== Early life and background ==
Fazl-e-Haq Deobandi was born into a [[Sayyid]] family of the [[Rizvi]] lineage in [[Deoband]]. He was a disciple of [[Muhammad Qasim Nanautavi]], the co-founder of [[Darul Uloom Deoband]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rizwi |first1=Syed Mehboob |author1-link=Syed Mehboob Rizwi |translator= Murtaz Hussain F Qureshi |volume= 2 |title=History of Dar al Ulum Deoband |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/2VolumeBookOnTheHistoryOfDarAlUlumDeoband/HistoryOfTheDarulUloomDeoband-VolumeTwo1981/page/n180/mode/1up |year=1981 |publisher=Idara-e-Ehtemam |location=Darul Uloom Deoband |edition=1st|page=168|chapter=Haji Sayyid Fazl Haque Deobandi|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Qasmi |first=Muhammadullah |author-link=Muhammadullah Khalili Qasmi|url=https://archive.org/details/darul-uloom-deob-ki-jamey-wa-mukhtasar-tareekh-edition-2/page/n501/mode/1up |title=Darul Uloom Deoband Ki Jame O Mukhtasar Tareekh |publisher=Shaikh-Ul-Hind Academy |edition=2nd|date= October 2020 |location=India |language=ur|oclc=1345466013|page=501}}</ref> Before joining the seminary, he worked for a long period in the [[Saharanpur]] government education department. His administrative skills played a crucial role in the early functioning of Darul Uloom Deoband.{{Sfn|Qasmi|2020|p=501}}{{Sfn|Asim|2019|p=212}}

== Role at Darul Uloom Deoband ==
Fazl-e-Haq Deobandi was among the founding members of the advisory council (''Majlis-e-Shura'') of [[Darul Uloom Deoband]] and remained a member from 1283 AH to 1311 AH (1866–1893).{{Sfn|Qasmi|2020|pp=73, 501, 746, 753}} He was responsible for administrative tasks and played an important role in the seminary's early operations.{{Sfn|Qasmi|2020|p=501}} After the establishment of the seminary, the first public donation appeal was issued on 19 Muharram 1283 AH under his supervision as the head administrator (''Sarbarāh-e-Kār'') of the institution. This was before he was appointed as the rector (''Muhtamim'') of [[Darul Uloom Deoband]].{{Sfn|Qasmi|2020|p=501}}{{Sfn|Qasmi|2020|p=501}}

=== Appointment as rector ===
In 1893 (Sha'ban 1310 AH), following the resignation of [[Sayyid Muhammad Abid]] as the rector (''Muhtamim'') of [[Darul Uloom Deoband]], Deobandi was appointed as his successor. He served in this capacity for approximately one year before resigning in Dhu al-Qa'dah 1311 AH (1894 AD). Prior to this appointment, he had served the institution for many years as the head administrator under the leadership of Abid.{{Sfn|Rizwi|1981|p=168}}{{Sfn|Qasmi|2020|pp=501, 747}}<ref>{{cite book |last=Sagar|first=Ali Hasan|title=Tareekh-e-Deoband: Ek Tehqeeq|trans-title=History of Deoband: A Study|date=11 May 2016|publisher=Sagar Prakashan|location=Mori Teliyan, Deoband|page=219|language=ur}}</ref>

The manuscript was systematically arranged, covering Nanautavi's life from birth to death, including details about his illness, funeral, and condolences received.<ref>{{cite book |last=Asim |first=Obaid Iqbal |author-link=Ubaid Iqbal Asim |title=Deoband Tarikh-o-Tehdheeb Ke Aayine Mein |publisher=Naeemia Book Depot |year=2019 |edition=1st |location=Deoband |page=212 |language=ur |trans-title=Deoband in the mirror of history and civilization}}</ref>{{Sfn|Qasmi|2020|p=501}}
