* "Hira schools would promote ideological, intellectual, educational and civilization bases in the light of Islamic principles.
* Establish Hira schools to educate Muslim youth to counter the hollow slogans of liberalism, materialism and so called enlightenment.
* By creating a sense of responsibility the youth should be awakened to the loss incurred on them by the current waves of anti Islamic and anti- social movements and help regain the lost confidence of the Ummah and the Country.
* Promote the chosen style of the life of the Prophet among the trainers to bring the next generation out of the present chaos and despondence to courage and determination."
The curriculum is provided by the Association For Academic Quality (AFAQ)<ref name="Website 01" /> and includes AFAQ's Sun Series and AFAQ's Iqbal Series of textbooks.<ref>{{cite web|title=AFAQ Curriculum|url=http://www.afaq.edu.pk/index.php?func=page&page_id=60&nav=l|accessdate=9 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150801102038/http://www.afaq.edu.pk/index.php?func=page&page_id=60&nav=l|archive-date=1 August 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
