A Brief Biographical Sketch of Isl\u0101h\u012b<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isl\u0101h\u012b was born in 1904 at Bamh\u016br, a small village in Azamgarh (U.P.), India. He received his early education in two local schools of the village. His father Hafiz Muhammad Murtaza was a small landlord of the area. Isl\u0101h\u012b was admitted to Madrasah \u201cAl-Islah\u201d in 1915 in grade three. This Madrasah is located in Sar\u0101i-M\u012br a small village near Bamhore. It was while addressing the convocation ceremony of the first batch of the Madrasah that he first came in the notice of the great Ham\u012bd Udd\u012bn Far\u0101h\u012b, the person who was destined to become his mentor and guide.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\u00a0The teacher which influenced him the most during his student life at the Madrasah was Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Abdu\u2019l Rahm\u0101n Nigr\u0101m\u012b, himself a versatile genius. Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Nigr\u0101m\u012b\u2019s attention helped him in developing a profound inclination towards Arabic literature. After graduating from the Madrasah in 1922, he entered the field of journalism. For a while he edited a newspaper \u201cMad\u012bnah\u201d at Bijnawr and also remained associated with \u201cSach\u201d, a newspaper taken out by Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Abdu\u2019l M\u0101jid Dary\u0101b\u0101d\u012b.<\/p>\n

It was sometime in 1925 when Far\u0101h\u012b offered Isl\u0101h\u012b to come and study the Qur\u2019\u0101n with him. Isl\u0101h\u012b abandoned his journalistic career with no hesitation at all to benefit from this glorious opportunity. He knew he had stumbled upon the `famous tide\u2019: — \u2018the tide in the affairs of men which when taken at the flood leads on to good fortune\u2019. For the next five years till Far\u0101h\u012b\u2019s death in 1930, he remained with him like his shadow. It was in this forming period of his life in which he developed a deep understanding of the Qur\u2019\u0101n and learnt from Far\u0101h\u012b the principles of direct deliberation on the Book of Allah. During this time, he also taught the Qur\u2019\u0101n and Arabic literature at the Madrasah.<\/p>\n

After Far\u0101h\u012b\u2019s death, Isl\u0101h\u012b studied Had\u012bth from a celebrated scholar of this discipline, Abdu\u2019l Rahm\u0101n Muhaddith Mub\u0101rakpur\u012b. In 1936, he founded the \u201cD\u0101ira-i-Ham\u012bd\u012byyah\u201d, a small institute to disseminate the Qur\u2019\u0101nic thought of Far\u0101h\u012b. Under the auspices of this institute, he brought out a monthly journal \u201cAl-Islah\u201d in which he translated many portions of Far\u0101h\u012b\u2019s treatises written in Arabic. The journal was published till 1939, after which it was discontinued.<\/p>\n

Isl\u0101h\u012b was among the founder members of the \u201cJam\u0101`at-i-Isl\u0101m\u012b\u201d, a religious party founded by the eminent Islamic scholar Mawd\u016bd\u012b in 1941. During his seventeen year stay in the Jam\u0101`at, he represented the intellectual element and remained a member of the central governing body (Majlis-i-Sh\u016br\u0101). During this period, he did the groundwork needed to write a commentary of the Qur\u2019\u0101n \u2013 an objective which he had set before him early in life. In 1958, he abandoned the Jam\u0101`at, after serious differences arose between him and Mawd\u016bd\u012b on the nature of the constitution of the Jam\u0101`at.<\/p>\n

After leaving the Jam\u0101`at, he finally got the chance to fulfil his cherished goal of writing a commentary of the Qur\u2019\u0101n. He also launched a monthly journal \u201cM\u012bth\u0101q\u201d in which portions of this commentary, \u201cTadabbur-i-Qur\u2019\u0101n\u201d were published. In 1961, he established a small study circle \u201cHalqa-i-Tadabbur-i-Qur\u2019\u0101n\u201d for college students to whom he taught Arabic language and literature, the Holy Qur\u2019\u0101n and \u201cSahih Muslim\u201d. In 1965, a tragic incident brought an end to the journal as well as to the study circle: Isl\u0101h\u012b\u2019s eldest son Abu Saleh died in a plane . However, work on the commentary continued. In 1970-71, Isl\u0101h\u012b fell severely ill and had to discontinue all his intellectual pursuits. Subsequently, he recovered quite miraculously. In 1972, he shifted to a countryside village near Sheikhupura, where he continued to work on the commentary till 1979, when he shifted back to Lahore. It was on the 29th of Ramad\u0101n 1400\/ 12th August 1980 when the great day arrived \u2013 the day when a monumental effort reached its culmination. The \u201cTadabbur-i-Qur\u2019\u0101n\u201d had taken twenty-two long years to complete.<\/p>\n

In 1981 Isl\u0101h\u012b founded the \u201cId\u0101ra-i-Tadabbur-i- Qur\u2019\u0101n-o-Had\u012bth\u201d, which remained until his death (15th December 1997) the centre of all his intellectual activities. A quarterly journal \u201cTadabbur\u201d was taken out in 1981 as its organ. He gave weekly lectures on the text of the Qur\u2019\u0101n. Later, he took up deep study on the principles of Had\u012bth and began teaching the \u201cMu`att\u0101\u201d of Im\u0101m M\u0101lik in weekly sittings to a close circle of students and associates. After completing \u201cMu\u2019att\u0101\u201d, he also taught some portions of Im\u0101m Bukh\u0101ri\u2019s \u201cSah\u012bh\u201d. Many of these lectures have been transcribed and published in the \u201cTadabbur\u201d.<\/p>\n

Besides writing the \u201cTadabbur-i-Qur\u2019\u0101n\u201d, Isl\u0101h\u012b has written a number of articles and authored a number of books on various topics of Islam. They include:<\/p>\n
