Islamic studies
&
Oriental learning

http://shibliacademy.org

On November 21, 2004, Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy, Azamgarh, completed 90 years of its life. Widely acknowledged by scholars of our Asian neighbours, this Academy of letters specializes in research on Islamic Learning, medieval Indian history and oriental studies.Here we give a reprint of an article published by the Press Information Bureau, Government of India.“Moulded in the scholarly tradition of India’s ancient centre of learning, the Darul Musannefeen Shibli Academy in the old Azamgarh town of Uttar Pradesh has taken its place alongside some known modern research institutions. The small band of devoted scholars in the Academy, who preferred the pursuit of knowledge to the lure of status, comforts or emoluments, which could have been theirs for the asking, recalls the glory of the ancient scholars of Nalanda,Cairo, Taxila and Transoxonia. A well-equipped library and a well organised Publication Department, putting out original works or the fruits of modern research in oriental philosophy, history and culture, make it the envy of many an institution in the field.”

EARLY HISTORY
The Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy was established on November 21, 1914, three days after the death of its founder Maulana Shibli Nomani. He was an erudite scholar and a versatile writer, the Maulana was quick to grasp the need for a modern institution for the study of and research in the various branches of Islamic learning and oriental languages. Both logic and history seemed to confirm his belief that in the absence of well-directed and concentrated research, culture and education tend to get stagnated. To re-orientate the basic concepts of medieval Islamic education and to interpret Islamic history and philosophy in modern terms could introduce an element of dynamism in the entire field of learning. With this end in view he made a two pronged attack on intellectual decadence.In the sphere of education, Shibli helped to found the NadwatuI Ulama, at Lucknow, a model institution for teaching of Arabic and Islamic studies, while in the field of research, he conceived of the plan of Darul Musannefin.An outline of the organisation was first published by Maulana Shibli in the Al-Hilal, the well-known weekly of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was so impressed by the plan that when Maulana Syed Suleman Nadvi later after his mentors death offered the fellowship of Darul Mussanefin to Maulana Azad, he wrote back to him that he would deem it an honour to serve the Academy even in the capacity of a coolie. Maulana Shibli had formulated an ambitious plan but all that he could achieve before his death, on November 18, 1914, was to create an endowment of his spacious garden, two kutchcha bungalows and about 300 books to form the nucleus of a library. He had, however, created a small group of co-workers and pupils who could carry the work further and had also compiled a few standard works to serve as pilot project.

DEPARTMENTS
It was left to his pupils and co-workers, Maulana Hamiduddin Farahi, Maulana Syed Sulaiman Nadwi and Maulana Masood Ali to elaborate his ideas into actual practice. Two years after its inception, the progress of work at the Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy necessitated its re-organisation into seven departments to facilitate research and study on modern lines. These were the Departments of Seerat-e-Nabavi, Research Department, Publication Department, monthly Ma’arif, Library, Buildings Department and the Printing Press. It now became an integrated and self contained institution where research, editing, collation, compilation, calligraphy, printing and sales were organised as parts of a unified process.The Academy also blazed a new trail for the Indian Ulama, who had hitherto been engaged, with few exceptions, in rehashing old material, annotating difficult books, writing comment or expounding the controversial variations in Fiqh. The Academy opened up for them many a new vista of creative writing. But the impact transcended the immediate gains of individual Ulama. The literary and scholastic pursuit, which had slumped into decadence, began coming into its own once again.

