TheImamia Students Organization (ISO) (Urdu: امامیہ اسٹوڈنٹس آرگنائزیشن پاکستان) is a Shi'a Muslim student organization based in Pakistan. Founded on 22 May 1972, ISO promotes Islamic values, religious unity, student welfare, and ideological awareness among the youth. The organization has a significant presence in educational institutions across Pakistan and operates through a structured, tiered administrative model.
ISO was founded at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore by Ayatollah Syed Murtaza Hussain Sadar ul Fazil, Molana Agha Ali Moosvi, Molana Safdar Hussain Najafi, and Muhammad Ali Naqvi (Shaheed). The founding vision was to organize Shi'a youth, particularly students, in a way that would preserve their religious identity, promote Islamic teachings, and counter secular and non-Islamic influences prevalent in educational institutions.
The core objectives of ISO include:
Imamia Students Organization (ISO) undertakes a wide range of activities aimed at student development, community welfare, and religious education. These include:
Religious and Educational Programs
Cultural and Literary Events
Blood Donation Drives
Career and Academic Counseling
Social and Community Services
Al-Quds and Protest Rallies
Contrary to claims of foreign influence, ISO maintains that it is entirelyself-funded, primarily through member contributions. While the organization acknowledges ideological guidance from the Iranian religious leadership, it denies receiving any direct financial support from Iran.
Though ISO is non-political in its direct operations, it shares ideological alignment with organizations such as:
These connections often manifest in joint religious and humanitarian events, though ISO retains an independent identity.
As of 2022, ISO has over2200 units spread across urban and rural Pakistan. It continues to expand its footprint in both traditional and digital platforms to reach youth and mobilize them under its vision.
