Maulana Muhammad Manzoor Numani(RA)<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On 27th Zul Hijjah 1417 (5 May 1997), another star of knowledge and piety set. The demise of Moulana Muhammed Manzoor Numani (RA) touched the heart of thousands of Muslims around the world who knew him either personally or through his writings.
\nMoulana Sayid Abul Hasan Nadwi (RA), a contemporary of Moulana Numani (RA) and a great author of our times addressing a congregation in the Nadwatul Ulama Musjid, emphatically outlined the remarkable achievements and qualities of the deceased. Moulana Nadwi spent some fifty years as his close associate and companion and had requested him to settle in Lucknow after he had begun his D\u00eeni work in Bareilly.
\nMoulana Numani\u2019s (RA) speech and writings speak volumes about his erudition and all-round knowledge of tafs\u00eer, had\u00eeth, fiqh and the deviated sects. Having obtained his knowledge from the likes of Allamah Anwar Shah Kashmiri (RA), it is no wonder that he was so thoroughly versed and immersed in knowledge. He remained engrossed in D\u00eeni activity till the end of his life.
\nMoulana (RA) was well acquainted with the beliefs and ideologies of all deviated sects. He used to quote from the books as if he was reading out text, from a book. Moulana was an expert debator and he defended Islam against the beliefs of the Qadiyanis, Barelwis and others. He protected Islam from all the forms of shirk and, bidah.
\nWhen the situation in India deteriorated for, the Muslims, he intended to establish a movement for the defence of all Muslim. For this aim he traveled to all the different centers of learning in India and Pakistan with Moulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi (RA). Finally they reached Nizamuddin and consulted Moulana Ilyas (RA). They eventually decided to lend their full support for the work of Dawah and towards this end they travelled to many cities and addressed the masses.
\nMoulana Numani’s (RA) political thinking was greatly influenced by his alma mater and he became associated with Jamiatul Ulama Hind, the most notable among the \u2018nationalist\u2019 Muslim groupings. Although he was nor a member of its central committee, his understanding of Indian politics seemed to command the respect of the Jamiat leadership. He used to be invited specially to important sessions of the jamiat. Moulana (RA)was bay\u2019at to Hadrat Raipuri (RA) who used to say that on the day of Qiy\u00e2mah if All\u00e2h Ta\u2019\u00e2la has to ask what he brought, he would reply that he brought Moulana Numani(RA).
\nMoulana Numani (RA) combined both the work of Da\u2019wah and being an educationist. Most often the one who is involved in Da\u2019wah does not have the time for studying while the on involved with books cannot spare time for Da\u2019wah. Moulana managed to do both tasks simultaneously.
\nAlthough Moulana (RA)was a graduate of Deoband, he had very close links with Nadwa. On the insistence of its, authorities, he taught had\u00eeth at Nadwa and remained a member of the administration for a very long period.
\nMoulana (RA) was an excellent author. He wrote many books that have been widely accepted. Most of them have been translated into English.
\nAmongst others, he wrote a detailed work on had\u00eeth called Ma’ariful Had\u00eeth [Meaning and Message of the Traditions] \u2018What is Islam?\u2019; \u2018What the Qur\u2019\u00e2n tells you\u2019 and D\u00een and Shar\u00ee\u2018 ah\u2019. Notwithstanding all his other obligations, he published a monthly journal \u2018Al Furq\u00e2n\u2019 which is an internationally accepted magazine.
\nMay All\u00e2h Ta\u2019\u00e2la grant the Ummah benefit through all his publications and grant him Jannah Firdous.
\nAm\u00een.
