NIJAAT is the brain-child of Haji Faruque Azam & Haji Hyder Azam who are the Convenor & Co-Convener respectively of this National Institute of Jihad Against Atrocities & Terrorism.

NIJAAT came into being after the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai, a date that went down in infamy. India being the largest democracy in the world has its fair share of terrorist & seperatist organizations spanning its length & breadth.

'NIJAAT' literally means 'Liberation' in Urdu & in Hindi 'NI-JAAT' means 'One who belongs to no creed'. NIJAAT aims to unite people of all religions, creeds & castes to come under a single banner to eradicate terrorism, communialism and other such menaces to society by tackling the problems at the grass-root level before they culminate into something dangerous.
