PRIORITY: FUNERAL SUPPORT
Ulema Self Care Forum (USCF) is a registered, community-driven non-profit organization - a unit of Khidmat Educational and Welfare Trust - dedicated to serving the most vulnerable members of our society. We stand with those who are often left alone in their hardest times - the family shattered by the death of their breadwinner, the poor girl waiting for Nikah, the patient fighting for treatment, and the innocent Imam trapped in a false case.
Our core activities focus on four pillars of urgent need: 1. Funeral Support & Family Rehabilitation for families who have lost their sole earner, 2. Nikah Assistance for poor and orphan girls, 3. Medical Assistance for critical and life-saving treatments, and 4. Legal Aid for Ulema and Madaris facing false allegations. Every rupee is spent with full transparency and Shariah compliance.
To protect the dignity of Ulema-e-Kiram, Imams, and Muazzins by providing timely, transparent, and Shariah-compliant financial support through a direct member-to-member system. Our mission prioritizes 1. Funeral Support for bereaved families, 2. Nikah Assistance for poor daughters, 3. Medical Relief for life-threatening illness, and 4. Legal Aid for false cases, with complete Amanat and Dayanat.
To build a self-reliant, united, and empowered community of Ulema where no Aalim, Imam, or his family is left helpless in hardship. We envision a Pan-India Jasad-e-Wahid - a community based on Bahami Ta'awun, where every Active Member stands as a guarantor for his brother in times of death, Nikah, illness, and injustice.
Tracing our path of impact and the milestones that define our commitment to change.
We often saw that the Ulema, Imams, and Muazzins who carry the pain of the entire Ummah in their hearts, were left alone in their own pain - be it the death of a loved one, the Nikah of a daughter, or a severe illness. No one was there to see their pain, and it caused us deep heartache. This very pain became the first seed of USCF.
"Na hum-safar, na kisi hum-nasheen se niklega
Hamaare paaon ka kaanta hamin se niklega!"
(Neither a fellow traveler nor a companion will remove it - the thorn in our foot will have to be removed by us ourselves)
That realization forced us to think - if we don't understand our own pain, who will?
With this concern in our hearts, in late 2025 when Allah blessed us with the opportunity of Umrah, we came to know about a well-organized community system working on the same principle of mutual cooperation (Bahami Ta'awun). In the blessed lands of Haramain Sharifain, our belief became firm - this thorn can indeed be removed by us, together.
After returning from Umrah, we presented this idea before our respected Ustaz, Hazrat Maulana Saheb Ali Chaturvedi Sahab, and other senior Ulema-e-Kiram. With their sincere Duas, guidance, and Mashwara, the foundation of Ulema Self Care Forum (USCF) was laid. It was given a legal shape as a unit of Khidmat Educational and Welfare Trust (Regd. No. 220/2026), with Funeral Support fixed as the 1st Priority.
Alhamdulillah, today that dream is a reality in action. Through our transparent model of Rs. 51/Year Active Membership and 90% Direct Member-to-Member Help, verified appeals for Funeral, Nikah, Medical, and Legal Aid are ongoing. No central fund is collected - every Active Member helps the needy directly in their bank account and uploads the receipt. Indeed, we are removing our own thorn, by ourselves.
Our team is not of employees, but of Khadims - guided by senior Ulema and managed by dedicated volunteers to ensure Amanat, Shafafiyat and Jasad-e-Wahid

Our core purpose is to stand with the most vulnerable - the poor, the oppressed, the sick, and the bereaved - by providing timely Nikah, Legal, Medical, and Funeral assistance with dignity, amanat, and transparency.
Assisting bereaved families with kafan-dafan, qabarstan expenses, and immediate financial support.
Supporting poor and orphan girls with marriage expenses, jahez, and essential household items.
Providing legal guidance, representation, and defense support for innocent individuals.
Providing financial assistance for critical medical treatments, surgeries, and medicines.
USCF is not a charity where you donate and forget. It is a Shariah-compliant, transparent system of Jasad-e-Wahid where every Active Member directly helps the verified needy.
When an Active Member passes away, it is our first duty. We immediately verify and issue an appeal to all Active Members for direct help to the bereaved family for Kafan-Dafan, Iddat and immediate needs. This is the foundation of our Jasad-e-Wahid.
"The pain of one is the pain of all - we stand together in death and grief."
A poor Aalim, Imam or Muazzin often struggles to meet the marriage expenses of his daughters. Through Nikah Assistance, we coordinate direct member-to-member support for wedding expenses, jahez, and essential household items to protect their dignity.
"Protecting the honor and dignity of our daughters is a shared responsibility of the entire community."
Aapka Rs. 51 sirf ek fee nahi, ek ehad hai. Ek ehad ki hum ek-doosre ko tanha nahi chhodenge. Aaj aap kisi ke kaam aayenge, kal poori jamaat aapke saath khadi hogi.
