His Early Life and Education
Allama Arshadul Qadri was born on 5 March, 1925 in Syed Pura (istrict Balia of eastern UP. His father, Maulana Shah Abdul Latif was a noted graduate from Darul Uloom Hanafia, Jaunpur. He was sent to Ghazipur for higher education. It’s here that he spent most of his early age. The period between the first and the second world wars was extremely tumultuous. His elder brother, Maulana Ghulam Aasi Piya brought him to Madrasa Ashrafia, Mubarakpur, which proved a major turning point in his life. In 1944, he got his post graduate (Fazilat) degree from Jamia Ashrafia ,Mubarakpur . Maulana Shah Hafiz Abdul Aziz from Mubarak played a very significant role to educate him. He had been a distinguished orator and a prolific writer since the beginning of his student life.
His qualities as Scholar
Allama Arshadul Qadri was gifted with mercurial temperament, he was dynamic and never felt complacent. He explored the east and the west and scrutinized and observed the potentiality of Islam among the non-Muslim communities.
In 1954, he gained great victory over the famous Deobandi debater, Molvi Abdul Latif Nu'mani, the Shiekh-ul-Hadith of Miftahul Uloom in Mau (U.P.). Hence, he was given the title Fateh Jamshaidpur or the 'Conqueror of Jamshaidpur".
His contributions
On International level he organized movements such as World Islamic Mission, London, Dawat-e-Islami Karachi and Madinatul Islam, the Hague, Europe. In India, Jamia Faizul Uloom, (Jamshedpur), Darul Ziaul Islam (Howrah), Darul Uloom Makhdumia (Guwahati), Madrasa Madinatul Uloom (Bangalore), Faizul Uloom High School, (Jamshedpur) and Jamia Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (New Delhi) bear evidence to his tireless efforts and concern for Islam and the Muslim Ummah.[3]
His Views about Prevailing Conditions
He criticised and condemned the prevailing sectarian differences among Muslim community.According to him, Muslim religious schools are infested with sectarian elements. They can not go together even with one who belongs to their own school.
The leadership of the Muslim community is disintegrating and it is rather emerging as a chaos. He believed that madrasas are preservers of Islam and its fundamental tenets in India and he was aggrieved over the madrasas lacking in ability to take initiative, high moral and the will power to excel.Madrasas are victims of pessimism, obscurantism, frustration and inferiority complex. They curse others to hide their fiasco. Allama Arshadul Qadri never made a retreat. He kept on marching ahead with equipoise and firm determination. He said,
| “ | I feel the dire need of such ulema (clerics) who could interpret and propagate Islam in international languages. So I have resolved to establish such an institution which will equip the traditional ulema (clerics) with latest awareness and information. | ” |
