Our warmest greetings to everyone!
We are humbled to be representing not just our grandfather, but also those individuals who have sacrificed their lives to protect and strengthen the message of Islam. We request this moment to send your best salutations and blessings to Prophet Muhammad and his Pure Household. They are truly the heart and soul of Islam.
The inspiration of our grandfather was neither shortsighted in vision, nor limited to a certain time period and generation. He laid a foundation for a community whose roots in a newly formed independent country were still in its infancy. It’s this vision of community which has empowered thousands in Karachi, Pakistan to walk in peaceful commemoration for Imam Ali (as). It’s this same Ali (as) who guided a Muslim community in need of leadership at a time of discourse and division of the Ummah.
We organize the Zamir ul-Hasan Trust in remembrance of our grandfather and the high moral character displayed by Imam Ali (as). The goal is to inspire and motivate the bright young minds living in both the East and West to get involved in the community. The initiatives planned will reach out to individuals from all backgrounds, including and not limited to current and future high school students, college/university level students, and working professionals. It will enable the community to build an everlasting network with individuals and organizations who share the same spirit and motivation. It will also foster lasting professional connections, volunteer opportunities, and annual scholarship funds.
As we are in the initial phase, we ask for your patience. We will keep this page updated to reflect our progress!

To those individuals pursuing higher education both at the undergraduate or graduate levels, we commend the efforts and progress in your chosen field of study. We recognize and understand the financial responsibilities which students must carry during school and post-graduation. The Rafiq Bano Annual Scholarship Program seeks to provide a support system for students currently undertaking an undergraduate or graduate degree in Pakistan. God willing, our initiative will also enable students residing overseas to participate in the near future.
We will update this section to include the eligibility criteria, deadlines, and scholarships offered in this program.
