Kulliyat-E Khutbat-E Sir Sayyid : The Complete Lectures Of Sir Sayyid – 3 Volumes (Urdu)

Book Details:

Kulliyāt-e Khutbāt-e Sir Sayyid (The Complete Lectures of Sir Sayyid) is a compilation of three volumes and captures 202 lectures of Sir Sayyid. The first lecture was on 5th Nov 1859 in Moradabad, and the last was on 3rd Jan 1898 at Aligarh, spanning 39 years. Cities covered include Agra, Aligarh, Allahabad, Amritsar, Azamgarh, Batala, Benares, Bhopal, Calcutta, Delhi, Ghazipur, Gorakhpur, Gurdaspur, Hyderabad, Jalandhar, Lahore, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Meerut, Mirzapur, Moradabad, Muzaffarnagar, Patiala, Patna, Rae Bareli, Shahjahanpur and even London in this vast journey of the legendary reformer and educationist. As the language used by Sir Sayyid was primarily Urdu and only two lectures were in Persian, this work is in Urdu, and a subsequent translation in other languages is on the cards. Earlier, only 98 lectures were compiled by Ismail Panipati in 1972 from Lahore. Therefore, 104 additional lectures are extracted from Aligarh Institute Gazette, Tahzib-ul Akhlaq, AIMEC reports, Scientific Society, and other primary sources.

Dr. Ata Khursheed of Maulana Azad Library, Aligarh Muslim University, has accomplished this monumental task. We were fortunate to celebrate the bicentenary birth celebrations of Sir Sayyid in 2017 and the centenary of AMU in 2020. But the need for such a book was of utmost importance for everyone. One must study the primary source, and lectures are the best medium as they convey the essence of any individual. The letters, articles and books are in some way or another, inclined towards a subjective approach. This book is a must, at least for every Alig as a student of the Aligarh Movement and for all non-Alig who want to understand the Vision and Mission of Sir Sayyid. Mr. Atif Hanif is instrumental in publishing and promoting this work as a team. Aligarh Movement Zindabad!
