History: Indian Muslims residing in
Kuwait were feeling for a long time to have a representation to
discuss their socio economical problems and to feel togetherness
in upholding the values of Islamic teaching. In 1994 a group of
leading Indian Muslims living in Kuwait met and worked together
to frame the common objective. An all India body representing
Muslims from all the states of India who were leaving in Kuwait
to bring them under the banner of an association which was later
named as Indian Muslim Welfare Association.
First EC was formed in 1995 with following members under the
president-ship of Dr. Masood Athar.
After every two years elections were held. Initially the EC comprised of 11
members which were later extended to 15.
