Introduction and Establishment
The Ulama Self Care Forum i.e. USCF was started on 7th July 2026. This forum is for Ulama-e-Kiram who serve in Madaris, Masajid including teachers, Imams and Muazzins, as well as Ulama who are engaged in business.
The issue of low salary of teachers of Madaris, especially private institutions, and Imams of Masajid is not hidden from anyone. Most Ulama are not even able to meet the basic needs of their household from their salary. Furthermore, if the time of daughter’s marriage arrives, or God forbid, a severe life-threatening disease afflicts them, or they get arrested in a false case, then their distress increases even more. Similarly, if they pass away, then their aged parents, orphaned children, widowed wife, brothers and sisters become completely helpless.
To reduce this very distress, USCF has been formed. Come, let us become a practical example of the Hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:
الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ، يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا
“A believer to another believer is like a building, one part strengthens the other”!
2) Aims and Objectives of the Organization
- Help on Demise: To provide financial assistance to the family of any Active Member from among the Ulama-e-Kiram upon his demise.
- Help on Daughter’s Marriage: All members will jointly help on the marriage of the daughter of an Active Member.
- Legal Help: Allah forbid, if any Active Member gets trapped in a false case, the members will contribute donations for legal help.
