Later, as the number of students increased, the hall of the northern classroom building was used as a prayer space (<em>musalla<\/em>). The foundation stone for the official mosque was laid on 15 Sha\u02bfban 1377 AH (7 March 1958) during the annual gathering. Its construction continued gradually, until the task of laying its roof was scheduled for 6 Rabi al-Thani 1378 AH. Our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) said that instead of getting this done by hired labourers, it should be carried out by Dar al-\u02bfUlum personnel themselves. Accordingly, on that day, all the teachers, students, and administrative staff of Dar al-\u02bfUlum remained busy the entire day in laying the roof. We, too, Alhamdulillah, attained this blessing. Congregational prayers took place within this mosque for many years. After the passing away of our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him), even this mosque became cramped for space, whereafter a major expansion plan was initiated under the supervision of my elder brother, Hadhrat Mawlana Mufti Muhammad Rafi\u02bf Usmani (may Allah grant him a long life), which, Alhamdulillah, has now been completed. The previous mosque was entirely incorporated into this new one.<\/p>\n<p>Various events were organized by the Dar al-\u02bfUlum to provide students with opportunities to practice and enhance their speaking and writing skills. That year, in Jamadi al-Thani 1378 AH, corresponding to December 1958, a writing competition was held in which three questions related to acquiring knowledge were given. I wrote an article on the topic \u201cIslam\u2019s Approach to Knowledge\u201d which was deemed worthy of first place.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, our academic year thus concluded successfully with the grace and favour of Allah Most High, and Alhamdulillah the results of the annual examinations were also good. But I still remember the pain of an incident from those exams. By the grace of Allah, we had prepared well for those exams and hoped that <em>Insha Allah<\/em> we would secure good marks. And this did happen in most subjects. However, the paper for <em>Shar\u1e25 Nukhbat al-Fikr<\/em> was set by Hadhrat Mawlana Akbar Ali (may Allah have mercy on him), who was known for setting tough exams and awarding marks very stringently. I was thus apprehensive about this exam. When the paper came, one question completely baffled me. I still remember that question to this day. It contained the following excerpt from <em>Shar\u1e25 Nukhbat al-Fikr<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;\u0641\u0625\u0646 \u0642\u064a\u0644: \u0625\u0646\u0645\u0627 \u0627\u062a\u0641\u0642\u0648\u0627 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0648\u062c\u0648\u0628\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0644\u0650 \u0628\u0647 \u0644\u0627 \u0639\u0644\u064a \u0635\u062d\u062a\u0647\u060c \u0645\u0646\u0639\u0646\u0627\u0647&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Beneath this excerpt, the question was:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cExplain this passage and provide the \u201c\u0633\u0646\u062f \u0645\u0646\u0639\u201d (<em>sanad man\u02bf<\/em>)\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Since only this portion of the passage was quoted, due to my lack of understanding, I was unable to comprehend its meaning without the context. I could not determine to what the pronoun in &#8220;\u0648\u062c\u0648\u0628\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0644\u0650 \u0628\u0647&#8221; referred, nor could I grasp the meaning of \u201c\u0645\u0646\u0639\u201d, let alone &#8220;\u0633\u0646\u062f \u0645\u0646\u0639&#8221;. Consequently, I wrote an incoherent and nonsensical answer. As a result, Hadhrat Mawlana Akbar Ali (may Allah have mercy on him) awarded me 41 marks (perhaps taking into account my answers to the other questions), which were of the low category. Even though I had studied well for Mishkat, I attained low marks in that exam as well. I do not recall ever getting such poor marks in the exam of any other book. I was deeply disheartened at this, and it is the \u201cblessing\u201d of that pain that today even after 56 years, I still remember the question.<\/p>\n<p>The following were my results in the annual exams that year:<\/p>\n<table width=\"310\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><strong>Book \/ Subject\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"76\"><strong>Marks<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><em>Mishkat<\/em><\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">41<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><em>Nukhbat al-Fikr<\/em><\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">41<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><em>Sharh \u02bfAqaid<\/em><\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><em>Jalalayn<\/em><\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><em>al-Fawz al-Kabir<\/em><\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><em>Husun Hamidiyyah<\/em><\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>I had written the following note beside these results in my personal diary: \u201cThe exams of <em>Mishkat<\/em> and <em>Nukhbat al-Fikr<\/em> were conducted by Mawlana Akbar Ali.