Timeline

1905

Mumtaz Husain, better known as Mumtaz Mufti (September 11, 1905 – October 27, 1995), was a writer from Pakistan.

Initially a religious skeptic influenced by authors like Freud, Havelock Ellis, Alfred Adler and Fyodor Dostoevsky, he would eventually come back to Islam through Sufism.

Critic Nasir Abbas Nayyar described his writing style as psychological realist.

Mumtaz Mufti was born Mumtaz Husain in Batala, Punjab (now in India).

He was the son of Muhammad Hussain and his first wife Sughra Khanum.

He was employed as a civil servant under British rule, having earlier started his career as a school teacher.

1947

Soon after the partition in 1947, he migrated to Pakistan with his family.

Mumtaz Mufti started writing Urdu short stories while working as a school teacher before 1947.

At the beginning of his literary career, he was considered, by other literary critics, a non-conformist writer having liberal views, who appeared influenced by the psychologist Freud.

Pakistan's famous writer Ashfaq Ahmed was one of his close friends.

According to Ashfaq Ahmed, Mufti used to read unpopular literature by a Swedish writer before 1947.

Mufti initially did not like the 1947 partition plan of British India, but changed his views later to become a patriotic Pakistani.

In his later life, he used to defend Islam and its principles.

His transformation from liberalism to Sufism was due to his inspiration from a fellow writer Qudrat Ullah Shahab.

Despite all the changes in his viewpoints, he did manage to retain his individual point of view and wrote on subjects which were frowned upon by the conservative elements in the society.

1961

The two phases of his life are witnessed by his autobiographies, Ali Pur Ka Aeeli (1961) and Alakh Nagri.

According to forewords mentioned in his later autobiography, Ali Pur Ka Aeeli: علی پور کا ایلی is an account of a lover who challenged the social taboos of his times, and Alakh Nagri is an account of a devotee who is greatly influenced by the mysticism of Qudrat Ullah Shahab.

The book Talaash ("Quest") was the last book written by Mumtaz Mufti.

It reportedly highlights the true spirit of Quranic teachings.

1995

His son, Uxi Mufti, a literary critic himself, created a Mumtaz Mufti Trust after his death in October 1995.

This trust has been observing Mumtaz Mufti's death anniversary events in different cities of Pakistan.

His friends and admirers, including Ashfaq Ahmed, Bano Qudsia and Ahmad Bashir have appeared as speakers at these events.

Another famous writer Kishwar Naheed comments in one of her book review that Mumtaz Mufti had plenty of human weaknesses but also appreciated him as a learned critic.

There is a road named after him in the city of Multan, Pakistan.
