Memories (Episode 15)<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

At this point, it was probably necessary to provide a brief introduction to the Jam\u012b\u02bfat Ulama-e-Islam, whose tours I have previously mentioned, and also to answer a question that often arises in most people\u2019s minds: Is the present Jam\u012b\u02bfat Ulama-e-Islam the same one, or is it a different one? However, at this moment, I am writing about memories from my childhood and adolescence, so it does not seem appropriate to delve into that story here. Insh\u0101 Allah<\/em>, its mention will come at its proper place.<\/p>\n

<\/a>End of the Academic Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to my travels to Lahore, Deoband, and the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, I remained absent from D\u0101r al-\u02bfUl\u016bm for over two months. As a result, my studies suffered significantly. Although I continued studying at J\u0101mi\u02bfa Ashrafiya and D\u0101r al-\u02bfUl\u016bm Deoband for a period, it is evident that this could not serve as a substitute for a structured curriculum. Upon my return, there were barely three months left before the annual exams, so I had to put in considerable effort to make up for the lost time. My results for this year are recorded in the annual report of D\u0101r al-\u02bfUl\u016bm for Ramadan 1374 AH to Sha\u02bfban 1375 AH, corresponding to May 1955 to April 1956, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It is noted in my diary that Mufti Sabir Ali conducted our exam on Kanz al-Daq\u0101iq; <\/em>Hadhrat Mawlana Sahban Mahmud conducted the exams on Al-Bal\u0101ghah Al-W\u0101\u1e0dihah<\/em> and Calligraphy; the exam on the translation of the Noble Qur\u2019an was conducted by Mawlana Muhammad Mat\u012bn Khat\u012bb; Mawlana Ziyarat Gul (who later changed his name to Abdul Haq at our respected father\u2019s recommendation) conducted our exam on Shar\u1e25 J\u0101m\u012b<\/em>. The exam on Maq\u0101m\u0101t<\/em> \u1e24ar\u012br\u012b<\/em> consisted of a written paper. Mawlana Bad\u012b al-Zaman conducted our exam on Shar\u1e25 Tahdh\u012bb<\/em>, Mufti Wali Hasan on Qutb\u012b<\/em>, while Mawlana Fadhl Muhammad conducted our exam on Us\u016bl al-Sh\u0101sh\u012b<\/em>. May Allah Most High have mercy on them all.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Practice Exercises in Tajwid<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was troubled by a sense of inadequacy because I had not completed a formal reading of the Noble Qur\u2019an with a teacher. After reading the first seven ajz\u0101<\/em> with my teacher in childhood, I had completed the rest by reading on my own. As a result, there were quite a few shortcomings in my pronunciation. To remedy this, I practiced tajw\u012bd<\/em> under several qurr\u0101<\/em> during my study at D\u0101r al-\u02bfUl\u016bm. The first among them was the late Q\u0101ri Muhammad Ilyas, who was the son of Hadhrat Q\u0101ri Muhammad Yusuf (may Allah have mercy on him) \u2014 a classmate of our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) \u2014 and the brother-in-law of our brother, respected Muhammad Ra\u1e0di. He would conduct practice sessions in Qir\u0101\u2019ah<\/em> at D\u0101r al-\u02bfUl\u016bm. I studied Jam\u0101l al-Qur\u2019an under him and began introductory lessons in the recitation of Surah Yusuf. Later, when Hadhrat Q\u0101ri Abdul Wahhab Makki (may Allah have mercy on him) was assigned this duty in D\u0101r al-\u02bfUlum, I continued practicing under him and benefited from him. I still remember this point from his lessons: according to one riwayah<\/em> in the Qira\u2019ah<\/em> of Hafs, ishmam<\/em> occurs only once in the entire Qur\u2019an, in the \u201cnun<\/em>\u201d of the verse \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0627 \u062a\u064e\u0623\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627 in Surah Yusuf. In reciting this \u201cnun<\/em>\u201d, the lips are shaped as they would be for a \u1e0dammah<\/em>, but the \u1e0dammah<\/em> itself is not actually pronounced.<\/p>\n

