Dr. Israr Ahmad, the founder of Anjuman-e-Khudam-ul-Quran, established the Central Anjuman-e-Khudam-ul-Quran Lahore in 1972 to revive the relationship of the Ummah with the Qur'an. The organization has established several branches at home and abroad, one of which is Anjuman Khuddam Ul Quran Islamabad.
Anjuman Khuddam Ul Quran is an institution of Qur'anic service, but it would not be correct to consider it merely an institution in the general sense, but in fact it is a movement to return to the Qur'an, a movement to draw people to the Qur'an and its people.
