The Council's founding and purpose, as set out in the preamble to its constitution:

The God-given land of Pakistan is a blessing born of the friends of God and the noble scholars of this soil. Its founding was made possible by the long struggle and immense sacrifices of Hakim-ul-Ummat and Musawwir-e-Pakistan Allama Dr Muhammad Iqbal, the founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and their great and devoted companions.

Wherever the Muslims of the subcontinent united in the Pakistan Movement under the resolute leadership of the Quaid-e-Azam, the efforts of the great Mashaikh and Ulema in that struggle can never be forgotten.

From the founding of Pakistan through its consolidation and defence, the Mashaikh, the Ulema, people of every faith and school of thought, and the whole nation stood together in every difficult hour as a wall of lead for the progress, security, and survival of this homeland.

For the past thirty years the Muttahida Ulema Mashaikh Council of Pakistan has represented that same creed and ideology in the field of practical action, and regards it as its destination — a cause for which the Council's founding chairman, Malik Safdar Ali Awan, and his companions have raised this banner with great courage.

The Muttahida Ulema Mashaikh Council of Pakistan was registered with the Election Commission of Pakistan as a political and religious party on 22 October 2014.

Our mission is to strengthen Pakistan on its ideological and intellectual front, to bring about the practical implementation of Nizam-e-Mustafa, and to build an Islamic welfare society in which every citizen has equal access to social justice, human rights, education, health, and employment and enterprise. Making the geographical and ideological frontiers of our homeland impregnable, in complete harmony with the national institutions responsible for its security and defence, is likewise a fundamental part of our agenda.
