Description
About the Book:
Global geopolitics over the last twenty years is such that Deoband and the scholars affiliated to it have prominently appeared in the public conscious. What and who the scholars of Deoband are, what they believe in and what their positions on issues are seem complex, confusing journalists, academics and even common Muslims.
With lots of people fudging in dark rooms trying to understand Deoband, it is as Barbara Metcalf mentions that “the need to understand Deoband and other Islamic movements in their own terms…continues to be of great urgency in the plural, global world of today.” This translation of Qari Muhammad Tayyab’s book on this subject, Maslak Ulama-i-Deoband, is an attempt to meet this need.
About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Qari Muhammad Tayyab: Qari Muhammad Tayyab rahimahullah (d. 1983) occupied a uniquely authoritative position within the Deobandi tradition. The grandson of Mawlana Muhammad Qasim Nanawtawi (d. 1880), founder of Dar al-'Ulum Deoband, he was also the son of Mawlana Hafiz Muhammad Ahmad (d. 1930), who himself served as the institution's chancellor before him. Qari Muhammad Tayyab memorized the Qur'an in two years at the age of nine and graduated from Deoband as a fully qualified 'alim in 1918. He went on to serve as chancellor (muhtamim) of Dar al-'Ulum Deoband for more than half a century, earning the honorific Hakim al-Islam - Physician of Islam. Among his teachers was Mawlana Anwar Shah Kashmiri (d. 1933), one of the preeminent hadith masters of that era, from whom and from other prominent scholars he received ijazah in hadith transmission. His book on the methodology of Deoband draws on this lifetime of intimate experience at the center of one of the most influential Islamic educational institutions of the modern period.