PUBLICATIONS
The Academy did rekindle in the minds of the Ulama the desire for creative and critical study of Islamic history and other branches of Muslim learning. With the zeal of a missionary, Maulana Shibli had already produced a large number of books on a variety of subjects and these served as models for the writers who followed. His Sher-ul-Ajam for example, is a history of the Persian language and literature and Mowazina-i-Anis-o-Dabeer is a masterpiece of literary criticism in Urdu. Two other books Al-Farooq and Al-Mamoon are the first important Islamic biographies in Urdu. But his work of monumental dimensions is the Seerat-un-Nabi (Life of the Prophet) for which a separate Department had to be created later. Shibli had collected a stupendous volume of material on the subject but he had attempted only the first two of the six volumes of the seerat, when death cut short a brilliant career. The rest of material was arranged and put into shape by his trusted pupil and colleague, Syed Sulaiman Nadvi.The work had been acknowledged to be the most authentic and comprehensive account of the various facets of Prophet Muhammad’s life and teachings. Turkey has already translated it in Turkish, while Pakistan and U.A.R. are rendering it into English and Arabic respectively. The work, perhaps for the first time, attempts to put the historical role of Islam and its Prophet into correct perspective and underlines Prophet’s contribution to the cause of human progress, universal peace and brotherhood, and his spiritual and moral achievements.Inspired by the zest and the noble motives of the founder, the Academy has, during the last half of a century, published about 100 volumes of edited or compiled works by its Fellows. Some of these works are indeed encyclopedic in character. Besides the Seerat-un-Nabi the collection of the biographical sketches of the companions of the Holy Prophet, entitled the Seyar-us-Sahaba, is also a stupendous work.The AI-Farooq ( the Life of Caliph Omar) by Maulana Shibli, has won recognition from the scholars of Iran and Afghanistan, where its translation was undertaken, as a remarkable book still unsurpassed for its scholarly treatment The English translation of this book was attempted by Maulana ZafarAli Khan.In the literary field, Maulana Shibli’s Sher-ul-Ajam was highly spoken of by Prof. Browne of the Cambridge University and even today it enjoys great reputation among scholars. It has been translated in Iran and Afghanistan. Similarly, the life and work of the famous poet, Omar Khayam, by Syed Sulaiman Nadvi, is regarded as an outstanding work of research and criticism and has been translated into Persian in Iran. The Sher-ul-Hind (in two volumes) by Abdus Salam Nadvi and Gul-i-Rana by Abdul Hai are valuable critical history of Urdu poetry.In the field of history and culture, the Academy, has published a large number of books, many of which have received awards from the State or the Central Government. So far, it has published 15 volumes on Islamic history and 17 on the history of Medieval India.The number of books published and the variety of subjects covered constitute an impressive record. These include Life of the Holy Prophet (6 Volumes), other biographies (23 Volumes), Literature (17 Volumes), History of Medieval India (17 Volumes), Islamic History (17 Volumes), Philosophy (11 Volumes), Arabic works (5 Volumes), Geographical History (2 Volumes), Dictionary. (1) Volume), Psychology (2 Volumes), Miscellaneous (17 Volumes), Total:118 volumes, number of pages: 39,481. A large number of these works have been prescribed for the degree courses of the various universities of India and Pakistan. In the next seven years the Academy proposes to bring out 20 volumes on different aspects of history, culture and Islamic religion.

ACADEMY’S JOURNAL
The monthly journal of the Academy, the Ma’arif is respected for the standard of scholarship and research it has maintained, and for the specialized fare it has provided on Islamic studies and culture. It has had few rivals in Urdu language during the last 93 years. It attracted the elite of intellectual life and among its contributors have been writers, authors, poets theologians and administrators of proven ability.

AUTHORS AND FELLOWS
Darul Musannifeen's founder, Allama Shibli Nomani, its first president Maulana Hamiduddin Farahi and its first administrator Maulana Sayyid Sulaiman Nadwi, enjoy international fame as scholars. In addition to them, Maulana Abdus Salam Nadwi, Prof. Abdul Bari Nadwi, Maulana Abu Zafar Nadwi, Maulana Abul Jalal Nadwi, Prof. Sayyid Najib Ashraf Nadwi, among other, are also worth mentioning.

OFFICE HOLDERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITIES

India's prominent scholars and men of letters have been members and office bearers of this institution. Personalities like Nawab Imadul Mulk Mir Sayyid Hasan Bilgrami, Justice Karamat Husain, Tarjumanul Qur'an Maulana Hamiduddin Farahi, Nawab Sadar Yar Jung, Maulana Habibur Rahman Khan Sherwani, Dr. Sayed Mahmood (former Union minister), Maulana Abdul Majid Daryabadi and Maulana Sayyid Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi have presided over its meetings. Persons like Nawab Sayyid Ali Hasan Khan, Mehdi Efadi, Prof. Abdul Qadir of Poona, Shaikh Muhammad Iqbal of Lahore, Dr. Zakir Husain Khan and Fakhruddin Ali Ahmad (former presidents of India), Dr. Abdul Jalil Faridi, Hakeem Abdul Hameed of Hamdard Dawakhana, Col. Basheer Husain Zaidi, among others, have been members of its managing committees. At present, Nawab M. Jah Bahadur, of Hyderabad, is the president of its managing committee. Scholars and intellectuals like Saiyid Hamid, former Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University and Chancellor of Jamia Hamdard (Delhi), Maulana Sayed Muhammad Rabey Nadwi, rector of Nadwatul Ulama (Lucknow) and Maulana Abu Mahfoozul Karim Ma'soomi, former principal of Madrasa Aalia, Kolkata, have earlier been presidents of Darul Musannifeen's managing committees.

