MSB Educational Institute[3] (also known as Al Madrasa Tus Saifiya Tul Burhaniyah[4][5]) is an Islamic educational institute headquartered in India. It was founded by Mohammed Burhanuddin II in 1985, with its first two branches in Mumbai, India and Nairobi, Kenya.[3] It is accredited with the ICSE and IGCSE educational boards and is operated under the purview of the office of the Dai al-Mutlaq of the Dawoodi Bohras.[2] The institute has branches in 25 cities in 7 countries[citation needed] across India, Pakistan, East Africa, and the Middle East.[6]

History

Islamic prophet Muhammad made it equally incumbent, upon every Muslim man and woman, to pursue knowledge.[7] 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.[7] 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.[8]

In 2017, Mufaddal Saifuddin inaugurated the MSB branch in Kuwait, which is largest MSB branch in the world at 1600 students.[9]

Campuses

As of 2022, there are 24 branches of MSB worldwide with 12,013 students.[10]