After him was Hadhrat Q\u0101ri Hamid Hussein (may Allah have mercy on him), who was renowned in those days for his melodious recitation. He was an elder of very delicate temperament and refined taste. If there was even a slight crease on his bed sheet, he could not fall asleep. His room looked like that of a Nawab of Oudh. He never married, but he kept a pet cat, which was his sole source of home entertainment. He would play with it like children. When it died, he was seen crying with tears in his eyes. He was an expert in several styles of Qur\u2019anic recitation, and his recitation would captivate listeners. I sought to benefit from him as well, but as delicate as his temperament was, he was equally quick to take offense and become stern. I practiced recitation with him for a day or two, but then he became displeased at some impropriety of mine and reprimanded me. After that, I could not muster the courage to go to him and so missed out on further benefiting from him. Besides him, during my stay in Lahore, I would sometimes visit Hadhrat Q\u0101ri Abdul Malik (may Allah have mercy on him). He had me practice the last ruk\u016b\u02bf<\/em> of Surah<\/em> \u1e24ashr<\/em>, and I still recall that while reciting the sentence “<\/strong>\u0648\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0632\u0650\u064a\u0632\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0643\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064f“<\/strong>, when I reached the letter l\u0101m<\/em> in \u201c\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0632\u0650\u064a\u0632\u201d, I would inadvertently create a qalqalah<\/em>. Hadhrat Q\u0101ri Sahib (may Allah have mercy on him) corrected me several times, but I could not break the habit. Eventually, Hadhrat taught me a technique: when pronouncing the letter \u201cl\u0101m<\/em>\u201d, pronounce the letter \u201c\u02bfayn<\/em>\u201d at the same time. This will prevent the qalqalah<\/em> on the \u201cl\u0101m<\/em>\u201d. In short, with that single ruku\u02bf<\/em>, he taught me what might otherwise be difficult to learn even in months. May Allah Most High have boundless mercy on him.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Last Year at Dar al-\u02bfUlum Nanak Warah<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Shawwal 1375 AH onward, it was our final year at Dar al-\u02bfUlum Nanak Warah. In it, we were to study texts such as Hidayah<\/em> Awwalayn<\/em>, Nur al-Anwar<\/em>, Mukhta\u1e63ar al-Ma\u02bfani<\/em>, and others, and this was the first time none of our lessons were under Hadhrat Mawlana Sahban Mahmud (may Allah have mercy on him). Hidayah <\/em>was assigned to Hadhrat Mawlana Mufti Wali Hasan. We began Nur al-Anwar<\/em> with Hadhrat Mawlana Qari Ri\u02bfayatullah (may Allah have mercy on him), who was an immensely popular teacher, and his refined manner of speech would turn the lessons into a field of saffron [i.e., full of joy and laughter]. Later, however, he was given a higher-level text to teach, so Nur al-Anwar<\/em> was transferred to Hadhrat Mawlana Sahban Mahmud (may Allah have mercy on him). Thus, once again, I had the joy of spending at least an hour with our beloved teacher.<\/p>\n

Mukhta\u1e63ar al-Ma\u02bfani<\/em>, Sullam al-\u02bfUlum<\/em>, and Diwan<\/em> Mutanabbi<\/em> were assigned to Hadhrat Mawlana Fadhl Muhammad Swati (may Allah have mercy on him), who was a highly refined and experienced teacher. Previously, we had the opportunity to study a portion of Gulistan<\/em> with him in the Bab al-Islam Mosque, and a deep awe of his personality settled in our hearts. During these lessons, however, the kindness and affection he showed were extraordinary, and it is impossible for us to repay him for his favours. His teaching style was also very captivating. It so happened that, due to my crooked disposition, I never developed a liking for Mukhta\u1e63ar al-Ma\u02bfani<\/em>, because the intricate logical debates in rhetoric were burdensome to me. This was especially true after the previous year\u2019s study of Al-Bal\u0101ghah al-W\u0101\u1e0di\u1e25ah<\/em> with Hadhrat Mawlana Sahban Mahmud (may Allah have mercy on him), which we pursued so enthusiastically \u2014 learning how to practically apply the rules of rhetoric in literary passages and poetry at the same time \u2014 that after such a delightful experience, the logical hair-splitting in Mukhta\u1e63ar al-Ma\u02bfani<\/em> did not appeal to me. Similarly, after learning the necessary terminologies of mantiq<\/em> (logic), I did not have much inclination for its detailed debates, so I did not find much zeal for studying Sullam al-\u02bfUlum<\/em>. On the other hand, we read Diwan<\/em> Mutanabbi<\/em> with great zest and eagerness, and Hadhrat (may Allah have mercy on him) also taught it with great diligence. I even memorized many of its verses. Yet the greatest enjoyment came from studying Hidayah <\/em>and N\u016br al-Anwar<\/em>. During the lessons of Hidayah<\/em>, Hadhrat Mawlana Mufti Wali Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) would not only explain rare points of fiqh[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/em>and us\u016bl al-fiqh[2]<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, but would also share impactful advice for our general upbringing (tarbiyah) and intellectual training. Moreover, he would give us guidelines to broaden our overall reading. I recall that upon noticing my enthusiasm for writing in Arabic, one day he said to me: \u201cThere is a book in the library named Fiqh al-Lughah<\/em>; you should read it\u201d. This was the \u201cFiqh al-Lughah<\/em>\u201d of Abu Mansur Tha\u02bfalibi, which I found very interesting. It remained part of my readings until my own teaching days, and it helped greatly in diversifying my use of language and expression.<\/p>\n

