ ادارے کے علمی وقار، تحقیقی اعتماد اور دیرپا اثرات کا روشن مظہر ہے۔
