Nisar qadri biography books
This is translated from Maqalat-e-Rizwiya by Muhammad Abdu’s Sattar Tahir which is a collection of essays on Sayyidi Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmad Rida Khan (rahmatullah alayh) by the late ‘Allama ‘Abdul Hakeem Sharf Qadri (rahmatullah alayh). It details events up until 2000. I will try to find details of achievements thereafter until ‘Allama’s demise on Saturday 1 September, 2007.
Any place where it says Establishment or Publication, this is the direct work of ‘Allama.

for 4 years as Mufti and head tea STUDENTS of research often complain about the lack of biographical dictionaries in Urdu. As a result, they say, when they want to ensure the correct date of birth and/or death of a writer, absence of any reliable biographical work takes much of their time and effort, and they have to dig up heaps of books just to mention a year in their research. But it would be naive to assume that we do not have any such material in Urdu that may guide us on the towering figures of our literature, history and culture. Aside from tazkiras, or brief biographical sketches, that serve as the earliest record of notable poets of Urdu and Persian, Syed Sulaiman Nadvi regularly published obituaries in his magazine Ma’arif. Some of the works that are useful in finding the dates of birth and/or death of authors of Urdu are: Qaamoosul Mashaaheer Compiled by Nizami Badayuni and published in two volumes in 1924 and 1927, the book gives brief biographical sketches of about 4,000 famous personalities from the subcontinent and Islamic countries. Though the compiler claimed to have consulted a large number of works on history, it was largely based on An Oriental Biographical Dictionary, a famous work by Thomas William Beale. Beale died in Agra in 1875 and his work was first published posthumously in 1881 by Asiatic Society of Bengal. Syed Ahmedullah Qadri criticised Nizami’s work in a booklet in two parts and pointed out glaring errors in it. What shocked the literary circles, however, was a version of the same work published from Lahore in 1999 under a new title Mashaaheer-i-Mashriq. Edited and updated by Afzal Haq Qarshi, it contained most of the errors of the first edition. A much better edition was published by Patna’s Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Library in 2004 that revised the work with the help of errata published in the first edition. It also included the second part of Ahmedullah Qadri’s critical booklet. Tazkira-i-Mashaaheer-i-Kakori Recording the lives of famous figures hailing Islamic scholar Muhammad Waqaruddin Qadri (1 January 1915 – 9 September 1993) also known as Waqar-e-Millat was an Islamic scholar associated with the Sunni Barelvi movement of south Asia. His fatawa (rulings) are compiled in three volume of the book titled Waqar ul Fatawa. He taught and administered in Islamic institutes in India, Bangladesh and later in Pakistan. He was conferred title of Grand Mufti of Pakistan during Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq regime. He was born on 1 January 1915 (14 Safar 1333 AH) to a family of scholars. They were middle class-landlords of the Arain tribe in the village Khamaria of Pilibhit, District of Uttar Pradesh, India. His father Hameeduddin had memorized the Quran. His mother Imtiazun Nisa was the daughter of Haji Nisar Ahmad of village Pandri, District Pilibhit. He received his primary education and training in his ancestral village Khamaria, then in Madarsa-e-Astana-e-Sheria, Pilibhit and later in Manzar-e-Islam, at dargah Ala Hazrat, Bareilly. Thereafter, he went to Dadon, village of Aligarh to complete Daura-e-Hadith with Amjad Ali Aazmi. In 1937, he was awarded degree for the completion of hadith by Hakim Amjad Ali. In 1945, he got married with Mohatarma Jameela Begum Daughter of Anwarul Haaq of village Karghaina, District Pilibhit. On appointing as Vice-President for Faculty affairs, Mufti Azame-Hind Mustafa Rida Khan gave him a certificate of appreciation. He was appointed as teacher in Madarsa Manzar-e-Islam and later promoted as an in charge and manager for teaching at Manzar -e-Islam. He was among the panel of debaters who continuously debate with scholars of another school of thought. The debate with an Ahle Hadith scholar in village Tanda, District Bareilly is famous of his life time where he was awarded by Mufti Azame-Hind Mustafa Raza Khan.[7&# Qazi Nisar was the Mirwaiz of South Kashmir. He was a founding member of the Muslim United Front (MUF) that contested the rigged 1987 Legislative Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, and Ummat e Islami. He was a vocal advocate of freedom for Kashmiris. His son, Qazi Yasir, is also serving as the Mirwaiz of South Kashmir. Qazi Nisar Ahmad was born in 1952, the son of Qazi Ghulam Mohammed. He pursued his early education at Nusrat ul Islam Anantnag. He was the grandson of Qazi Qamar u Din, who led an uprising against the Maharaja of Jammu Kashmir Pratap Singh. His two brothers were killed during the uprising. His activism started at age 19, when he was arrested for the first time for organising a protest against the then Congressman, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed. He was bailed out after a week and was arrested again a month later. In 1985, he was jailed in Amphala jail for 6 months. He went to watch Indian Parliament proceedings where he bashed the parliamentarians in one of his best speeches on the hanging of Mohammed Maqbool Bhat. He was perhaps one of the first people to observe 11 February as the "Day of Reaffirmation" alongside Shakeel Bakshi, Nayeem Khan and Yasin Malik. in 1985 he openly defied Governor Jagmohan’s dictate not to consume beef, sacrificing two cows in the main town square of Anantnag. In 1986, he was detained again. "In Central Jail alone more than 1000 against a capacity of low hundreds were lodged in central Jail Srinagar, 50 people were lodged in each cell against a capacity of 15-20 people," says Mohammed Saeed from Pahalgam. He was detained again for 7 months in 1988 and 30 months in 1990. Launched in 1985, after the escalation of human rights violations in Kashmir, The Khyri Aam Trust, spread across Kashmir, undertaking social work initiatives. The tru