It is an age-old tradition in Islamic seminaries that after studying a lesson with the teacher, students form a group to revise it. They then select one of their capable classmates to repeat the lesson and explain it to them. In the environment of our Islamic seminaries, this process is referred to as \u201ctakrar<\/em>\u201d. The student leading the takrar<\/em> strives to closely mimic the teacher\u2019s lecture and present it to the group. For this, it is necessary, on the one hand, that he thoroughly understands the lesson himself, and on the other hand, since takrar<\/em> is itself a form of teaching, it is also essential that he possesses the ability to explain concepts clearly. When there are multiple students in the class with this ability, they take turns conducting takrar<\/em>. Experience has shown that this method of takrar<\/em> is extremely beneficial for all students – and particularly for those conducting the takrar<\/em>, as they simultaneously gain valuable teaching practice.<\/p>\n

In my class, there was no one of my age; everyone was older than me. As a result, whenever a takrar<\/em> group was formed, the responsibility of conducting it would always fall upon my older classmates, while I would mostly participate as a listener. Often, the takrar<\/em> was conducted by my elder brother, Hadhrat Mawlana Mufti Muhammad Rafi\u02bf Usmani (may Allah have mercy on him). Allah the Exalted had bestowed him with both strong scholarly aptitude and great eloquence, so from the beginning, his takrar<\/em> was well-liked among the students. My speech lacked fluency, and I would often speak haltingly . Naturally, this caused some discomfort among my peers. As a result, I was rarely given the opportunity to lead takrar<\/em> – and, in turn, I would also miss out on the chance to work on and overcome this weakness of mine.<\/p>\n

I was aware of this weakness of mine and was also concerned about overcoming it. A divine arrangement for this took place in the form of a student from Quetta. He was much older than me, and with his Balochistani turban, he appeared twice my size in stature. He enrolled in the first year of Arabic studies at Dar al-\u02bfUl\u016bm in the middle of the academic year. To make up for his missed lessons, he began studying with different classmates. I offered to teach him \u201c\u02bfArbi Ka Mu\u02bfallim<\/em>\u201d. Perhaps he would not have been too keen to study under a thin, childish student who was half his age, but because of the memorized Arabic speeches that I would deliver in various gatherings at Dar al-\u02bfUlum, a certain impression of my Arabic proficiency had formed among the students despite my young age. Because of this, he agreed to study with me, and I began teaching him \u201c\u02bfArb\u012b K\u0101 Mu\u02bfallim<\/em>\u201d in the afternoons, after the fourth period.<\/p>\n

