SHAYKH MAULANA HAMDULLAH JAN DAJVI(DB)
Shaykh Maulana Hamdullah Jan(db) was born in a village called Dagai, near Sawabi, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa in about 1904. He is the son of the well known Religious Scholar Maulana Abdul Hakeem(RA) who along with his brother Molana Muhammad Siddiq(RA), was the student of Shaykh Ul Hind(RA) and a a friend and class fellow of Anwar Shah Kashmeeri(RA). They completed their education from Deoband. His father died when he was not born as yet and when he was about 6 years old, his mother passed away as well. He remained in the care of the five of his sisters after that.
He started his primary schooling at Government Primary School, Dagai/Yarhussain. He learnt basic tajweed and Nazra of the Quran from his sister. He learnt the very initial topics of Darse Nizami from his brother in-law Qazi Aman Ullah (RA), a well known alim of his time. After primary Islamic education, he went to study with the Honorable Sahibe Haq Zarobi(RA)(Father of Mufti e Azam Pire Tareeqat Rahbare Shariat Mufti Fareed(RA)) in Zarobi and then in Mardan. For higher education and takhsees he traveled to Saharanpur in present day India, to join one of the most popular Islamic Universities(Madaris) in the world. He became the student of the Honorable Shaykh ul Hadees Maulana Zakriya (RA). He was in Saharanpur in during the Pakistan Movement. He was so sharp during his student days that all his class fellows used to surround him after classes and he used to give them a lecture on any topic that they wanted. He had a photographic memory. After completing his studies in Saharanpur, Hazrat Shaykh returned to his mother town and started teaching individually in a masjid that his father had founded. When people came to know that the son of Molana Abdul Hakeem(RA) and nephew of Molana Muhammad Siddiq(RA) has started teaching, they traveled towards him from far away parts of the world. He would never reject teaching a student thus a time came when he alone used to teach 48 subjects everyday. He recalls that in those days, he used to visit his house for only 2 hours to take a short nap. Seeing this, his friends suggested that he started Mazhar ul Uloom. After some time he founded the Darul Uloom ul Arabia Mazahr Al Uloom, Dagai (University) which became popular for its foreign students and challenging studies. During the Soviet Occupation and the American Occupation, Hazrat played his part by going out into Afghanistan and urging Muslims to fight for their land and freedom. Many of the students of Maulana Hamdullah Jan became part of the perfect Islamic Khilafat government of Afghanistan. During the Khilafat , he was in Afghanistan and was the Shaykh Ul Hadees of Jamia Farooqia. His tafseere Quran & tafseere Bukhari was broadcasted on 'radio shariat' for 1.5 years. Maulana also played his part in the Jihad in Kashmir ! He also remained very much involved in politics and governing the country. He participated in two elections from the platform of JUI in 1970, giving a tough time to Ameer Zada Khan of ANP. He lost the election by a few hundred votes. It became popular that ANP was involved in a major plot of fake votes in women polling stations. In 1988 he competed from the platform of IJI(Islami Jamhuri Ittehad) representing JUI. He lost this election by 78 votes. 3765 of his votes were rejected due to double impression. After the result of both of these elections, he said, "AlhamdulILLAH, ALLAH has freed me of this test!". Nowadays, he is popularly known to be a central leader of Jamiate Ulmae Islam(JUI). Parallel to his Ilm and politics, respected Sahykh also continued his tazkiyah in Tasawwuf and reached a stage where he received Ijazah in all four silsilas of Tasawwuf from Pirsabaq Pir Sahib (RA). Many of his students have at many stages pointed out signs of Wilayat in him. Indeed, he is a fountain of knowledge, spirituality and guidance. Many people only know one Religious leader of such intellect! May ALLAH(SWT) bless us and him with a long, healthy life(Umre Nuh(AS)). May ALLAH grant him highest stages of Qurb! |
