## Life sketch

Badre Alam was born in 1898 in a [Sayyid](/source/Sayyid) family in the [Budaun district](/source/Budaun_district) of Uttar Pradesh.[4] His father, Tahur Ali, served as a police officer.[2] He received his initial education at an English school in [Aligarh](/source/Aligarh), and influenced by a sermon of [Ashraf Ali Thanwi](/source/Ashraf_Ali_Thanwi) at the age of eleven, he developed an inclination towards [Islamic studies](/source/Islamic_studies).[5] Despite initial resistance from his father, he pursued religious education at [Mazahir Uloom](/source/Mazahir_Uloom).[2]

Under the mentorship of [Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri](/source/Khalil_Ahmad_Saharanpuri) for eight years, followed by further studies at [Darul Uloom Deoband](/source/Darul_Uloom_Deoband) with [Anwar Shah Kashmiri](/source/Anwar_Shah_Kashmiri), he continued his educational journey.[2] His notable teachers at Mazahir Uloom included [Zafar Ahmad Usmani](/source/Zafar_Ahmad_Usmani), and at Deoband, [Aziz-ul-Rahman Usmani](/source/Aziz-ul-Rahman_Usmani) and [Asghar Hussain Deobandi](/source/Asghar_Hussain_Deobandi).[6] After completing his studies at Darul Uloom Deoband, he began teaching there in 1925.[7][8]

In 1927, he, along with Anwar Shah Kashmiri and Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, migrated to [Jamia Islamia Talimuddin](/source/Jamia_Islamia_Talimuddin).[4] For seventeen years, he engaged in teaching hadith at Jamia Islamia Talimuddin, covering texts such as *[Sunan al-Tirmidhi](/source/Sunan_al-Tirmidhi)*, *[Shama'il al-Muhammadiyya](/source/Shama'il_al-Muhammadiyya)*, and *[Mishkat al-Masabih](/source/Mishkat_al-Masabih)*.[9] He also continued participating in Anwar Shah Kashmiri's classes on *[Sahih al-Bukhari](/source/Sahih_al-Bukhari)* and *[Sunan al-Tirmidhi](/source/Sunan_al-Tirmidhi)* for five years.[10]

After [Dabhel](/source/Dabhel), he moved to [Bahawalnagar](/source/Bahawalnagar), Punjab, established Jam'ul Uloom, and stayed for a year there. He then came to [Delhi](/source/Delhi) and became associated with [Nadwatul Musannifeen](/source/Nadwatul_Musannifeen) in 1943.[11] After the [partition of India](/source/Partition_of_India) in 1947, he migrated to Karachi, Pakistan, and, under the patronage of Shabbir Ahmad Usmani founded Jamia Islamia at [Tando Allahyar](/source/Tando_Allahyar_District).[12] Following Pakistan's formation, he actively participated in the formulation of an Islamic constitution.[13]

After residing for four years in Pakistan, he migrated to [Medina](/source/Medina).[14] [Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda](/source/Abd_al-Fattah_Abu_Ghudda) met him in Medina, benefited from him,[15] and later narrated hadiths from him.[16]

Known as Qutb al-Aarifeen,[17] he received [Sufi](/source/Sufism) teachings from Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri, associated with Aziz-ul-Rahman Usmani, and ultimately received spiritual succession from Muhammad Ishaq Merathi.[18] He died on 29 October 1965, in [Prophet's Mosque](/source/Prophet's_Mosque), and was laid to rest in [Al-Baqi Cemetery](/source/Al-Baqi_Cemetery).[19] His influence extended to Pakistan, India, South Africa, and the Middle East.[20]

## Literary works

He scrutinized the intricacies of the Quran and hadith, expressing an understanding of [Arabic literature](/source/Arabic_literature) and poetry.[21] His literary works touched various religious subjects. Apart from [*Fayd al-Bari*](/source/Fayd_al-Bari_ala_Sahih_al-Bukhari) and *[Tarjuman al-Sunnah](/source/Tarjuman_al-Sunnah)*, he authored the three-volume *Jawahir al-Hikam*, addressing contemporary social issues and the implementation of [Islamic law](/source/Sharia) in 1965, translated into French and Gujarati.[22][6] His annotations for *Fayd al-Bari*, published as *Al-Badr Al-Sari*.[23] He wrote an abstract of [Rashid Ahmad Gangohi](/source/Rashid_Ahmad_Gangohi)'s book *Zubdat-ul-Manāsik* under the title *Khulasa Zubdat-ul-Manāsik*, a guide on [Hajj](/source/Hajj) issues.[24] One of his books on the [descent of Jesus](/source/Jesus_in_Islam#Second_Coming) is called *Nuzool-e-ʿĪsā*, and he has written a booklet in the same series called *Awaz-e-Haq*.[24] During his time in Pakistan, he translated [Ali al-Qari](/source/Ali_al-Qari)'s *Al-Hizb al-Azam* and wrote some poetry.[6]
