Timeline

1904

Islahi was born in 1904 at Bamhur village in Azamgarh, United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh), British India (now India).

1922

After graduating from Madrasatul Islah in Azamgarh in 1922, he entered the field of journalism.

He was the son in law of Chaudhry Abdul Rehman Khan.

First he worked as an associated editor in "Khoonch" a children magazine.

Then he edited a newspaper Madinah at Bijnor, India and also remained associated with "Sach", a newspaper taken out by Abdul Majid Daryabadi.

1925

In 1925 Hamiduddin Farahi invited Islahi to study the Qur’an with him and Islahi left his journalistic career to do so.

He learned from Farahi the principles of direct deliberation on the Book of Allah.

During this time, he also taught the Qur’an and Arabic literature at the Madrasah.

After Farahi's death, Islahi studied Hadith from the scholar Abdu’l Rahman Muhaddith Mubarakpuri.

1936

In 1936, Islahi founded the "Daira-i-Hamidiyyah", a small institute to disseminate the Qur’anic thought of Farahi.

Under the auspices of this institute, he brought out a monthly journal "Al-Islah" in which he translated many portions of Farahi's treatises written in Arabic.

1939

The journal was published until 1939, after which it was discontinued.

1941

Like Naeem Siddiqui, Manzoor Nomani and Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi, Islahi was among the founder members of the Jamaat-e-Islami, a religious party founded by the eminent Islamic scholar Abul A'la Maududi in 1941.

During his seventeen-year stay in the party, he represented the intellectual element and remained a member of the central governing body, Majlis-i-Shura.

During this period, he did the groundwork needed to write a commentary of the Qur’an – an objective which he had set before him early in life.

1956

In 1956 the Government of Pakistan set up the Islamic Law Commission and Islahi – an expert on Islamic law – served as a member until the commission was abolished in 1958 by the martial law regime of General Ayub Khan.

1958

In 1958, he quit the party after serious differences arose between him and Mawdudi over some policy differences.

Islahi considered participating in elections a useless exercise for the purposes of bringing about an Islamic change.

His thinking simply was that politicians can not establish Islam.

Many politicians' aim is to gain power by any means necessary.

He thought that if some people use the name of Islam, they do so to achieve their own political objectives.

In his view, those who would like to work for the cause of Islam and its revival should work among people selflessly, without any desire for gaining power.

These workers should approach the people only to serve them, to educate them, and to help them reform their lives morally in the Islamic way of life.

After leaving the Jamaat-e-Islami, he began writing a commentary of the Qur’an.

He also launched a monthly journal Mithaq in which portions of this commentary, Tadabbur-i-Qur’an were published.

1961

In 1961 he established a small study circle, Halqa-i-Tadabbur-i- Qur’an, for college students to whom he taught Arabic language and literature, the Qur’an and Sahih Muslim.

1965

In 1965, an incident brought an end to both the journal and the study circle: Islahi's eldest son Abu Saleh died in a plane crash.

However, work on the commentary continued.

1970

In 1970–71, Islahi fell severely ill and had to discontinue all his intellectual pursuits but he later recovered.

1972

In 1972, he moved to a country village near Sheikhupura where he continued to work on the commentary till 1979, when he returned to Lahore.

1980

On the 29th of Ramadan 1400 (August 12, 1980) he finished Tadabbur-i-Qur’an after twenty-two years of work.

1981

In 1981 Islahi founded the Idara-i-Tadabbur-i Qur’an-o Hadith and appointed his close pupil Khalid Masud as first Nazim of this Idara (institution), which later came under the supervision of Abdullah Ghulam Ahmed in Lahore, Pakistan.

A quarterly journal, Tadabbur, was taken out in 1981 as its organ.

1997

Amin Ahsan Islahi (مولانا امین احسن اصلاحی; 1904 – 15 December 1997), was a Pakistani Muslim scholar best known for his Urdu exegesis of the Quran, Tadabbur-i-Quran "Pondering on the Quran", which he based on Hamiduddin Farahi's (1863 – 1930), idea of thematic and structural coherence in the Qur'an.

It remained the centre of all his intellectual activities until his death on 15 December 1997.

2003

Khalid Masud was appointed its first editor and in charge till his death in Oct 2003.

He gave weekly lectures on the text of the Qur’an.

Later he took up deep study on the principles of Hadith and began teaching the Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik in weekly sittings to a close circle of students and associates.

After completing Al-Muwatta, he also taught some portions of Imam Bukhari's Sahih Bukhari.

Many of these lectures have been transcribed and published in the Tadabbur.
