Maulana Tariq Jameel (MTJ) Foundation has launched a free ambulance service “in times of need for the needy.”
Sharing pictures of MTJ visiting the newly bought ambulances on social media, the MTJ foundation wrote: “Molana Tariq Jamil visiting the newly bought ambulances by MTJ Foundation. We are thankful to all the contributors who enabled us buy the ambulances to provide the service in times of need to the needy.”
Maulana had earlier launched his clothing brand. He clarified in a statement that the purpose of his business is to run madressahs so that they are not dependent on Zakat.
However, according to a video message shared on his social media pages, he said that he established Madrasa tul Hasnain in the year 2000 where students can seek whole education in the Arabic language. It has now been expanded to 10 branches, it was not easy to manage financially.

Maulana further mentioned that some prosperous people took the accountability to run religious schools. In the year 2020, the coronavirus pandemic caused huge losses to the business and later turned worse for Madrasa tul Hasnain branches as the government had to shut down the operations due to lack of finances.
Meanwhile, clarifying rumours, he said that he never wanted to make profit from of this business, adding that the whole idea was to provision the seminaries in the financial crisis.
He seemed to oppose the dilemma in the subcontinent as people criticise religious personalities for going for business although it is Sunnah. He termed doing business as Sunnah referring to Imam Abu Hanifa who was one of the notable cloth merchants of his time.
