everything fell into place and I was able to complete this essay, which forms the book ‘Deen-o-Shariat’ published in 2002, pp. 73-160.. On May 9, 2000, I received an invitation from Tanzeem Abnaa-e-Qadeem Darul Uloom Deoband. The invitation informed me of an international gathering titled “Al-Imam Muhammad Qasim Al-NanautawiSeminar”, scheduled to take place in New Delhi from May 20-22, 2000. The organizers invited me to participate in the opening session as a guest of honour and to deliver a speech on the “Madrasa Movement in India”. Subsequently, several scholars from Delhi, such as Maulana ‘Ameed uz-Zaman Kairanwi, Maulana Muhammad Mazammil Haq Al-Husseini, Maulana Badr uz-Zaman Qasmi, and Maulana Waris Mazhari Qasmi, among others, met with me. They specifically emphasized the importance of this work. Motivated by their encouragement, I finally made the decision to undertake the task, began my study, and started writing on the subject. The speech I initially prepared to present at the mentioned seminar was only 10 pages long. However, as I conducted further research on the topic, it continued to expand, eventually resulting in this 80-page essay. Wahiuddin Khan New Delhi INTRODUCTION