LIBRARY
The life throb of the Academy is undeniably its well equipped library. From the nucleus built by Maulana Shibli, it has grown into a big store house of knowledge. During the last 50 years, books have been continuously added into its shelves and now it contains thousand of books, including some rare manuscripts and publications. The library offers to research workers and scholars a very wide range of literature on a large variety of subjects.

PATRONS
On account of the cosmopolitan and constructive outlook, the Academy, from its very inception, earned encouragement from leaders of all shades of thought Among them are Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Sir Tel Bahadur Sapru, Acharya Narendra Dev, Shri Jaya Prakash Narain , Pandit Motilal Nehru, Dr. Zakir Husain, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, Syedana Dr. Tahir Saifuddin, Maulana Shaukat Ali, Dr.M. A. Ansari, Shri Rafi Ahmad Qidwai, Shri A.A.A. Fyzee, Maulana Hasrat Mohani and Maulana Husain Ahrned Madani. Pandit Moti Lal Nehru, in particular, had a special attachment for the institution. Whenever his legal or political work brought him to the area, and such occasions mainly, he preferred to stay as a guest of the Academy. Jawahar Lal Nehru followed in the footsteps of his illustrious father and associated himself with it as a Life Member.Most of this galaxy has been very welcome but only casual visitors to these premises. Its most frequent guests have been scholars and authors who come to this unpretentious corner in search of knowledge and truth and enjoyed the frugal but sincere hospitality of the Academy’s workers.

FINANCIAL AID

Compared to the achievements of the Academy, its resources have been meager. Immediately after independence, the Academy was faced with a serious financial crisis and the then Education Minister of India, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, sanctioned, at the instance of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, a grant of Rs. 60,000 to help the Academy tide over the emergency. Rafi Ahmad Qidwai also helped the Academy in different ways. In appreciation of its national role and contribution to India’s composite culture, Jawaharlal Nehru had become its Life Member by making a personal donation of sum of Rs. 1,000. The Ministry of Scientific Research and Cultural Affairs gave a substantial grant for the Academy’s project to write a detailed history of India. The Government of Uttar Pradesh gave a non-recurring grant of Rs. 10,000 for the expansion of the Press. Towards the recurring expenses of the Academy, Jammu and Kashmir Government has sanctioned an annual grant of Rs. 5,000. These grants and donations meet but a small part of the Academy’s recurring and non recurring expenditure. The major part of the revenues comes from the sale of publications and income from the endowments.For the type of venture, the Academy has embarked upon adequate funds as a sine qua non. But it does not matter to the devoted scholars like Maulana Shah Moinuddin Nadvi and Syed Sabahuddin Abdur Rahman, who have made a life mission of research and creative writing. At great personal discomfort and even monetary loss have these scholars and their colleagues elected to serve the Academy and add luster to India’s greatness as a centre of oriental studies. The Academy is not only the proud successor to a rich heritage but has also built up its own traditions of research and selfless work. What is more heartening is that it has not ceased to grow and its contribution to learning will always be remembered with grateful admiration”.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In the literary publications of Darul Musannifeen, scientific and cultural achievements of Muslims and Islam are portrayed in such a beautiful, authoritative and scholarly style that even orthodox ulama have appreciated it very much, so much so that even critics and opponents have acknowledged its superiority. Orientalists of Europe and Christian scholars of Egypt and Syria have acknowledged its achievements. Their articles and letters to the institution testify to this fact. The reputation of Darul Musannifeen can be felt in every nook and corner of the subcontinent. It has imparted mental and intellectual training to the community and the nation. Not only Muslims, many learned Hindus also have derived benefits and knowledge from its publications.The popularity and reputation of Darul Musannifeen has drawn the attention of politicians also who take pride in paying a visit to this institution from its inception to this day. During the days of Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, many Hindu and Muslim leaders had been guests of this institution and acknowledged its services.

