Anjumane Nawjawanane Ali Akber was established in 1990 under the supervision of the Late Syed Mohammed Ali Rizvi (aka ‘Sachay Bhai’). It’s original members were the youth that volunteer at Mehfil-e-Shah-e-Khorasan in Englewood, NJ, USA. When ‘Sachay Bhai’ visited Mehfil-e-Shah-e-Khorasan and saw the unity amongst the youth he immediately advised that the formation of an Anjuman would further unite the youth and the community as a whole. With the counsel of ‘Sachay Bhai’, Syed Ehtesham Naqvi sought out the support of individuals that saw the vision as ‘Sachay Bhai’ and himself did. After an effortless recruitment of supporters, Syed Ehtesham Naqvi along with Syed Muneer Husain became the founders of the Anjuman. It was at this point that ‘Sachay Bhai’ along with the Anjuman’s Sahebe Biaz, Syed Zaigham Ahsan Naqvi created the famous title for Nawjawanane Ali Akber. After having formed the Anjuman, the founding members, along with ‘Sachay Bhai’, began the preparations for what would be the first Shab Bedari in the United States of America. Over the years, the event received and continues to receive the support and participation of world renown Noha Khwans such as Syed Mohammed Ali Rizvi ‘Sachey’, Nazim Hussain, Syed Ali Zia Rizvi, Afaq Hussain, Abrar Husain and Shahid Biltistani to name a few. In recent years, the Anjuman, with a rejuvenated core of members, has set out to expand the reach of the Anjuman outside of Ayame Aza. Proposed activities and events include, Nawchundi Jume Raat Noha and Matam to encourage our youth, a Jashan for the Wiladat of Shezada Ali Akber (A.S.), a Community Picnic and various volunteer efforts to help those in need.
