With a foundation laid by his father’s teachings, Haroon pursued rigorous academic training in prestigious Islamic institutions, gaining expertise in Shariah, Arabic literature, and Islamic jurisprudence. His journey has been one of dedication, from leading educational programs and authoring essential works to nurturing youth through MSB’s initiatives. This article delves into Haroon Rashid Khaja's life, achievements, and enduring contributions to Islamic education and the youth of Kashmir.

Early Life and Education

[edit]

Haroon Rashid Khaja was raised in a household known for its intellectual richness. His father, Ali Mohammad Khaja, was a well-known preacher of the منہج صحابہ and introduced this methodology in the region. He emphasized adherence to Shariah principles, which greatly influenced Haroon's upbringing.

After completing his initial education from local scholars in his village, he enrolled in the renowned Islamic institution الکلیۃ السلفیۃ in Mominabad, Batamaloo, Srinagar. Between 1991 and 1998, he completed an eight-year Shariah course and graduated with the شہادۃ العالیۃ الشرعیۃ with a grade of جید جدًا (Very Good). During this period, he also completed his matriculation and 11th-grade exams in contemporary education.

He then pursued further studies in Arabic literature at دار العلوم ندوۃ العلماء in Lucknow, UP. In 1999, Haroon received an acceptance from the esteemed جامعۃ الملک سعود in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 2001, he graduated with شہادۃ الکفایۃ في اللغۃ العربیۃ (A+ grade) and continued his studies, earning a Bachelor's degree (B.A., B.Ed.) in Shariah sciences, specializing in فقه and اصول الفقه with مع الشرف الثاني (Second Class Honour) by 2006.
