Hadrat Mawlana Hakim Muhammad Akhtar

Hakim Muhammad Akhtar (1928 – 2 June 2013), a distinguished Pakistani Sunni Muslim scholar, poet, philanthropist, and Sufi mentor, left an indelible mark on Islamic scholarship and spiritual guidance. Born in Pratapgarh in 1928, he embarked on a journey of knowledge and spirituality that would define his legacy.

Educated at the State Unani Medical College in Allahabad, where he studied under the guidance of Hakim Ahmad Usmani, Akhtar demonstrated a keen interest in Islamic sciences. He furthered his education at the Madrasa Bait-ul-Uloom in Sarai Mir, completing the traditional dars-e-nizami in four years. Under the tutelage of Abdul Ghani Phulpuri, a student of Majid Ali Jaunpuri, Akhtar delved into the study of the Sihah Sittah, fostering a deep connection with Sufism.

The spiritual journey of Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar led him to esteemed mentors, including Abdul Ghani Phulpuri, Abrarul Haq Haqqi, and Muhammad Ahmad Pratapgarhi. Authorized in the Ashrafia, Chistiyyah, Naqshbandiyah, Qadiriyyah, and Suhrawardiyya orders of Sufism by Haqqi, Akhtar carried the torch of spiritual enlightenment.

In 1960, Akhtar migrated to Pakistan with his Sufi mentor Abdul Ghani Phulpuri. Following the wishes of Abrarul Haq Haqqi, he established the "Khanqāh Imdādiya Ashrafiya" in Karachi in 1980, a spiritual center that later expanded its reach to Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Mauritius, Myanmar, Réunion, South Africa, and Turkey.

A significant milestone in Akhtar's contributions to Islamic education was the establishment of the Jamiah Ashraful Madāris in Gulistan-e-Johar, Karachi, in 1998. This renowned seminary stands as a testament to his commitment to nurturing the next generation of scholars.

On 2 June 2013, Hakim Muhammad Akhtar departed from this world in Karachi. His funeral, led by his son Hakeem Muḥammad Mazhar, was attended by prominent scholars, including Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, Aurangzaib Farooqi, Mufti Muhammad Naeem, Muhammad Rafi Usmani, Saleemullah Khan, and Zar Wali Khan.

About The Publisher

Nur Publisher

Embark on a captivating journey with Nur Publisher, a timeless legacy that unfolded in the summer of 1970 under the visionary guidance of Dr. Osman Birgeoglu, the esteemed founder of Nur Publishers. Driven by a deep-seated desire to share Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's profound wisdom with the world, Dr. Birgeoglu initiated a transformative mission that has left an indelible mark on spiritual seekers globally.

In the pivotal summer of 1973, the translation of the Biography of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi marked the inaugural achievement of Nur Publishers, crystallizing the commitment to making Risale-i Nur accessible to English-speaking audiences. This milestone prompted the creation of "Nur the Light" magazine in July 1974, a dynamic response to the growing demand for swift and widespread dissemination of Risale-i Nur's profound insights across 70 countries.

Collaborative efforts by dedicated individuals like Suleyman Kurter, Ali Ucar, and Hasan Kondu played a vital role in the success of Nur Publishers. In 1975, Dr. Birgeoglu and Hasan Kondu's relocation to California marked a significant chapter, aligning forces with Dr. Hamid Algar and Mehmet Firinci, fostering a period of prolific publication.

The founding of the Risale-i Nur Institute of America in 1975 became the nucleus for the grand goals envisioned by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. Nur Publishers emerged as a vital branch committed to the printing and dissemination of the Risale-i Nur collection. The subsequent establishment of the Nursi School of Theology in 2011 solidified the dedication to sharing the treasures and truths of Risale-i Nur with the world.

Contributions from Dr. Hamid Algar until 1985 and the subsequent stewardship of Sukran Vahide have been integral in ensuring the accessibility of Risale-i Nur in English. Sukran Vahide's quarter-century commitment to the service has made her translations highly sought after by readers worldwide.
