In accordance with the Prophetic tradition which makes the pursuit of knowledge obligatory upon every Muslim man and woman, seeking education has been of primary importance to the community. In Karachi itself, there are seven community administered schools. Moreover, Syedna Taher Saifuddin, the 51st leader of the community, established the Saifee Eide Zahabi Institute of Technology in 1963 to promote technical education in Pakistan. His son and successor, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin endowed the Department of Genetics at the University of Karachi. The 53rd and current leader of the community, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, continues to champion the cause of education with an endowment of the Faculty of Law at the University of Karachi, which is currently under construction.

The community also advocates for health and fitness. The ‘al-Nadi al-Burhani’ is a sports and recreational complex located in the heart of the city which is open to all members of the public. In addition to this, community run hospitals organise health check up camps on a timely basis. Under the banner of Project Rise, community volunteers continue to conduct environment conservation drives and provide relief to the less fortunate