It was not the bearded \u201cstudent\u201d who eagerly awaited the appointed time, but rather the twelve-year-old \u201cteacher\u201d. As soon as the fourth period ended, I would promptly arrive at the designated place and wait for him. However, he had a rather nonchalant nature. He would arrive at his leisure, while every passing minute of waiting felt unbearably long to me. Sometimes, he would be absent without informing me, leaving me in a dilemma – if I went searching for him, it seemed to go against the dignity of a \u201cteacher\u201d, but if I did not, how could I let go of the pleasure of teaching? Eventually, my eagerness to teach would overcome my \u201cteacherly\u201d dignity, and I would wander through different classrooms searching for him. When the time elapsed, I would wait for the next day. And when he did show up the next day, it was with his usual air of nonchalance – I did not even have the courage to ask him why he had been absent, and he would simply open the book as though nothing had happened. At times, I would assign him written exercises to translate from Urdu into Arabic. Sometimes he would complete them, and sometimes he would not. I was not in a position to question him about it, fearing that if I did, he might stop coming altogether, leaving me with nothing. What I needed from him was the opportunity to deliver the lesson to him, so that I could train my tongue to speak fluently. Alhamdulillah! Over time, I gradually became accustomed to expressing my thoughts more fluently. He patiently endured me, and I, in turn, tolerated his indifference. By the time we completed the first part of \u201c\u02bfArabi Ka Mu\u02bfallim<\/em>\u201d, a certain level of confidence had developed in my speech. Thus, in truth, he was my teacher who taught me how to teach and speak, for it was through him that I gained training in my manner of speech. I have no idea where he is now. I cannot even recall his name with certainty (I seem to remember it might have been Akhtar Muhammad). But wherever he may be, may Allah the Exalted shower His mercy and blessings on him, for he has done me a great favour.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, after undergoing this training course, my classmates also became willing to have me conduct the takrar<\/em>. Due to Bhai Sahib\u2019s eloquence, it was difficult for his group to tolerate my takrar<\/em>, so I found some companions who were willing to put up with my half-baked speech. In this way, gradually, I also began getting more opportunities to conduct takrar<\/em>, and as a result, my speech improved further.<\/p>\n

Once, an institute in Nazimabad, Karachi, organized a speech competition on the theme of Sirat al-Nabi<\/em> \ufdfa (the life of the Prophet \ufdfa) for students from various madaris<\/em> (Islamic seminaries) and schools. The topic of the speech was: \u201cThe Noble Messenger \ufdfa was the Greatest Lawmaker\u201d. Hadhrat Mufti Wali Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) instructed us to participate. Before this, I had only delivered memorized Arabic speeches lasting a few minutes at Dar al-\u02bfUlum\u2019s internal gatherings, and I had never spoken at an external event, so I was somewhat nervous. However, Hadhrat bolstered my courage, provided some key points about the topic, and even dictated a few of them to me. I delivered my speech based on those points. I was thirteen years old at the time. Now, either it was the miracle of Hadhrat Mufti Wali Hasan\u2019s (may Allah have mercy on him) points, or the judges took pity on my young age, that I was awarded first place in the competition. As a prize, I received an Urdu translation of Imam Ghazali\u2019s (may Allah have mercy on him) \u201cAl-Murshid al-Am\u012bn<\/em>\u201d. This was my first speech in a public gathering.<\/p>\n

At that time, Dar al-\u02bfUlum Karachi was blessed with a bouquet of greatly learned and erudite teachers. In addition to the teachers I have mentioned above, Hadhrat Mawlana Muntakhab al-Haq, Hadhrat Mawlana Mazhar Baqa, Hadhrat Mawlana \u02bfUbayd al-Haq of Sylhet, Hadhrat Mawlana Tasin, Hadhrat Mawlana Muhammad Mat\u012bn Khatib, Hadhrat Mawlana Mufti Sabir (may Allah have mercy on them all) were all spreading the benefits of their teachings. I was also eager to spend time in the service of those teachers under whom I was not formally studying any book. Therefore, I would occasionally visit them, and due to my young age, they would show me great kindness and provide me with guidance from their teaching experiences.<\/p>\n

Our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) possessed such a personality that whenever scholars or dignitaries from across Pakistan would visit Karachi, they would make it a point to meet him. Our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) would invite them to Dar al-\u02bfUlum and request them to offer advice to the students. It was during this time that I had the opportunity to see Hadhrat Mawlana Mufti Muhammad Hasan, Hadhrat Mawlana Muhammad Idris Kandhlawi, Hadhrat Mawlana Khayr Muhammad, Hadhrat Mawlana Ahmad Ali Lahori, and Hadhrat Mawlana \u02bfAtaullah Shah Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on them all). I remember that Hadhrat Mawlana \u02bfAtaullah Shah Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) was dressed in brick-red clothing, and when someone introduced me to him as the youngest son of Hadhrat Mufti Sahib (may Allah have mercy on him), he picked me up and sat me in his lap.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The American and British Invasion of the Suez Canal<\/strong><\/p>\n

