The Great Scholars of The Deoband Seminary is a highly inspirational glimpse into the lives and works of some of the luminaries affiliated to Dar al-Ulum Deoband, aptly renowned as the Azhar of the East. It is a translation of two Urdu articles authored by Mufti Taqi Usmani, which were later jointly published under the title Akabir-i Deoband Kya Thay. The first article is essentially a recollection of an array of profound stories, teachings and personal interactions, which Mufti Taqi Usmani's illustrious father, Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani, would often be related with great fondness regarding his teachers and elders whom he benefited from. The second article, again a collection of stories and sayings, highlight the salient features of those who hailed from the rich tradition of the Deoband seminary.
Essentially, this book epitomizes the essence and spirit of the Deoband seminary and provides an invaluable insight into the character, legacy, and methodology of its great masters.
