The meaning of Hizb-ul-Ansar in its spirit is “group of helpers”. In religious terms it means a group of pious people who come together in a sincere and committed effort to help Islam, the Deen of Allah and its followers who are in need of support. Through their support, contributions and donations the education, upbringing and help of poor students, families and the weaker section of society is possible.
Maulana Zahoor Ahmed Bugvi laid the foundation of Majlis Hizb ul Ansar on 5th November 1929 AD for the preservation, propagation of Islamic concepts and principles. The reason behind establishment of this body was the benefit of Muslims so that they could spend their lives in the light of Islamic ideology and teachings in all aspects and manner of life. It aimed to eliminate the social taboos of Hinduism from within the society. So that the Muslims could play their due role in understanding their religion as well as to build knowledge in science and technology through education. So that all muslims male and female could be imparted both the worldly and Islamic modes of education. It aimed to provide help to economically weak Muslim families through monetary, health provision and skill building activities. It aimed to provide dignity and distinction in the Muslim society by following the true and eternal path shown to Muslims through Quran and Sunnah. Maulana Zahoor Ahmed Bugvi was the Ameer of Majlis Hizb ul Ansar from 1929 AD till 1945 AD. Maulana Iftikhar Ahmed Bugvi was the second Ameer from 1945 AD till 1975 AD. Sahibzada Abrar Ahmed Bugvi is the current Ameer of the organization and is continuing the services of the Bugvi Family in Bhera.
