Mufti Abul Kalam Qasmi: Gilded by success for his scholarly achievements By Muddassir Ahmad Qasmi
A well-known religious scholar, philanthropist and a household name, Maulana Badruddin Ajmal Al-Qasmi took a unique initiative in 1994. He got an inspiration from Almighty Allah to set up an institution to hone the skills of graduates of madrasas with English language and computer savviness. Today this institution Markazul Ma’arif Education and Research Center (MMERC), has gained considerable acceptance in its attempt to bridge the gap between ulama and mainstream Indian ethos. In a short span of time, a raft of ten institutions of India adopted the DELL (Diploma in English language and literature) course promoted by MMERC, most notably, Darul Uloom Deoband and Aligarh Muslim University, although the latter has given it a different shape.

It is heartening to note that everywhere, by the grace of Almighty Allah, MMERC alumni are doing their best for the sake of educational, social and cultural upliftment. Therefore, EC has been publishing a regular column on MMERC alumni’s achievements to set benchmarks for new graduates of Madrasas.
