In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful

In the spirit of the legendary Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi, known for his chivalry, military strategy, and the liberation of Jerusalem from the Crusaders, the Salahuddin Ayyubi Foundation embarks on a visionary project: the establishment of Al Aqsa University in Ajmer. This institution aims not just to educate but to inspire and prepare a new generation of leaders, scholars, and activists rooted in the values of justice, knowledge, and resilience.

 
No one can defeat the nation whose youth is awakened

A nation that does not educate its children is a nation that is doomed to Fail.

Our Mission

The Salahuddin Ayyubi Foundation—inspired by the indomitable spirit of Salahuddin Ayyubi, the great Muslim warrior and ruler—has embarked on a monumental mission. We aim to establish an iconic educational institution in Ajmer, Rajasthan, akin to the renowned Aligarh Muslim University. This endeavor is rooted in our commitment to education, empowerment, and fostering unity, encapsulating the rich legacy of Salahuddin Ayyubi himself.

Our Approach

Salahuddin Ayyubi Foundation is a non-governmental organization based in Ajmer, India, that aims to enhance education and improve the quality of life for Muslims. The foundation’s approach is Uplifting the educational standards and overall well-being of Muslims, honoring the timeless legacy of Salahuddin Ayyubi and his indomitable spirit.

Al Aqsa University

Al Aqsa University seeks to embody the legacy of Salahuddin by fostering an environment where education transcends traditional learning. Here, students will delve into the arts, sciences, Islamic studies, and contemporary subjects, all while being encouraged to understand and engage with global issues, particularly those affecting the Muslim world.

History and Values

Salahuddin Ayyubi Foundation is a non-governmental organization based in Ajmer, India, that aims to enhance education and improve the quality of life for Muslims. The foundation was established by Mohammad Rais Khatri, an entrepreneur and social activist, in the memory of the great Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi, also known as Saladin, who was a courageous and brilliant Muslim leader during the 12th century.

The foundation’s history and values are inspired by the legacy of Salahuddin Ayyubi, who was a true follower of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and famous for his bravery, statesmanship, justice, mercy, tolerance, and as a brilliant military leader and soldier. He ruled over present-day Israel, Palestine, Yemen, Egypt, Upper Mesopotamia, Syria, a few parts of Africa and Turkey, and established the Ayyubid Dynasty. He also fought against the European Crusaders who had conquered Jerusalem and killed Thousands of Muslims in 1099. He eventually liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187 after the Battle of Hattin.

Our values are the principles and beliefs that guide the way Salahuddin Ayyubi Foundation operates and represent the essence of our organization. Our values set the standards for our community members, tell the story about our culture and identity, and guide us in our decision-making to enable us to shape the future in an ever-changing environment.
