If the prophet’s love will found then I will sell away my all

household things

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan

In the begining of the decade of 1860 when the Uttar

Pradesh English governor, Sir William Muir who wrote the
biography book of the prophet ‘Life of the Mohammed’ in
which he was added many of the themes of objection and
fictitious matters his book. From all over India to reply about the
book’s vulgar matter only one lover of the prophet who stood in
this cause. Todays thinkers of the Muslims community calls
him, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. How it is regret and it is matter of
 the grief and sadness that to give a efficacious reply to Sir
William Moore by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and who could not
find books in the subcontinent. So, for this reason, he was sold
away his household things. And he has visited England for this
purpose of a reference work of the books. When he was
working hard day and night in the libraries there and then he
able to prepare a great to book so for this reason, the tongue of
the William Moore has become silent in this matter.
Upon thinking this there will come tearing in the eyes that a
great thinker of the subcontinent went to England for the search
of the books on the biographical books of the last prophet of
Allah. It is also a matter of thinking that in among 20 corers
Muslims at that time there were big Nawabs, rulers and wealthy
persons there at that time. But like the lover of the prophet, Sir
Syed Ahmed Khan and for his holy mission, he was caused to
sell away his household things for this reason. Some of the
above rich and wealthy person of time in spite of helping Sir
Syed Ahmed Khan they have taunted him in this matter.
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was become silent by saying that “ It
will be a matter of great honor for him that in the other world,
angels will announce that “This is such person who has become
poor for respect and honor of his maternal grandfather.”
In fact, in this such worse condition of the Muslim nation if
there is left any such wealth is the love of the prophet.”
Oh, Sir Syed you are the founder of Aligarh University
As well you are the founder of the love of the prophet
