At its inaugural session, Jamaat Ali Shah was elected its president and the convener of the meeting, vice president Mohammad Abdul Ghafoor Hazarvi as Naib Ameer and Naeem-ud-Deen Muradabadi as its Nazim-e-AIa (General Secretary)

The main aim of AISC was to unite the Sunni majority of India on one platform and to work for their social, educational and political upliftment among others.
