Early life and education[edit]

Nadwi was born on October 3, 1969, in Takia Kalan, Raebareli, India.[2][3] His father Muhammad al-Hasani was an Islamic scholar, founder, and editor-in-chief of the Arabic magazine Al Baas Al Islami.[4][5] His grandfather, Syed Abdul Ali Hasani, was the elder brother of Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi and the 6th chancellor of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama.[6][7] His great-grandfather, Syed Abdul Hayy Hasani was a writer who wrote the biographical book, Nuzhat al-Khawātir.[8][9] Nadwi is a descendant of Hasan ibn Hasan and Hasan ibn Ali[10] through Syed Ahmad Barelvi.[11][12]

Nadwi lost his father at ten, and was raised by his elder brother Abdullah Hasani Nadwi.[13][14][15] He received his primary education in his native land, under the supervision of Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi. After that, he enrolled in Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama for higher education and completed the Aalimiyyah course in 1988 and the Fazīlah course in 1990 there.[2][3]

He received an Ijazah in Hadith from Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi, Abdur Rashīd Nomani, Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda, Abdullah ibn Abdul Aziz al-Aqīl, Yunus Jaunpuri, Ahmad Hasan Tonki, and Shaikh Ahmad Shafi. He is an authorised disciple of Muhammad Rabey Hasani Nadwi and Sayed Nafees al-Hussaini in Tariqah.[2]

Career[edit]

After graduating from school, Nadwi was appointed as a Hadith teacher in Madrasa Ziyaul Uloom,[16][2][13] as well as Islamic studies in Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama.[2] He succeeded his brother as the general secretary of the Payam-e-Insaniyat in 2013.[2][9]
