URDU-6 Intellectual basis of Khanwada e Usmania(Badayun)

Abstract

The Khānwādah `Uthmāniah is counted among the studious tribes of the Sub-continent. The base of scholarly knowledge of Khānwādah `Uthmāniah is very strong, and the chain of continuity is constant throughout the thoughtful descent. The ancestors of the Khānwādah `Uthmāniah utilized the renowned and great centres of knowledge. In the academic history of Indo-Pak, the name of the Ulama-e-Farangi Mahal and the name of Ulama-e- Khair-Abad are most prominent. On the same token, advisors of the Khānwādah `Uthmāniah directly and indirectly acquainted with the Ulama-e-Farangi Mahal and Ulama-e- Khair-Abad extracted the knowledge. Therefore, scholarship of the Khānwādah `Uthmāniah could also be traced in the past through the history of Al-Azhar University, Egypt. Last but not least, the Quran Commentaries are the authentic credentials of the hadith and mysticism which are the evidentiary evidence of the inherited continued scholarship of Khānwādah `Uthmāniah.