That same year, the most harrowing news for the Islamic world was that on 29 October 1956, Israel attacked the Sinai Peninsula. Two days later, Britain and France launched a joint assault on the Suez Canal. This event had a profound impact on our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him), who wished that the entire Islamic world would unite in defense of Egypt. Consequently, he wrote letters to various rulers and eminent figures across the Islamic world. At the same time, he endeavored to organize a medical delegation to assist the Muslims, and to express solidarity with the Muslims against this attack in any way possible.<\/p>\n

In this context, our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) wished to arrange for military training at Dar al-\u02bfUlum so that, if necessary, trained volunteers could be sent to Egypt. When this could not be immediately implemented, our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) contacted the Civil Defense Department and convinced them to send their instructors to Dar al-\u02bfUlum to train the students in civil defense. Consequently, a daily civil defense training program began after the \u02bfAsr prayer. Initially, Mr. Badr al-Hasan Farooqi began visiting from 7th<\/sup> November 1956, corresponding to 3rd<\/sup> Rabi\u02bf al-Thani 1376 AH, and began teaching civil defense and first aid. We students participated in the course with great enthusiasm. I was in the thirteenth year of my life, and I remember that we were under the misconception that this course would eventually turn into a training for Jihad. We would thus imagine ourselves on the battlefield in Egypt and, in our adolescent minds, envision scenes of direct confrontations with Israeli and British soldiers. The war eventually ended after Russia\u2019s intervention, and the territories occupied by Israel were returned. Nonetheless, we continued participating in the course with the same fervour, harbouring the hope that, if nothing else, we might still be sent to provide assistance to the wounded.<\/p>\n

I would document all of Mr. Farooqi\u2019s lectures in a notebook and, to the best of my ability, I also participated in the practical exercises he conducted. Later, I handed this notebook to Mr. Farooqi for review. While I do not know whether he reviewed it or not, he returned it a few days later with the following note:<\/p>\n

\u201cThough youngest of all the trainees yet paced with others throughout the training. Intelligent and keen student. Proved himself to be a willing worker. Remained anxious to learn more and more from his elders. Recommended for higher training.<\/p>\n

BH Farooqi, Gen Instructor.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time he wrote this note, I did not know sufficient English to understand its meaning. Therefore, I had it translated by my elder brother, Mawlana Muhammad Wali R\u0101zi, and had him write the translation beneath it, which was as follows:<\/p>\n

“\u0627\u06af\u0631\u0686\u06c1 \u0637\u0644\u0628\u06c1 \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0633\u0628 \u0633\u06d2 \u0632\u06cc\u0627\u062f\u06c1 \u06a9\u0645\u0633\u0646 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba\u060c \u0644\u06cc\u06a9\u0646 \u062a\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0637\u0644\u0628\u06c1 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0633\u0627\u062a\u06be \u067e\u0648\u0631\u06cc \u0679\u0631\u06cc\u0646\u0646\u06af \u06a9\u06d2 \u062f\u0631\u0645\u06cc\u0627\u0646 \u0633\u0627\u062a\u06be \u0633\u0627\u062a\u06be \u0631\u06c1\u06d2\u060c \u0630\u06c1\u06cc\u0646 \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u0634\u0648\u0642\u06cc\u0646 \u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0639\u0644\u0645 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba\u060c \u062e\u0648\u062f \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0645\u06c1\u0627\u0631\u062a \u067e\u06cc\u062f\u0627 \u06a9\u0631\u0646\u06d2 \u06a9\u0627 \u0634\u0648\u0642 \u06c1\u06d2\u060c \u0627\u067e\u0646\u06d2 \u0628\u0691\u0648\u06ba \u0633\u06d2 \u0633\u06cc\u06a9\u06be\u0646\u06d2 \u06a9\u06d2 \u06c1\u0645\u06cc\u0634\u06c1 \u0645\u0634\u062a\u0627\u0642\u06d4 \u0627\u0639\u0644\u06cc\u0670 \u0679\u0631\u06cc\u0646\u0646\u06af \u06a9\u06d2 \u0644\u0626\u06d2 \u0628\u06be\u06cc\u062c\u0627 \u062c\u0627\u06d3\u06d4”<\/span>“<\/p>\n

Though the war had ended, this training had instilled in us, at least in terms of intention, such a passion for Jihad that we later requested our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) to arrange formal military training at Dar al-\u02bfUlum. After we moved to the new building of Dar al-\u02bfUlum, Hadhrat arranged for whatever was legally possible at that time, a mention of which may appear later.<\/p>\n
