Fatawa Alamgiri Translation CrowdFund

Indians lost major civilisational wars in the past 1000 years because they did not have ‘shatru bodh’, or a sense of the enemy. The reason was a lack of ‘purva paksha’, or analytical research into the doctrines of those who sought to destroy us and our civilisation.

The foremost doctrine that governs the life of Muslims of the sub-continent is not the foundational text of the Shariat or the Qur’an but that of the Fatawa Alamgiri, which was got compiled by Aurangzeb under 2 Naqshbandi scholars - Sheikh Nizam Burhanpuri, and Shah Abdul Rahim (father of Shah Waliullah). Surprisingly, this text is only in Urdu and is not available in any Indian language. Even in English, it is not available except one or two volumes.

It is a voluminous text and would require many years of labour to translate. We have set up a team to do a Hindi translation. The expenses would go to the tune of nearly 50 lakhs over 2-3 years. This donation page seeks funds to start and sustain this purva paksha activity. This donation page is to request all our patrons to contribute towards this effort.
