Early life and education
editSalman Nadwi was born in 1954, in the city of Lucknow. His lineage can be traced back to Muhammad's grandson Husayn ibn Ali. His mother was the niece of the Indian Islamic scholar Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi, from whom Salman Nadwi benefited greatly.[8][self-published source?]
He began his elementary education at a branch school of Darul-uloom Nadwatul Ulama where he memorised the Qur'an at an early age.[citation needed] After completing a middle school level education of Islamic studies, he matriculated to a graduate program at the college of Shari'ah and Usul al-Din in Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama. After graduation in 1974, he, alongside a group of other graduates, established the Jam'iat Shabab al-Islam (Organization of the Youth of Islam), an organisation that is considered today to be one of the largest and most active Islamic organisations in India.[9]
He completed a master's degree in Hadith (al-Hadith al-Sharif wa 'Ulumuhu) from Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in 1976.[citation needed] A year later, he was admitted into the college of Usul al-Din at the Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University and continued to pursue higher education in the field of Hadith.[citation needed] He received his master's degree in Hadith studies with high recognition in 1980. His dissertation, Jam' Alfaz al-Jarh wa 'l-Ta'dil wa Dirasatuha min Kitab Tahdhib al-Tahdhib li 'l-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, was completed under the supervision of the erudite hadith and usul scholar, 'Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah. Husaini benefited heavily from Abu Ghuddah in the field of hadith studies during his stay at the Jami'ah and was amongst his most distinguished and beloved students.[10][self-published source?]

Sunni Muslim army
editIn July 2014, Firstpost reported that Husaini wrote a letter to the Saudi government offering to raise a 500,000 strong militia of Sunni Muslim Indian youth that would be a part of a powerful global Islamic army. The army, he proposed, would fight Shia militants in Iraq, would "help Muslims in need" elsewhere and would become part of a Caliphate that he wants Saudis to set up for the Muslim ummah, the international Muslim community.[11]
