The vision of this institute is defined in the words of al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin^RA, which states that mumineen must perceive their learnings and actions in the light of wahy (divine revelation);

“مؤمن نسس ايم لازم ؛ ـــــ سوطط لازم ؛ كھ ايم تصور نقش كرسس دل ثثر كھ هوسس ميطط

هر وقت وحي ني روشني ما} ديكهيس”

Likewise, al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin^TUS has wished that every mumin’s house should have at least one hafiz, as He states:

هرايك ككهر ما ايك تو هوئي} ـــــ كھ جھ نسس ثثورا قراْن حفظ هوئي

During the 63^rd  annual convocation of Aligarh Muslim University on 27^th  Feb 2016, al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin^TUS as chancellor stated in his address:

حاضرین کرام! میرے والد بزرگوار تقدس مآب سیدنا محمد برہان الدین^رض نہ صرف مکمل کلام اللہ کہ حافظ تھے بلکہ حقیقت حفظ معنوی – صاحب معرفت بھی تھے، آپ نے جامعہ سیفیہ کہ تمام طلباء کہ لۓحفظ القرآن کا نصاب مقرر فرمایا، حفظ القرآن کی تعلیم وتـــدریس کہ لۓ معہد الزھراء قائم فرمایا، میری تمنا اور دعاء ہے کہ لفظ اور معنی کہ نقطہء نظر سے حفظ القرآن کے سلسلے کی برکت تمام عالم اسلام میں عام ہو جاۓ، اور ہر گھر میں کم ازکم ایک فرد تو حافظ القرآن ہو، جس کی برکت سے ہر گھر جسمانی اور روحانی رزق سے فیضیاب ہوتا رہے

‘Distinguished Guests! My respected father His Holiness Dr Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin^RA not only memorised the entire Holy Quran; but he also imbibed the meanings contained in its verses and was, therefore, a man of great discernment. He stipulated that committing the Holy Quran to memory be part of the curriculum for the students of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah, and he established Mahad al-Zahra for this memorisation, along with the study of Quranic arts and sciences. It is my wish and prayer that the blessings of this continuing endeavour to memorise the Holy Quran, from the perspective of both its words and meanings, spread throughout the entire Muslim world to such an extent that each and every household boasts of at least one individual who has memorised the entire Quran. The blessings of this will enable each house to be graced with temporal and spiritual sustenance.

These words establish a clear vision for Mahad al-Zahra. They narrate its function of striving the wish of al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin^TUS to see a hafiz in every household, and enabling each individual to lead a life in the light of divine revelation.
