Muhammad Ali (writer)

"Maulana Muhammad Ali" redirects here. For the Indian Muslim scholar, see Mohammad Ali Jouhar.

Muhammad Ali (/mɔːˈlɑːnə mʊˈhɑːməd ɑːˈl/; Arabic: محمد على; 1874 13 October 1951) was an Indian writer, scholar, and leading figure of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement.

Biography

Ali was born in Punjab, British India, in 1874. He obtained an M.A. in English and a LL.B. in 1899. He joined the Ahmadiyya Movement in 1897 and dedicated his life to the service of the movement as part of what he saw as a restored and pristine Islamic faith. Some Muslim scholars and jurists, on the other hand, have considered the Ahmadiyya to be outside of mainstream Islam or even heretical.[1]
