QUOTE
CHINIOT: Renowned scholar, leader of the International Khatm-e-Nabowat Movement and former MPA Maulana Manzoor Ahmed Chinioti died of kidney failure on Sunday. He was 80.
Maulana Chinioti has been suffering from kidney problem for the last six months. On the advice of doctors and request from the Sharifs two weeks ago, he was admitted to the Sharif Medical City, Lahore, where he was treated for two weeks. But, his kidneys stopped functioning on Sunday, which resulted in his death.
The News here looks back on his life: Maulana Chinioti completed his Arabic Fazil and established a religious school named Jamia Arabia, Chiniot, and started teaching there. Later, he set up another alma matter, Idara Markazia Dawat Wal, which has imparted religious education to thousands of students.
Maulana Chinioti was an important figure of the Pakistan National Alliance (PNA) in 1977. He played a key role in Tehrik-e-Nizam-e-Mustafa against the Bhutto government. He had been arrested several times during the movement.
He was an active figure in the Khatm-e-Nabowat Movements of 1973 and 1984. He also founded the International Khatm-e-Nabowat Movement, which was meant to curb the anti-Islamic activities. He authored several books on Khatm-e-Nabowat as well.
He challenged the last leader of Qadianis named Mirza Tahir Ahmed to a Mubahila, but the latter did not turn up. When the Mirza shifted his Jamaat head office to London, Maulana Chinioti chased him and went to London and challenged him to a Mubahila at Hyde Park, London. But, the Mirza did not come there.
Maulana Chinioti was elected MPA three times in 1985, 1988 and 1997. He also remained chairman of Chiniot municipal committee. Rabwah, a town near Chiniot, headquarters of the Qadianis was renamed as Chenab Nagar as a result of Maulana Chinioti’s movement.
Maulana Chinioti frequently visited Saudi Arabia as he had close terms with the King family of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government has declared him a visa-free personality. Maulana Chinioti was also a visiting professor of the Jamia Tul Madina (Madina University).
Meanwhile, all the bazaars and markets at Chiniot remained closed as a mark of respect to the late Maulana. Maulana Chinioti’s funeral prayers will be held at 8am on Monday morning (today) at the Govt Islamia College, Chiniot.
One thing this quote did not mention was the fact that he did NOT marry twice as his wife died and he did not marry coz he thought that second wife would never treat his children the same or would not love 'em as much.
Keep in mind that he was very young when his wife died and he could have easily married more than once, not many ppl r like him.
I have been to his madrasa many times and went to house on some occasions.
A GREAT GREAT MAN PASSED AWAY