THE GOLDEN JUBLEE IN 1965 AND AFTER
You have seen a glimpse of the services and achievements of Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy, Azamgarh, in the previous pages. of an article published by Press Information Bureau, Government of India, New Delhi, on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Academy in 1965. Dr Zakir Husáin, the then Vice President of India and member of the Managing Committee of Darul Musannefin, presided over the function which proved a great event in the history of the Academy. Learned scholars and intellectuals from all over India participated and appreciated the contribution of Darul Musannefin, a unique institution founded by Allama Shibli Nomani. On this occasion an outline of a programme was prepared for writing and publishing further books in the field of history of India series of the Academy.The Government of India offered financial assistance for the publication of these books. Consequently several books were written by the Academy’s scholars and fellows and the expenses of their publication were met by the Government of India.Maulana Masood Au Nadvi, the last man of the small band of founder members of the Academy, was very weak and saw the Golden Jublee celebration from his bed. All the preparations and arrangements were made by Maulana Shah Moinuddin Nadvi and his colleague Syed Sabahuddin Abdur Rahman. After the death of Maulana Masood Ali Nadvi in 1968 and later of Shah Moinuddin Nadvi in 1974, the responsibilities of the Academy fell on the shoulders of Syed Sabahuddin Abdur Rahman who managed it very efficiently during his time. For a brief period, Maulana Abdus Salam Qidwai also assisted him, but he died within a few years.Syed Sabahuddin Abdur Rahman was endowed with both a scholar’s intellect and an administrator’s wisdom. He wrote thousands of pages on cultural history of medieval India, on the one hand and devised means to make the Academy financially stable and strong, on the other, thereby glorifying the name of Darul Musannefin in the whole world. In 1982 he organised a world Seminar on Islam and Orientalists. Delegates, from all over India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Arab Countries, Iran, Thailand, Japan and South Africa participated. A large number of papers were presented in Urdu and Arabic. They were later published by the Academy in several volumes. In 1987 the great luminary Syed Sabahuddin Abdur Rahman died in a road accident at Lucknow and an era of 52 years of devoted service came to an end. There after Maulana Ziauddin Islahi was appointed Nazim of Literary Section and Syed Shahabuddin Desnavi Secretary of Administrative Section. In 1992 Abdul Mannan Helali was appointed Hon. Jt. Secretary to look after the Administrative Section. After the death of Syed Shahabuddin Desnavi, Maulana Ziauddin lslahi became secretary (Nazim) of the Academy.From the very beginning Darul Musannefin has been doing pioneer work in the field of Islamic studies, medieval history and oriental languages and literature without any regular grant from the Government although it received some financial assistance now and then.After the partition demand of Urdu books declined and restrictions on export of books affected the Academy’s sale adversely. Even then the Academy has succeeded to bring out 198 books up to 2004 under the following heads.1. Life of the Holy Prophet (9),2. Other Biographies (43),3. Literature (48),4. History of India (31),5. Islamic History (12),6. Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology (18 vols),7. Arabic Works (6 vols),8.English (3 vols)9. Islam and Orientalists (6 vols),10. Miscellaneous (22).Total 198 books.Maulana Ziauddin Islahi, the leader of the Academy’s Carvan, managed to hold a World Seminar of Almi Rabta-e-Adab-e-lslami in 1995 on Sawaneh Nigari and about hundred delegates took part. The Seminar was inaugurated by Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi, the World President of the Rabta and also the President of the Executive Committee of Darul Musannefin.
In 2002 Mr. Amar Singh, Member of Parliament visited the Academy and was highly impressed by its scholars achievements and devotions, its rich library and the precious manuscripts that it treasures. He sanctioned a grant of 25 lacs (The maximum that he could sanctioned under rules) for constructing a two-storied building for library and Conference Hall. The specious Hall (90'x30') was inaugurated on the occasion of a two day International seminar on "Allama Shibli Nomani: Life and works." Maulana Mohammad Rabey Husni Nadvi, President of All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Rector of the Nadwa-Tul-Ulama, Lucknow, and a member of the Managing Committee of Darul Mussannefeen, presided over the inaugural session. Eminent scholars participated in the five sessions of the seminars which was grand success in all respects. This addedd another feather to the cap of Maulana Ziauddin Islahi, The secretary of the Academy.
