==Legacy==
Commending Mumtaz Ali for ''Tehzeeb-e-Niswan'', Pakistani historian [[Ghulam Rasool Mehr]] said that, {{quote|The girls of Muslim families, from [[Peshawar]] to [[Kanyakumari]] who have a bit of understanding about reading and writing or have gained higher education or are studying, are undoubtedly indebted to Shams al-Ulama Mawlāna Mumtaz Ali, who sacrificed his whole life for the betterment and education of women. If he have had tried in political or religious sphere, he would have been a great leader of the country, but it would have delayed or deferred education and upbringing of the half of the Nation, because there is no second to Mawlāna in this field."<ref name="sahafat" />}}
