Hakeemul Ummat

Hakeemul Ummat: Nuqoosh wa Tasurat (Urdu: حکیم الامت: نقوش و تاثرات) is a biographical work about Ashraf Ali Thanwi, authored by Abdul Majid Daryabadi, stemming from their mentor-disciple dynamic. Focused on Thanwi's last phase from 1927 to 1943, covering 16 years, this work was first published by Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy in 1956. It is considered a masterpiece in the Urdu biography genre. The title of the book is derived from Thanwi's title, 'Hakeemul Ummat,' translating to the spiritual physician of the Muslims. Daryabadi was a disciple of Thanwi, establishing his connection with him after overcoming skepticism towards religion. In this work, Daryabadi presents Thanwi from a human perspective, based on personal meetings, experiences, and observations.
