The IAHET was established in September 2005 to honour the memory of the late Imam Abdullah Haron who was killed in police detention on 27 September 1969.

Imam Haron is best remembered and revered for his prominent role in opposing prejudice and racism as manifested by his unwavering opposition to the Apartheid regime. It was this committed activism which saw him being detained by the Apartheid police on 28 May 1969. He died in police detention 123 days later on 27 September at the age of 45.

The IAHET seeks to promote the vision of Imam Haron of empowering marginalised groups and individuals through education.
