Maulana has been devoted his entire life to presenting Islamic teachings in the style and language of the post-scientific era based on peace and spirituality.
Rediscovering Islam himself from its original sources, he has authored over 200 books on Islam, prophetic wisdom and peaceful co-existence in a multi-ethnic society. 1955 saw the publication of his first book "On The Threshold Of A New Era". His next work "Islam and modern challenges" or "God Arises" was the result of an exhaustive research, which was translated into various languages such as English, Arabic, Malay, Turkish, Hindi, Malayalam and Sindhi. Its Arabic version has been published under the title of Al-Islam Yatahadda and became popular throughout the Arab world. Now accepted as the standard on Islamic position on modern thought, it has been incorporated in the curricula of universities at over six Arab countries. Some of his other published works are: In Search of God, Islam Rediscovered, Man Know Thyself, Islam: The Voice of Human Nature, Quran: An Abiding Wonder. He is presently working on a Hadith compilation, his autobiography and is getting the Encyclopedia of Divine Wisdom compiled under his direction.
Realizing the need for the correct translation and commentary of the Quran, Maulana translated the Quran in Urdu along with commentary in the form of Tazkirul Quran. Its Hindi version has recently been published and its English version is under preparation. According to Maulana this will give to the world a correct English translation of the Quran, which gives the interpretation of the Quran in the modern idiom.
He established the Islamic Centre in Delhi in 1970 and launched Al-Risala, the monthly magazine, in Urdu in 1976. This magazine has done much to awaken in Muslims a new awareness of their social responsibilities. Thanks to the overwhelming response from modern youths, Al Risala was launched in English and Hindi respectively in February 1984 and December 1990. He continues to bring out this monthly on a regular basis and it is this magazine that is uniting Ambassadors of Peace and Spirituality worldwide.
