Muhammad Taqi Usmani

مفتی محمد تقی عثمانی

b. 1943 · Pakistan · Mufti, jurist, hadith scholar, Qurʾan translator and commentator

Muhammad Taqi Usmani was born in Deoband, India, in 1943 and moved to Karachi with his family after Partition. His father was Mufti Muhammad Shafiʿ, the Grand Mufti of Pakistan, and he studied at Dar al-ʿUlum Karachi, which his father founded. He later took an MA in Arabic literature at the University of the Punjab and an LLB at Karachi, and he is vice-president of Dar al-ʿUlum Karachi, where he also teaches hadith.

He is best known as a leading Deobandi scholar of fiqh, hadith and Islamic finance. He was a judge of the Federal Shariat Court from 1980 and of the Shariʿat Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan from 1982 to 2002. He is a permanent member of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy in Jeddah and chairs the Shariʿah board of AAOIFI, and he sits on the Sharia boards of many Islamic financial institutions. An Introduction to Islamic Finance is among his most widely read English works. His Urdu works include a commentary on Sahih Muslim, Takmila Fath al-Mulhim, a travelogue and many collections of talks and essays. His Urdu Qurʾan translation and commentary, Āsān Tarjuma-e-Qurʾān, was followed by Tafsīr-e-Tawḍīḥ al-Qurʾān. His English translation of the Qurʾan with explanatory notes, The Meanings of the Noble Qur’an, appeared in 2007.

Most of his writings remain in copyright. The archive links first to the free PDFs on his official site, muftitaqiusmani.com, and then to other free copies online; several full-text uploads of commercial books are kept hidden until you decide.
