The methodology of reform evolved by the apostles, of God is inspired by an unflinching faith and sincere conviction, a heart-left sentience and Editor: fervid enthusiasm: it is a living faith which encompasses the entire being of the believer. The reformist movements on the other hand, are simply Shariq Alavi an external, outward expression of these deep- seated emotions of faith. The discourses of the former on sequel and life-after-death are marked by their instinctive conviction, glowing ardor, Asstt. Editor: passionate eagerness, impressive earnestness and delicious ecstasy while the latter promote the Obaidur Rahman Nadwi idea as an expedient to social and moral reform of their people in order to build up a coherent, stable and ethical society. The difference between logical disputations and the secret springs of conviction, and the results achieved by the two, are too well known to be discussed here to explain the difference between the two.n [ 2 ] THE FRAGRANCE OF EAST, January, 2020 CONTENTS 1- Influence of Muslims on Indian - S.

The passing away of Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi Rahmat-ullah-alaih is a great loss not only to India but to all those countries where he was admired and revered as a great scholar. Maulana’s end came when he was reciting the verses of the holy Qur’an. As a scholar of Arabic he had a deep knowledge of the holy book. As a historian and theologist he knew the references and context of each and every ‘surah’. He was so deeply involved in following the Qur’anic instructions that he not only spent each and every moment living his own life in accordance with the spirit of Islam, but tried his best to make others also understand the message of Allah as interpreted and practiced by Prophet Mohammad (May peace be upon him). We feel no hesitation in saying that the Maulana was an ardent Muslim, an emblem to Islamic Culture and a rigid follower of Islam. Yet, he can never be accused of nurturing bias against anyone. This is because of his broad vision that derived from the Qur’anic dictate: “To thee your way, and to me mine”. Love for his country, its prosperity and well-being always remained central to his concerns. Through his movement of “Payame-lnsaniyat” (message of Humanity) he tried his best to bring people of different faiths on one platform. He worked hard to instill confidence, particularly amongst Indian Muslims, and encouraged brotherhood not only between different sects of Muslims but also with their non- Muslim fellow countrymen. Maulana’s doors always remained open for all. He believed in listening to others and making others listen to him. He never believed in living a secluded life. His mission had always been ‘Dawah’ and spreading love, peace and amity. [ 5 ] THE FRAGRANCE OF EAST, January, 2020 As an eminent scholar and widely travelled historian he was quite aware of the tremendous achievements that the world had made in the field of science and technology. The revolutionary developments in the electronic field were also considered by him as heavenly blessings to mankind. It was at his initiative that Darul uloom Nadwatul Ulema, introduced computer courses in its syllabus. Inter- net and e-mail facilities were also acquired. The late Maulana realised the importance of media in the modern world and emphasised that Nadwa too must establish and develop a well-equipped media centre. It was his constant encouragement that resulted in the creation of a Media Research Centre under the department of Journalism and Publicity in Nadwa. The English magazine “The Fragrance of the East” is in fact the outcome of a long cherished desire of the Maulana to create a forum for transmission of knowledge in Islamic affairs internationally. He was happy and delighted each time the latest issue of the “Fragrance” was presented to him. The editor had his last audience with Maulana on December 27, 1999 just before the ‘lftar’ of the Ramadhan fast. This was four days before his demise. His parting words were: “Isko jari rakhiye” [Carry on its (Fragrance) publication). May God give strength and enable us to fulfil his desire.

  • Traditions of Patriotism in Urdu Poetry: a Critical Study with Special Reference to the Poet of the East Allama Iqbal and His Poetry
    SCHOLARS WORLD -INTERNATIONAL REFEREED MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH EISSN 2320-3145, ISSN 2319-5789 TRADITIONS OF PATRIOTISM IN URDU POETRY: A CRITICAL STUDY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE POET OF THE EAST ALLAMA IQBAL AND HIS POETRY DR. MD YAHYA, Assistant Professor, Department of Urdu, Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi, Delhi-India ABSTRACT Urdu literature particularly poetry is very rich in traditions of patriotic and nationalistic sentiments, which took root and flourished along India’s Struggle for freedom. The later half of the 19 th century and early 20 th century saw an impetus in nationalistic and patriotic activities in the movement for freedom drawing people from all walks of life into its fold including men of letters. The strands of progressive movements in Indian literature specially poetry provided fillip to many modern ideas of patriotism, freedom, equality, equity and justice that formed the core of this movement’s edifice. Young and budding Indian poets enthusiastically took to expressing their nationalistic ideas in simple and lucid poems. Their writings clearly demonstrate how nationalist ideologies can instrumentalize literature towards its lofty ends, turning patriotic feelings and love for the motherland into a constructive force. Even so many Indian writers such as Iqbal were swept away by the nationalist frenzy. Allama Iqbal was a pioneering poet of Urdu and a fiery poet of patriotism. Iqbal was the founder of a new school of Urdu poetry, which blossomed, in the first quarter of the 20th century. Iqbal's poetry evolved from nationalism, and he remained a poet of patriotism till the end, although, switching his loyalties to different levels from being a zealous nationalist in early period of his career to pan-Islamism in later years.
