AMU Confessions September 27. Allamah Shibli Nomani : Star of Aligarh ======================== After Sir Syed Ahmad Khan Bahadur, one of his protege Allama Mohammad Shibli Nomani is considered as tallest figures among the Muslims of Indian subcontinent who died at an age of 57 but his academic and social work put him way above to people who were far senior and elder to him. Being a native of Azamgarh, I heard his name at a very early age due to Shibli National Post Graduate College , which he founded in 1883 and got named after him after his death. Even though the college did not progressed as expected by any standard but got significance because of its founder. His another venture Darul Musannefin which was also renamed as Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy did a wonderful job in realizing the dreams of its founder. After the Independence of India and break up of the country, it lost one of the main pillar Maulana Syed Sulaiman Nadvi who migrated to Pakistan and strong supporter Nizam of Hyderabad but still survived many hick ups. The new team of Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy under the leadership of its Director Prof. Ishtiyaq Ahmad Zilli is trying to bring it back on its feet and restore the past glory. Allama Shibli Nomani has a versatile personality but his mostly known for his academic work. Hope people of academia will work on other dimensions of his personality and give him his deserving stature of a reformer rather than just academician and theologian. Here is his brief life sketch.
