He was a man vested with a lot
of qualities. Basically he was an orator, but at the same time he was a highly
learned man. well versed in the art of transferring the thoughts of mind and
words of mouth to the paper. He had the gift of tongues, His command on the
Arabic Language was recognised by the great masters of the mother-tongue He.
started his literary-life by writing the biography of the leader of the
movement of the revival of iman and jihid by Hazrat Syed Ahmad Shaheed Barelwi and Shah Ismaeel Shaheed RAHMATULLAH A'LAIHE.
He sent this book to Maulana Muhammad Manzoor No'mani RAHMATULLAH A'LAIHE.. the compiler of the Urdu book •Malfoozat'.
who. after reading that book. asked him whether he wanted to do something or he
had just written the book. Then, these two young and courageous elders visited
different parts of the country (the sub-continent) in order to find out a
practical system of revivalism. This very search took them to the door of
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ilyas RAHMATULLAH A'LAIHE. . Here, the thirst of
their hearts quenched and their revivalist minds saw a way of practical work.
From here the new chapter of Maulana Ali Mian's life starts.
He was an early associate of the work of Tableegh,
who actually gave the movement much needed inter phase between mewat and outside mewat among scholars and Ulemas.In 1939 he met Maulana Ilyas and both recognised each other. Maulana Ilyas used to have utmost love and respect for him and it was vice versa. Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi R.A started taking formal and active participation along with Maulana Manzoor Nomani R.A and it helped much for spreading of work among Ulema and Madarsas.
With there participation the work got an interface at a time when other Ulemas were not much attentive to the work. Maulana Ilyas has always acknowledged it and always praised Maulana Ali Miyan. He stayed completely at Markaz Nizamuddin with Maulana Ilyas life last 2-3 month and was one of the most trusted person of Maulana Ilyas.
He has written the Biography of Maulana Ilyas "LIFE AND MISSION OF MAULANA ILYAS"
He travelled from
country to country to get the work of Tableegh recognised in the Arab-world and
to get the support of their learned people and dignitaries. In this regard, his
contribution is vital. He was in the 4th jama'at which was sent to Sa'udia on
July 6, 1947, in order to institute the work of Tableegh over there. An
important event of this journey was this that he wrote a booklet for presenting
the work of Da'wat to King Sa'ud, which was read out to his successor, and
which became the apparent source of getting his support for this work. This
removed that farness and 'aversion' which was present in royal circles for
Tableegh.
His second journey in this connection was in.the company of Hazrat
Raipuri RAHMATULLAH A'LAIHE. and many other elders. After performing Haj he
went to Egypt, then Sudan, and then Syria, and met important religious people,
state officials and dignitaries, and presented the work of Tableegh in detail.
He came back to India in October 1951.
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad llyas RAHMATULLAH A'LAIHE. always held him and his noble family in highest regard.
His (Maulana Ilyas) words about him:
', ..The benefit which has been caused to Tableegh by your
attentions, has not been caused by any ofthose who are attached with this work
until now. May Alltih direct your holy attentions more and more towards this
work. '- reflect his status in his sight.
He paid his due of companionship with Hazrat Maulana Muhammad lIyas R.A. by writing his biography 'Hazrat Maulana Muhammad lIyas and the Revival of Da'wa!'. No reference on any aspect of Tableegh is complete without this book. (Urdu book MAULANA ILYAS AUR UNKI DEENI DAWAT).
