Religion:Khutbat-e-madras

From HandWiki

Khutbat-e-Madras (Urdu: خطباتِ مدراس‎) is a collection of eight sermons on the life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad by Syed Suleiman Nadvi, first published in 1936.[1] Nadvi prepared the material for a non-Arab, non-Muslim audience. Syed gave these sermons in October and November 1925 at the request of Islami Taleemi Anjuman at Madras University.[2]

Development

Nadvi sought the approval of contemporary scholar Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi for the translation. The two met while Nadwi was passing through Khobar on his way back from Mecca, and Nadvi showed him his translation. Nadwi later wrote Nadvi a letter from India with his appreciation and comments.

Reception

Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi described the book as a miracle of scholarship.
