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.

    SHAH WALIULLAH'S CONTRIBUTION TO HADITH LITERATURE A CRITICAL STUDY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF iortor of f l|tloHopl|i| IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY MUHAMMAD MOSLEH UDDIN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. ABDUL ALI D.LItt. CHAIRMAN. DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2003 ABSTRACT The present work seeks lo investigate and study critically the contribution of Shah Waliuliah Muhaddith Dihiawi to Hadith literature. Shah WaJiuilah bin Abdur Rahim ai-'Umarial-Dihlawi(lil4H,-1176H./i703-1762) was lived in the eighteenth century C.E., an age of down fall of Muslim power, political dissetllement, social degeneration and educational backward- ness and indigence. Shah Waliuliah Dihiawi was an unparalleled Islamic scholar, thinker and reformer in Indian sub-continent. He spent the whole of his life in the service of religion and education and worked for the interest of Muslim-society. His sole anxiety all the time had been to see the Muslims powerful, strong and ruling based upon the Islamic system. He tried all his best to restore the Muslims' power and reform the society and revive the pure religion and establish an accurate and complete Islamic educational system.' Shah Waiiuiiah completed his education under his father Shaikh Abdur Rahim (d.li31H./1718) and other scholars in India and served as the teacher in Rahimiyah Madrasah which was established by his father in Delhi for twelve years. During this long teaching period he studied deep and widely and taught the students different religious and rational subjects, so he got the opportunity to reflect over a variety of issues.

  • Development of Sufism in Bengal
    DEVELOPMENT OF SUFISM IN BENGAL ABSTRACT Thesis Submitted for the degree of JBottor of $I)tlo£iopIi|> IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY MUHAMMAD ISMAIL Under the supervision of Mr. AZOUDDIN KHAN READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1989 1 The present work seeks to investigate the Development of Sufism in Bengal from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. Mo serious attempt has so far been Tiade to reconstruct the history of Sufism in i^-'ngal. The attention of the most of the scholars has centred- round the political history of Bengal,- making occasior. 1 references to its Saints but their accounts are uncritical and generally based upon the later hagiological material. In the present work an attempt has been made to make a fairly extensive and critical use of all sources available. Throughout the work we have attempted to justify by reasonable argument our reliance on a parti- cula'r source, wherever there has been a conflict of evidence or a contradiction. This aspect of the development of Sufism in Bengal is based on brief references found in the chronicles of Northern India and on the data collected from a study of inscriptions, coins and other archae^ogical evidence.. There is, however, sufficient materials in these chronicles as well as in the contemporary literature both Persian and Bengali available, with the help of which Develoo- nent of Sufisn in ^engal can be reconatructecl. In fact the Islaiaic proslelytization of India did not begin with coercion and blloashed; the first conversion were made by its Saints. Bengal's contact with the wiUslims, in the field of trade, colonization, and missionary work, began much earlier than its conquest in the thirteenth century.
