Biography
[edit | edit source]Muhammad Sufyan Qasmi was born on 26 September 1954 into the Siddiqi family of Nanauta.[4] His father Muhammad Salim Qasmi was former rector of Darul Uloom Waqf, Deoband, whilst his grandfather Muhammad Tayyib Qasmi remained vice-chancellor of the Darul Uloom Deoband for about half century.[5][6]
Qasmi graduated in traditional dars-e-nizami from the Darul Uloom Deoband in 1975.[7] He studied intermediate classes in private from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). He got a BA and an MA degree from the AMU in private and acquired an MA in Islamic theology from the Al-Azhar University.[8]
Qasmi began teaching at the Darul Uloom Waqf in 1983. He has taught the books of Hadith such as Sahih Bukhari and Tirmidhi along with other primary books of dars-e-nizami.[7][8] He served the seminary as the deputy rector for 12 years,[4] and was appointed the rector on 3 September 2014.[9] He is also a member of the executive council of All India Muslim Personal Law Board since 2007.[8]
Views on knowledge
[edit | edit source]Qasmi maintains the view that knowledge is a unit and it is wrong to divide it as Islamic and Non-Islamic. He argues that in Islam, knowledge can be grouped as profitable (نافع) and non-profitable (غیر نافع). [10]
