About us

We are the followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Ahlulbayt. We believe in the Awaited Savior, Imam al-Mahdi (ATFS), and that he is currently in occultation. Upon his advent, the earth will be filled with justice. During the major occultation, it is our duty to move towards building a strong and independent Islamic Civilization. We respect and love non-Muslims and invite them towards understanding the humane values of Islam as taught to us by the Holy Prophet and his progeny. In today’s age, people are spending more time on Social Media than in Religious Centers. It is an excellent opportunity to establish an online library resource to reach out to the world with the teachings of Ahlulbayt.

What is HREC: Hasnain Raza Education Centre (HREC) is an Islamic Learning Hub named after my beloved father (Late) Syed Hasnain Raza Rizvi (His photo is captured in the logo). This voluntary work is dedicated to him and my beloved mother (Late Saeed Fatima) for their eesal-e-sawab with the intention of Qurbatan ilallah. In October 2015, we have started a Facebook page entitled Hasnain Raza Education Centre – (HREC) and now has started this separate website under the same name but with an extended scope.

Our Purpose: Our vision is to spread the message of Prophet & Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them) and pave the path for the reappearance of Imam Al-Mahdi (ATFS). The main purpose of this website is to cater to the religious, ethical and spiritual interests of the Islamic and non-Islamic communities at large by providing a vast range of quality and relevant information.

We aim to propagate the Islamic awakening and invite audiences towards spirituality, ethics, love & morality and to have HREC as a centralised, one-stop knowledge database. It will have relevant, concise and authentic Islamic material, with the anticipation that these resources could play an effective role for the development and growth of a quality personality of Shia Muslims and others.

Our Values: HREC is guided by the principles taught by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his Ahlulbayt (PBUH). We pray that our work is accepted by Allah (SWT) and the Imam of our time (AJFS), and that through these small actions, we may help pave the way for his return and assist in training ourselves and his future leaders and companions, inshAllah.

Our Sources: The information HREC offers is sourced from the most reliable and the most in-depth books, websites, and people of knowledge, ranging from scholars to Aalims/Sheikhs. A lot of information is available on various websites and Youtube channels and we have covered very limited info with the anticipation to provide various type of leads so a reader can get some prompts to look for further details. Apart from its already published pages, HREC is frequently being updated with new and more significant articles and sections that will make it a pure source of education and enlightenment.

Salient features: Besides videos on Majalis e Aza/lectures/Dars and Q&A sessions by prominent Scholars, eBooks, Kids resources (Quranic-Ethical & Islamic), Info on free training courses, this Islamic learning hub also covers Interfaith discussions and material for Non-Muslims/Converts/Reverts communities so it would be helpful for them to Discover Islam e Muhammadi.

With your continuous support and visits, we can make HREC a beneficial Islamic Learning Hub for all people regardless of their age, background, culture and everything in between. We are happy to get any comments you may have!

We pray that Allāh gives us the tawfīq to actualise our duties and responsibilities.

Eltimas e dua.
