By the grace of Allah, on 7th Muharram 1438 AH, 19th October 2016, Hazrat Aqdas Shah Mohammad Nawal-ur-Rehman Sahib Damat Barakatham founded the academy in Chicago, USA on Sunday with some instructions and prayers, starting with three students and two teachers.
He named it Shah Masihullah Academy after his Shaykh Hazrat Masihullah Khan Sahib, and said that the blessings of Hazrat Masih-ul-Ummah are common all over the world, and he hoped that through this academy also Allah Almighty will make his Shaykh Hazrat Masihullah Khan Sahib’s Faizan more common.
