Aiwan-e-Mehr Ali Shah (Trust) was established in 1999 by Pirs of Golra Sharif, an extremely influential, enlightened and very well respected family of Mashaikh based in Islamabad. Syed Ghulam Moin-ul-Haq Gilani, eldest son of the present Sajjada Nashin (Care taker) of shrine of Golra Sharif heads the Trust which is developing some very important fora for promoting sufi teachings and cultivating values of love, compassion, tolerance and blending sufi wisdom with western sciences. The Trust has been publishing a magazine Mehr-e- Munir for the past five years and its regular features include the teachings of Sufi Masters like Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Rumi, Saa'di and Syed Pir Mehr Ali Shah. The Trust is also planning to establish a University whose core courses would consist of Information Technology, Sufism and Management sciences and it will groom students both from traditional Madrassas and colleges. This University will focus on research degrees with special emphasis on Sufism and contemporary societies. Feasibility for the University has been prepared and fund raising is underway. The Trust is also developing a website for Muslim youth in Pakistan and abroad so that the youth is prepared to carry  "  the message of healing rather than instruments of violence". Trust also has a vision to form a network in the form of International Council of Mosques to give voice to the concerns of silent and peace loving Muslim majority and save it from becoming hostage to violent minority. A research and publication wing of the Trust publishes popular books on Islam and Sufism. An active engagement with the Patron of the Trust will create many critical openings for promoting the message of understanding towards USA and establishing clear distinction between terrorism and Islam in popular mind.
