In the city of Quetta, Pakistan, there stands a new high school named after the famous scholar and theologian, Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali. This is one of many schools that will be established by Sir Syed Muhammad Shah in Pakistan. The school provides education to children from grades Monti through Matric. There are also some post-graduate courses available for those who wish to pursue them. When Sir Syed Muhammad Shah launched this educational facility, he had several objectives in mind. First, he wanted to support his community by providing quality education to its members at an early age. He also wanted to provide a place of refuge for orphans and to help poorer families afford their children's education. The school occupies one acre of land and has twenty classrooms, a canteen, staff rooms, a clinic, a library, and multipurpose rooms for various activities. The school also has its own playground, volleyball court, badminton court, and cricket field. Inside the school, the compound lies a lush green lawn and gardens that add even more beauty to the campus. The students benefit from a well-equipped educational facility and a safe, comfortable campus. The classrooms have modern chairs and tables for studying and working; LCD projectors for lecturing bright light fixtures for better visibility; whiteboards for writing on; and bookshelves for storing textbooks. Apart from supporting religious tolerance among youth, this educational facility supports Muslim values such as piety, self-regulation, and compassion toward others. All faculties under the school's jurisdiction benefit society in some way. Each faculty sponsors an annual festival or fair where students can exhibit their skills or promote goods they manufacture or sell at cost price. This encourages responsible citizenship and makes students aware that they belong to society as much as they belong to their family units. The new high school named after Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali serves as an inspiration. It exemplifies many commendable ideas about how an educational facility should function in order to benefit society as a whole. While not every facet of this school works perfectly - no institution ever does - it is still an invaluable resource for those who seek higher education in Quetta.
