Spiritual Self-Improvement Gatherings:

Gatherings are scheduled at JBA for the spiritual development of students wherein teachers discuss the different aspects of spiritual self-improvement (tazkia nafs).

Dawah

As per the Tablighi curriculum, dawah rounds are conducted every Wednesday, and talks by different religious, scholarly, and dawah personalities are scheduled. Similarly, Tablighi groups (juma’at) of dozens of students are arranged for twenty-hour Tablighi trips, and similar arrangements are made for the shab-e-jumma.

Three-day tabligh visits (seh roza) and religious retreats (chilla) are also organized and groups of national and international students go on Tablighi trips throughout the country.

Calligraphy and Academic Writing:

JBA has expert calligraphers helping students in what is still considered the important traditional art of calligraphy. Students are also trained in academic writing and many Binoria graduates are now performing their organizational obligations in various national journals and magazines.

Annual Debates Competition

Cultural Activities

To inculcate philanthropy and altruism in students, activities are organized around community services. Some of these are providing the local community with services such as organizing blood donation camps, street cleaning programs, and first aid services for which students are trained. In addition to these, students also take part in tree-planting activities to foster awareness of global warming.
