Mustafavi Students Movement (MSM) is a student organization established on October 6, 1994, in Lahore, Pakistan, by Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri.[1] According to its stated mission, the group aims to advocate for student welfare and promote educational and moral development.[2] It operates in universities, colleges, schools, and religious institutions across Pakistan.[2][3]
Activities
MSM has participated in student-led protests and initiatives. In 2021, the organization expressed support for medical students during demonstrations against the Medical and Dental Colleges Admission Test (MDCAT), citing concerns over the exam's structure and the Pakistan Medical Commission's administration.[4]
Following the 2014 Peshawar massacre, MSM organized vigils and events to commemorate the victims.[5] In 2013, MSM members joined protests at Govt Girls Postgraduate College after allegations of harassment against a student, calling for an official investigation.[6]
In 2023, MSM President Farhan Aziz publicly advocated for the reinstatement of student unions in Pakistan, stating that students lacked representation in national decision-making.[7]
On November 19, 2023, MSM hosted a Student Awareness Congregation, where Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri delivered a speech. The event emphasized youth engagement in national issues.[8]
Reported activities include educational seminars, peace walks, free tutoring services, religious study sessions (such as Halqat-e-Durood and Duroos-e-Quran), academic support programs, and blood donation drives.[1]
OBJECTIVES
- Spiritual and Moral Development: Instilling obedience to Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through teachings that foster prophetic character.[1]
- Educational Reform: Combating illiteracy, improving educational standards, and redirecting students from political activism to academic goals.[1]
- Social Justice: Addressing student frustrations, unemployment, and exploitation, while advocating for women’s rights.[1][9]
