INTRODUCTION :
Islami Roohani Mission is a spiritual and reformative organization that aims to reform our society from social and spiritual ills. These are the hard times when our society is crippled under the burden of social, political and spiritual decadence.

By the Grace of Allah Almighty, Islami Roohani Mission felt the need and has taken up the task of reforming our society of these ills. Our spiritual guide Hazrat Allama Professor Muhammad Maqsood Elahi Naqshbandi laid the foundation of Islami Roohani Mission to start this daunting task of social and spiritual reformation of our society.
The aim of IRM (Islami Roohani Mission) is neither to seek votes nor money but to uproot these social and spiritual evils from the hearts and minds of the people solely seeking the pleasure of Allah Almighty and the Blessed Holy Prophet (ﷺ). IRM has launched concerted efforts to eliminate bribery, corruption, sectarianism, provincial and linguistic differences, unemployment and ignorance from our society. It promises you to prepare such individuals who are knowledgeable in religion and equally competent in other disciplines of modern forms of knowledge. These individuals are not only productive in the worldly sense but also well prepared to propagate the message of Islam to the world.
IRM holds spiritual gatherings both at the main center and provincial and regional centers to quench the spiritual thirst of thousands of people. It holds hundreds of these programs both inside and outside Pakistan to propagate the message of Islam. Thousands and thousands of people get right religious guidance in these programs and many non-Muslims enter the folds of Islam in them. IRM is equally paying attention to media and publication to disseminate the message of Islam. There are hundreds of books being published and posted free online for the greater benefit of humanity at large and Muslims in particular. The income that comes through the sale of these publication is spent on further publications and dissemination of this message. Preaching groups travel both inside and outside Pakistan to preach Islam throughout the year.

They are spread all across the country and abroad especially African continent. This unique education system combines religious education with modern educational subjects (sciences etc.). These graduates of these schools are not only religious scholars but also well versed in different social and natural sciences.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ISLAMI ROOHANI MISSION
Man is trying unsuccessfully to find peace of mind in wealth, fame and other luxuries of life. Constant failure to get that peace is a testimony that these worldly pleasures cannot afford anyone this peace of mind. In fact, this is against the very nature of man that seeks affinity with his creator through remembrance of Allah Almighty. True peace of mind can only be achieved through a sustained connection with Allah Almighty and in selfless service of humanity. There are people who spend whole of their life running after these pleasures of life and dissipate all their energies by running after these illusions and deceptions. The glare of these worldly things and temporal pleasures cannot afford the real peace of mind. Allah Almighty has guided some of His slaves to the secret of this peace of mind. Instead of wandering after these deceptive pleasures, these lucky people find peace and solace in remembrance of Allah Almighty and in the service of humanity. Finding the purpose of life is one of the key purposes of life that we have been bestowed by Allah Almighty. It is as clear as a day that every little thing that exists or created by Allah Almighty has a purpose, how about the human being, the crown of the creations? What exalting and grand purpose that might have? How it comes that this life is lived without having a purpose?
Islami Roohani Mission is a platform that helps finding a purpose of life. It teaches us the lesson that difficulties and problems of life can be solved if human determination stands firm to solve them. If we are determined, we can rid our society of bribery, theft, gambling, cruelty, ignorance, injustice, nepotism, sexual perversion and all forms of corruption by following the teachings of Islam. This message has a potential to produce such characters that can change the destiny of our world. Islami Roohani Mission provides such a platform where all the considerations of color, cast, linguistic and regional differences come to naught. It affords people to fulfil the purpose of life keeping safe themselves from Satanic intrusions and ailments of our social and spiritual illnesses. They come brotherly and stand shoulder to shoulder to face the challenge of reformation of this society.
