History and Foundation
ISO was founded at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore by Ayatollah Syed Murtaza Hussain Sadar ul Fazil, Molana Agha Ali Moosvi, Molana Safdar Hussain Najafi, and Muhammad Ali Naqvi (Shaheed). The founding vision was to organize Shi'a youth, particularly students, in a way that would preserve their religious identity, promote Islamic teachings, and counter secular and non-Islamic influences prevalent in educational institutions.
