Autorenporträt

Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi (19141999), widely revered as Ali Miyan, stands among the most distinguished Islamic scholars and intellectuals of the modern era. Born in Rae Bareli, India, into a family renowned for its scholarly tradition, Nadwi received comprehensive training in both classical Islamic sciences and modern disciplines, uniquely positioning him to bridge traditional scholarship with contemporary challenges facing the Muslim world.



As rector of Nadwat al-Ulama in Lucknow for five decades, Nadwi transformed the institution into a premier center for Islamic learning that balanced classical textual scholarship with modern educational methods. His pedagogical philosophy emphasized returning to Islam's foundational sourcesthe Qur'an and Sunnahwhile maintaining intellectual rigor and spiritual depth characteristic of the great Islamic scholarly tradition.



A prolific polyglot author, Nadwi wrote over fifty books in Arabic, Urdu, and English, many of which have been translated into dozens of languages. His writings span Islamic history, theology, spirituality, biography, and contemporary Muslim issues. Works such as Ma Dha Khasira al-Alam bi Inhitat al-Muslimin (What the World Lost with the Decline of Muslims) and Al-Sira al-Nabawiyyah (The Biography of the Prophet) demonstrate his ability to make classical Islamic thought accessible and relevant to modern readers without compromising scholarly integrity.



Nadwi's international influence extended through his roles as founding member of the Muslim World League, president of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, and vice-president of the Islamic Fiqh Academy. He served on Oxford University's Centre for Islamic Studies board and maintained extensive scholarly correspondence with leading intellectuals worldwide, fostering interfaith dialogue while articulating Islam's distinctive message.



His magnum opus, Saviours of Islamic Spirit, represents decades of meticulous research into Islamic intellectual history. The work refutes misconceptions about Islamic civilization's alleged periods of stagnation, demonstrating instead an unbroken chain of reformers, scholars, and spiritual masters who continuously revitalized Muslim societies. Its methodologydrawing extensively from primary sources and situating each figure within historical contextset new standards for Islamic biographical writing.



Nadwi received numerous international honors, including the King Faisal International Prize for Service to Islam (1980), the Sultan Brunei Award for contributions to Islamic scholarship, and the UAE President's Award for Islamic Personality of the Year. The Syrian Arab Republic conferred its highest civilian honor upon him, recognizing his contributions to Arabic literature and Islamic thought.



His legacy endures through his institutional contributions, extensive writings, and the countless scholars he trained and inspired. Nadwi exemplified the classical Islamic scholar-sage traditioncombining profound learning with spiritual depth, intellectual independence with humble piety, and unwavering commitment to Islamic principles with openness to dialogue and mutual understanding.
