Muhammad Tahir Qasmi (1904 – October 4, 1952) was an Islamic scholar and educator, known for his contributions to Islamic education and literature in India. He was born in Deoband, India, to a distinguished family of scholars. His grandfather, Qasim Nanawtawi, was the founder of Darul Uloom Deoband, and his father, Hafiz Muhammad Ahmad, was a notable figure in the same institution.
Early Life and Education[edit]
Tahir Qasmi received his early education in the renowned seminary, Darul Uloom Deoband, where he also obtained his formal religious certification (sanad-e faraghat). Following this, he embarked on a journey of teaching and writing.[1] For two years, he taught Al-Mukhtasar al-Quduri (Hanafi Islamic Jurisprudence) and Mirqaat (Logic).[2]
Contributions and achievements[edit]
Tahir Qasmi's scholarly pursuits were diverse. He not only delved into traditional Islamic sciences but also pursued studies in medicine, mathematics and astronomy.[2] His exceptional administrative skills were evident in his various roles within Darul Uloom Deoband. He served as the head of the academic resources and library for six years, oversaw construction projects for three years, and managed the facility for culinary logistics and operations for five years.[1]
In addition to his administrative responsibilities, he also held the position of the head of the Department of Arts and Publications (Dar al-Sana') at Darul Uloom Deoband until his passing.[2] His last book, "Aqa'id ul Islam" was published ten days after his death.[1]
Legacy[edit]
On the night of October 4, 1952, Qari Tahir Qasmi recited the Islamic declaration of faith (Kalimah) before his death. He breathed his last shortly before three in the morning, leaving behind a legacy of scholarly excellence and administrative acumen. He was laid to rest in the Qasmi cemetery, alongside his forefathers.[2]
