Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Abul Lais Educational and Welfare Trust aims to build institutions that develop children's spiritual awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and nurture problem-solving skills through literacy and numeracy programmes — whilst fostering empathy, civic sense, independence, and holistic personal growth. The Trust continues to initiate projects and programmes that enable its beneficiaries to achieve success in this life and the hereafter.
Our Vision
We firmly uphold the conviction that service to mankind is service to God. Human beings are born with a heart of compassion that resonates with the feelings of fellow humans. Compassion, love, affection, and care are the innate qualities that define our humanity — and it is precisely these values that guide every initiative of the Trust.

A Word from Our Leaders
“Abul Lais Educational and Welfare Trust was formed in loving memory of my beloved father in 2009, and Zaib Academy was established in the name of my beloved mother in 2015 — during her own lifetime. It is a labour of love, faith, and purpose that we carry forward with devotion.”
NA
Niaz Ahmad
President
“By the grace of Allah, Zaib Academy has been running its Hifz-ul-Quran programme since 2015 and has produced eleven Huffaz, with eighteen further graduates passing their Madhyamik examinations with distinction. We envision that by 2030, hundreds of our students will pursue careers as teachers, doctors, engineers, and lawyers — serving society with faith and excellence.”
TA
MD Tabrez Ahmar Azhari
General Secretary
“With a decade of experience across law and education — including work with the Azim Premji Foundation — I joined Abul Lais Trust in 2022 with a singular commitment: building sustainable educational institutions where communities can truly thrive. Every child who walks through our doors carries within them the potential to transform the world.”
