You are an idiot!

Do you agree that maulana Abul Kalam Azad was a qualified Maulvi.

Azad received his first lesson from the *Sheikh-ul-Haram* at the age of five.
His first teacher was his maternal aunt.
During his stay in Makkah, he completed the Quran and memorized several *Surahs*.
Sheikh Hasan was a distinguished *Qari* (reciter) at the Haram, and Azad learned the art of Quranic recitation from him.

Back in Calcutta, He received his education at home from renowned scholars and experts.
He studied *Jami' Tirmidhi* under the supervision of experts in *Hadith*.
In 1902, at the age of 15 or 16, he completed the *Dars-e-Nizami* curriculum and graduated.

He mastered the art of debating against Christian missionaries. Whenever he learned of their presence, he would immediately go to them and engage in debate.

Testimony 1:

The OP of this thread is Maulana Azad (RA)'s own book, here is the link again

The old system of education for Muslims in India was that the boys were first taught Persian and then Arabic. When they had acquired some proficiency in the language, they were taught Philosophy, Geometry, Mathematics and Algebra in Arabic. A course of Islamic Theology was also required as an essential part of such education. My father had me taught at home, as he did not like to send me to any Madrasa. There was of course the Calcutta Maclrasa, but my father did not have a very high opinion of it. At first he taught me himself. Later he appointed different teachers for different subjects. He wished me to be taught by the most eminent scholar in each field.

Students who followed the traditional system of education normally finished their course at an age between twenty and twenty-five. This included a period when the young scholar had to teach pupils and thus prove that he had acquired mastery over what he had learnt. I was able to complete the course by the time I was sixteen, and my father got together some fifteen students to whom I taught higher Philosophy, Mathematics and Logic.

Testimony 2:

Maulana Saeed Ahmed Akbarabadi (RA) was a contemporary and he wrote on his personal account a brief sketch of Maulana Azad (RA)'s life.

kitabosunnat.com/kutub-library/molana-abul-ul-kalaam-azad...

On page 32, Maulana Saeed Ahmed Akbarabadi (RA) writes:

on Account of Maulana Azad (RA)'s own words in Indian wins Freedom it must be accepted that Maulana Azad (RA) never went to a formal Madrasa...

In other words, Maulana Azad (RA) studied locally and acquired some Islamic knowledge formally but never completed anything.

Because Indian Ulama and Indians are biased, they rage against Maulana Maududi (RA) but elevate the status of Maulana Azad (RA), the fact is that both were largely self-taught!

Unfortunately the biography I am quoting is compiled by a pakistani author, published from Lahore.

He didn't go to a madrasah.... agreed
He was home tutored.... verified
he completed the *Dars-e-Nizami* curriculum and graduated. Quoted by a pakistani biographer.

I was born in Mecca in 1888. In 1890, my father came to Calcutta with the whole family. Some time back he had fallen down in Jedda and broken his shin bone. It had been set, but not well, and he was advised that the surgeons in Calcutta could put it right. He had intended to stay only for a short time but his disciples and admirers would not let him go. A year after we came to Calcutta, my mother died and was buried there.

Dear Idiot

Maulana Azad (RA) himself writes that he came to India around the age of 2-3 and was taught at home!

Should we believe Maulana Azad (RA) writing about himself or Pakistani Author writing about him?

I quote from another book.

His father, Maulana Khairuddin, was a learned Islamic scholar who ensured that his son Ghulam Muhiuddin Ahmad received the best education in the field of Islamic learning and jurisprudence. Young Muhiuddin showed remarkable scholarship from a very early age, which is reflected by the fact that he completed the course of Dars-e-Nizamiah at the age of fifteen.

Any Details about above course?

فلسفہ، منطق، ریاضی are part of the Dars-e-Nizami curriculum. They are very difficult subjects; Azad taught them to students during his internship.