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_Toc169779240\"><\/a><strong>My First Jurisprudential (<em>fiqhi<\/em>) Writing <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the academic year ended, we returned home to spend our vacations of Sha\u02bfban and Ramadan. A detailed query regarding the ruling on conducting congregational <em>Tahajjud<\/em> prayers during Ramadan had come to my respected father (may Allah have mercy on him). My respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) instructed me to collate the relevant references from the books of <em>Fiqh<\/em> on this issue so that it becomes easier for him to write the reply, and that I also get practice in referring to books of Fiqh.\u201d This also gave me the opportunity to pursue my desire. Accordingly, I collected the relevant passages from all the books of <em>Fiqh<\/em> available in my respected father\u2019s (may Allah have mercy on him) personal library. I gathered a heap of books, each marked at the relevant pages, beside my pillow. When my respected father saw this heap, he was very pleased and remarked: \u201cBy gathering so many books, you have acted in accordance with my own nature\u201d. Encouraged by these words, I submitted: \u201cIf you permit, shall I pen down my understanding from these references and present it to you?\u201d My respected father granted his permission, after which I wrote a detailed answer and presented it to him. He was overjoyed at reading it and made supplications for me. Later, in his reply to the query (dated 4 Shawwal 1378 AH), he wrote the following at its beginning to the correspondent:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI assigned this query to my youngest son, Muhammad Taqi (may Allah protect him), who is set to begin his studies of <em>Dawrat al-H\u1e24\u1e25Hadith<\/em> this year. My intention was for him to practice referring to books of <em>Fiqh<\/em>, and after he extracts the relevant references, I would write the answer. However, <em>MashaAllah<\/em>, this boy is intelligent. He extracted all the references on his own without any assistance from me and then used those references to write the answer by himself. When I reviewed his writing, I found it fully sufficient and comprehensive. I am therefore sending this very answer with my attestation on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And at the end of the Fatwa (answer), he wrote the following words:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u062f\u0631\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062c\u064a\u0628\u060c \u062d\u064a\u062b\u064f \u0623\u0635\u0627\u0628 \u0641\u064a\u0645\u0627 \u0623\u062c\u0627\u0628\u060c \u0648\u0623\u062c\u0627\u062f \u0641\u064a\u0645\u0627 \u0623\u0641\u0627\u062f\u060c \u0645\u0639 \u0645\u0644\u0627\u062d\u0638\u0629 \u0623\u062f\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0643\u0627\u0628\u0631\u060c \u0648\u0641\u0642\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u062a\u0639\u0627\u0644\u0649 \u0644\u0645\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u062d\u0628\u0651 \u0648\u064a\u0631\u0636\u064a&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This was my first academic writing, which the late respected Majd al-Din of Sylhet later published as a pamphlet titled \u201c<em>Jama\u02bfat Tahajjud Dar Ramadan<\/em>\u201d. I was in the fifteenth year of my life, and after Eid, our <em>Dawrat al-Hadith<\/em> began.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_Toc169779241\"><\/a><strong>The Year of Dawrat al-Hadith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In that year (Shawwal 1378 AH, corresponding to April 1959), our Sahih Bukhari lessons were under Hadhrat Mawlana Mufti Rashid Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him); Jami\u02bf Tirmidhi was taught by Hadhrat Mawlana Salimullah Khan (may Allah have mercy on him); Sahih Muslim by Hadhrat Mawlana Akbar Ali (may Allah have mercy on him); Abu Dawud was initially under Hadhrat Mawlana Muhammad Haqiq (may Allah have mercy on him), but was later transferred to Hadhrat Mawlana Qari Ri\u02bfayatullah (may Allah have mercy on him), from whom we studied the majority of it. Sunan Nasai and Muwatta Imam Muhammad were under Hadhrat Mawlana Sahban Mahmud (may Allah have mercy on him); Sunan Ibn Majah was with Hadhrat Mawlana Muhammad Haqiq (may Allah have mercy on him); and Muwatta Imam Malik and Shamail Tirmidhi were taught by our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him). At that time, our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) resided in the city and would visit Dar al-\u02bfUlum once or twice a week, and would conduct these lessons during those visits.