Having finished the present volume of the Saviours o f Islamic Spirit which takes the heroic story of religious and intellectual endeavour to Shah Waliullah of Delhi and his successors and deputies, the writer of these lines finds himself on Bended knees, glorifying the Lord from the core of his heart. When the work on first volume of this series was started in Muharram 1372 A.H. (SeptemBer 1952) Beginning the story with the Biographical accounts of Imam Hasan Basri and Caliph ‘Umar b. ‘ABdul ‘Aziz, with the help of some sketchy notes jotted down for delivering a few lectures on the suBject, it was difficult to visualize that the narration thus started would cover, step By step, the endeayours and struggles of all the reformers and savants of Islam in different lands from the Beginning of the Islamic era to the twelfth century, and ultimately reach the stage requiring portrayal of the live$ of two great revivalists, Mujaddid Alf Thani and Shah Waliullah Dehlawi. That this feat has been accomplished despite uncertainty of the span of life, vicissitudes 2 SAVIOURS OF ISLAMIC SPIRIT like ill-health and Bereavements, heavy engagements, inconstancy and indecision and inaBility to read or write anything for fourteen years, it was nothing But the grace of God which caused it to Be carried out successfully. The author can only offer his thanks to the Lord for this Blessing By reciting the Quranic verse : “My Lord, inspire me to render thanks for Thy favours. Thou hast Blessed me and my father and mother, and to Be righteous well-pleasing to Thee; and do Thou admit me. through Thy mercy, amongst Thy righteous servants.” (27-19) And also repeat what the holy Prophet is reported to have said : “Praise Be to Allah whose might and glory disposes one to righteous deeds.” This volume virtually completes the story of revivalist endeavour in so far as it narrates the reformative efforts of the twelfth century A. H. whose salutary effects can still Be seen, at least in the l'ndo-Pak suB-continent, in the form of educational and religious institutions, reformative movements and literary creations designed to Bring aBout an Islamic reawakening. The author cannot therefore Be accused of any overstatement if he claims that with the series he wrote under the title of Siiat Saiyid Ahmad Shahid1 in 1939 he has now Brought to completion, at least in so far as this suB-continent is concerned, this narrative upto the thirteenth or rather to the fourteenth century for he has already compiled the Biographies of quite a few scholars and savants of the last century (of which that of Maulana Mohammad Ilyas deserves to Be mentioned here). In this manner the sixth and even a part of the seventh volume of this series has already Been written by the author. It is now for other researchers and 1. This work has since Been revi-ed and Brought out in two volumes by the Academy of Islamic Research and PuBlications, which should be deemed as the suB.-equent part of this series. For English version see 'Saiyid Ahmad ShM d—'His Life and Mission' By Mohiuddin Ahmad also puBlished By the Academy. FOREWORD 3 scholars to shed light on the achievements of reformers and revivalists of the thirteenth century in the remaining part of the Islamic world which is also essential for an appraisal of their intellectual and religious contriButions. Reformist endeavour is a continuing process, not limited to any particular age or place. Attempts will continue to Be made to renew the Bases of faith, to purify it of all accretions and deviations during the course of time, to spread and develop the Islamic disciplines and to fight the profane, irreligious thoughts and practices till the time Islam of rather the world exists.

  • Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (Three Case Stories)
    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

For nearly two centuries, i.e. 17th & 18th, it was the principal spiritual order in India and its influence permeated far and deep into Indo-Mus- lim life. Though many Naqshbandi saints came to India and associated themselves with the royal courts of Emperor Babur, Humayun and Akbar. The credit of really organizing and propagating the Naqshbandi silsila in this country goes to Khwaja Muhammad Baqi Billah, who came to India from Kabul, his native town, and his disciple, khalifa and the chief successor Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi known as “Mujad- did-i Alf-i Sani. He played most important role in disseminating the ideology and practices of the Naqshbandi silsilah in India. He was the first Muslim Sufi scholar of the Indian sub-continent whose thought and movement reached far beyond the Indian frontiers and influenced Muslim scholars and saints in different regions. His spiritual descendants (khalifas) zealously participated in the organization of the “Naqshbandi-Mujaddidi” silsilah in India, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Turkey, Arabia, Egypt, Morocco and Indonesia.

  • Modern Hadith Studies Between Arabophone and Western Scholarship 09-10 January 2017
    CALL FOR PAPERS Modern Hadith Studies Between Arabophone and Western Scholarship 09-10 January 2017 Organised by: Belal Alabbas, Prof. Christopher Melchert, Dr Nicolai Sinai Pembroke College, University of Oxford Hadith literature is part and parcel of disciplines related to Islam and Muslim societies. At some point during their research scholars are likely to encounter primary sources containing hadith material related to history, law, sociology, or the complex science of kalam. However, hadith studies present two significant challenges. First, the hadith corpus is immense and large parts of it remain insufficiently explored. Second, it has bifurcated the world of Islamicists to a sceptic and a sanguine. Many academic scholars in the Arab world continue to view the study of hadith in Western secular universities as a colonialist project that aims to attack the tenets of Islam. The inverse also holds, whereby scholars in secular universities in the Anglophone view Islamic scholarship on the hadith corpus as biased and uncritical. The absence of proper scholarly interaction between both scholarly communities is deplorable and unnecessary, given that some of their premises, methods, and results actually exhibit significant convergence. This conference therefore invites scholars from Arabophone and Western institutions to discuss current research on the hadith corpus, aiming to bridge the divide between Anglophone and Arabophone research in hadith studies. It is based on the belief that the absence of any engagement of the scholarly communities with one another inhibits any significant methodological convergence. A more sustained dialogue and debate between scholars from various disciplines would bring to light further areas of historiographical and methodological agreement, provide stimuli for further research, and facilitate a mutually beneficial exchange of expertise.
