Al-hamdu lillah, by the grace of Allah Almighty, the new academic year 2026–27 commenced today at Jamia Al-Karam, marking the institution's 42nd year of academic teaching.

The inaugural assembly featured the opening lesson delivered by our founder and principal, Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada, who warmly welcomed students and encouraged them as they began another year on the noble journey of sacred knowledge.

The Vice-Principal, Bakhtyar H. Pirzada, also addressed the assembly, outlining the essential etiquettes of study at Jamia Al-Karam and the spirit of discipline in code and conduct that should accompany the pursuit of knowledge.

This year's new cohort includes students beginning Year 1, alongside students entering Year 2 after successfully completing the 18-month Alim Course delivered at partner centres across the country.

We pray that Allah Almighty makes this a year of beneficial knowledge, spiritual growth and lasting service, and blesses every student as they take their next steps on this sacred journey.

Students at partner centres across the country recently sat their July examinations as part of Jamia Al-Karam’s Nationwide Alim Course.

These scenes reflect the serious study taking place within our local mosques and communities, as well as the continuity, shared standards and nationwide coordination underpinning the programme. Examination papers are prepared and moderated by Jamia Al-Karam, with completed scripts returned to the institution for centralised marking and assessment.

May Allah Almighty bless the efforts of every student, teacher and partner centre, and grant continued success to this important educational endeavour.

Following the conclusion of the academic year, teachers and staff at Jamia Al-Karam came together for three highly productive days of reflection, professional development and forward planning.

The first two days provided an opportunity to review the achievements and lessons of the past year, consider the institution’s strategic direction, strengthen professional practice, and develop the academic programme, curriculum, teaching arrangements and priorities for 2026–27.

The final day was dedicated to the marking and moderation of examination papers from the Nationwide Alim Course, delivered through Jamia Al-Karam’s partner mosques and centres across the country.

The inset reflected a shared commitment to continuous improvement, collective responsibility and preparing Jamia Al-Karam for the academic year ahead.
