The book ‘A great benefactor of sub-continent Muslims: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’ thoughtfully and forthrightly written by Jamil Yousaf is by far the best on the subject. It presents an in-depth account of one of the architects of Muslims’ destiny in the sub-continent.
Drawing upon an extensive range of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s writings, speeches, and addresses, the writer offers a penetrating study that would stay as a guide to everyone interested in Sir Syed Ahmad Khan.
Many are not cognizant of quite a lot of fascinating aspects of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s personality. The book explores the life and amazing works of Sir Syed on the colonial law and administration, the concept of blasphemy, conversion, education, religious beliefs, freedom of the press, the emancipation of women, Hindu-Muslim unity, and Urdu-Hindi controversy in the wider setting of socio-political discussions.

Dr. Farhat Abbas not only writes great stuff but socially relevant one. Moreover, as a person, he contributes so much to society and to those who perhaps are less fortunate for a variety of reasons.
