Had he not been in embassy he would have been an exemplary scholar, he said. Prof. Ziaul Hasan Nadwi, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Languages, Jamia Millia Islamia called him a sparkling star of Deoband and said that he was a true representative of Deoband’s great scholars and an embodiment of knowledge and character.
