Abstract

Muslim leaders presented various schemes to uplift the religious, educational, social, economic and political conditions of the Muslims in British India. This article studies Mawlānā Ḥāmid Razā Khān’s speech in 1925 at the founding session of “All India Sunni Conference”, also known as “Jamīʻat-e-ʻĀlia al-Markaziah”. In this sermon, Ḥāmid Razā Khān highlighted the misery of the Indian Muslims and proposed reforms for improvements. He highlighted the need of Islamic education for the Muslims and active propagation of the Islamic values. He proposed a system of education from local to the federal levels. He was in favor of Muslim unity rather than making friendships with other nations. He presented a detailed strategy to handle the situation during the ongoing crises that Muslims were facing after the failure of Khilāfat Movement. He advised the Muslims to focus on vocational learning and business; to avoid from unnecessary spending and luxuries and proposed formation of a Bait al-Māl (public fund) for financing small businesses and needs.