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_Toc169779242\"><\/a><strong>Engrossment in Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The year of <em>Dawrat al-\u1e24Hadith<\/em> is a very memorable one in the life of a student of knowledge. During this year, a student detaches himself from every other subject and devotes his complete attention to the blessed Ahadith of the Noble Messenger .H From morning until evening, the mind is absorbed in a single preoccupation, with lessons on Ahadith taking place in every single class. The following couplet of Hadhrat Majzub (may Allah have mercy on him) would come to my mind:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u0627\u064f\u0646 \u06a9\u0627 \u0630\u06a9\u0631\u060c \u0627\u064f\u0646 \u06a9\u06cc \u062a\u0645\u0646\u0627\u060c \u0627\u064f\u0646 \u06a9\u06cc \u06cc\u0627\u062f<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u0648\u0642\u062a \u06a9\u062a\u0646\u0627 \u0642\u06cc\u0645\u062a\u06cc \u06c1\u06d2 \u0622\u062c \u06a9\u0644<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mentioning him, longing for him, remembering him<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">How precious is time these days<\/p>\n<p>Due to the blessings of Hadhrat Mufti Rashid Ahmad\u2019s (may Allah have mercy on him) companionship, a love for books had already been instilled in my heart since the previous year. When the <em>Dawrat al-\u1e24Hadith<\/em> year began, the desire arose in my heart to thoroughly prepare for each lesson before attending the class. For this, we brought a few books from the personal library of our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him). One was <em>Fat\u1e25 al-Mulhim<\/em>, the commentary on Sahih Muslim, and the other was an incomplete commentary on Jami\u02bf Tirmidhi titled \u201cal-\u1e6cib al-Shadhi\u201d, written by Hadhrat Mawlana Ashfaq Ahmad Kandahlawi (may Allah have mercy on him). It was printed as a large book using an old typeface. Hadhrat Binnori\u2019s commentary \u201c<em>Ma\u02bfarif al-Sunan<\/em>\u201d had not yet been published, so this was the best commentary on Tirmidhi as of that time, though it only covered up to <em>Kitab al-Taharah<\/em>. Additionally, our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) also gave us <em>al-\u02bfArf al-Shadhi<\/em> and <em>al-Kawkab al-Durri<\/em>. Beyond these, the lectures on Jami\u02bf Tirmidhi delivered by Hadhrat \u02bfAllama Anwar Shah Kashmiri (may Allah have mercy on him), which our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) had personally transcribed, were also available. Our respected father (may Allah have mercy on him) had these transcriptions fully copied by his paternal cousin, Hadhrat Mawlana Zahur Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), and added numerous annotations from <em>al-Kawkab al-Durri<\/em> and <em>al-\u02bfArf al-Shadhi<\/em> in the margins, and had it bound into a large volume. He kindly gave this to us as well. With these, we had excellent reference material for the study of Jami\u02bf Tirmidhi.<\/p>\n<p>For Sahih Bukhari, in the beginning, I wanted to read \u02bf<em>Umdat al-Qari <\/em>and <em>Fath al-Bari<\/em> as much as possible, but we did not possess these two books, hence we had to visit the library of Dar al-\u02bfUlum to study them. In those days, the library was located in the dilapidated building that was known as <em>Purana Bangla<\/em> (Old Bungalow). This was the same bungalow that the late Haji Ibrahim Dadabhai, who had endowed his land to Dar al-\u02bfUlum, had gifted to Dar al-\u02bfUlum along with the land. On its eastern side was a two-storey residential building. Toward its west, after a courtyard, stood a long building, a part of which was used as the Administration Office. What was the Administration Office? It consisted of a long mat spread on the floor, with a wooden floor desk placed on one side along with a bolster pillow (gao takkia). The other part of this same long building had been converted into the library, where numerous wooden cupboards were haphazardly strewn around, with each cupboard containing books arranged by subject. Hadhrat Mawlana Abdul Khafi Saharanpuri (may Allah have mercy on him) was the librarian and was known for his strictness. However, seeing our passion for reading, he became very kind to us. After attending our class of Tirmidhi in the fourth period, we would head to the library. There, we would study \u02bf<em>Umdat al-Qari<\/em> and <em>Fat\u1e25 al-Bari<\/em> as much as possible, and during this time, also familiarize ourselves with other books. Once or twice, it so happened that the time for the library to close had arrived whilst I was engrossed in studying a book, so I requested Mawlana (may Allah have mercy on him): \u201cCan I stay here until Zuhr while you can go for lunch?\u201d. He kindly granted me permission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.(Continued)&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memories (Episode 18-a) The Mosque of Dar al-\u02bfUlum After Dar al-\u02bfUlum shifted to Sharafi, while the classrooms and dormitory buildings had been constructed, a formal mosque could not be built immediately, and initially, prayers were offered on a paved floor <a href=\"https:\/\/muftitaqiusmani.com\/en\/memories-episode-18-a\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-memories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
