MSB Educational Institute
MSB Educational Institute[1] (also known as Al Madrasa Tus Saifiya Tul Burhaniyah[2][3]) is an Islamic educational institute headquartered in India. It was founded by Mohammed Burhanuddin II in 1984, with its first two branches in Mumbai, India and Nairobi, Kenya.[1] It is accredited with the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education[4] and is operated under the purview of the office of the Dai al-Mutlaq of the Dawoodi Bohras. The institute has branches in 25 cities across India, Pakistan, East Africa, and the Middle East.[4][5]
History
Islamic prophet Muhammad made it equally incumbent, upon every Muslim man and woman, to pursue knowledge.[6] In the Dawoodi Bohras community, both religious and secular education is highly valued. The community has a very high rate of literacy and there is no disparity between the opportunities to learn between boys or girls.[6] As part of this philosophy, MSB Educational Institute teaches an integrated syllabus of sciences, humanities, languages, and theological subjects with equal numbers of girls and boys.[7]
In 2017, Mufaddal Saifuddin inaugurated the MSB branch in Kuwait, which is largest MSB branch in the world at 1600 students.[8]
Campuses
As of 2020, there are 24 branches of MSB world-wide.[9]
