From its humble beginnings at University of Engineering & Technology Lahore it also has established units in localities where students exist in considerable numbers.

ISO Pakistan primarily focuses on Islamic led guidance and religious upbringing of students. As an established organization it has a set of principles and a written constitution to which student members must abide by.

ISO Pakistan regulates itself through an executive council (Majlis Amla) which also acts as its legislative council. At the divisional level the Organization implements its agenda through its Divisions approximately corresponding to the Divisional structure of Pakistan. Here it is regulated by a general body council (Majlis Amoomi).

However the bulk of the organization is represented by its units which comprise 10 or more students in a locality. Also students of matriculation and below are represented by its Muhibeen units.

The students engage in educational upbringing and development through a set of local and regional activities which are managed and self funded through the organizations large local donor base. Often students engage in self preparatory learning, sports events and organizing mehfil, majlis, dua programs and discussions on youth affairs and current regional and international affairs.

The organization in its motto strives to develop its base as law abiding Pakistani students who will defend the country’s core ideological base and its geographical boundaries.^[2]
