'''Zainul Abideen Azmi''' (1932–2013) was an Indian Islamic scholar, [[muhaddith]] (hadith specialist), jurist, and writer associated with the [[Deobandi]] tradition. He was educated at [[Darul Uloom Deoband]] and remained engaged with the teaching, transmission, and study of hadith and related Islamic sciences for nearly six decades.<br />
<br />
Azmi taught at a number of Islamic seminaries in different capacities, including advanced hadith instruction. In the later part of his career, he served at [[Mazahir Uloom Jadeed]], Saharanpur, where from 1995 until his death he headed the Department of Specialisation in Hadith. He also authored and edited several works in Arabic and Urdu, particularly in the fields of hadith studies and biographical criticism.<br />
<br />
== Early life and education ==<br />
Zainul Abideen Azmi was born on 30 October 1932 (1 Rajab 1351&nbsp;AH) in [[Kurthi Jafarpur|Pura Maroof]], Azamgarh district (present-day [[Mau district]]).{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|p=42}}{{Sfn|Khalili Qasmi|2020|p=740}}<br />
<br />
He received his early education up to ''Sharh Jami'' between 1938 and 1948 at Madrasa Maroofia in his native village. He then pursued further studies up to [[Al-Hidayah|Hidayah]] (Awwalayn) at Madrasa Ihyaul Uloom, [[Mubarakpur]].{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=42–43}}<br />
<br />
In 1949, Azmi enrolled at [[Darul Uloom Deoband]], where he completed the [[Dars-i Nizami|Dars-e-Nizami]] curriculum and graduated in 1953. During his time at Deoband, he studied hadith and other Islamic sciences, and also received instruction in tajwīd, qirāʾāt, and iftāʾ (jurisprudential writing).{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=44–47}}{{Sfn|Khalili Qasmi|2020|p=740}}<br />
<br />
His teachers at the Deoband seminary included [[Hussain Ahmad Madani]], [[Izaz Ali Amrohi]], [[Ibrahim Balyawi]], [[Fakhrul Hasan Moradabadi]], [[Naseer Ahmad Khan (scholar)|Naseer Ahmad Khan]], and [[Mahdi Hasan Shahjahanpuri]].{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=44–46}}<br />
<br />
Under Shahjahanpuri's supervision, Azmi received practical training in iftāʾ between 1370&nbsp;AH (1951) and 1379&nbsp;AH (1959), during which he drafted a number of legal opinions that were reviewed and issued with authorization; copies of these fatwas are preserved in the official iftāʾ registers associated with Shahjahanpuri.<ref>{{cite book |last=Azmi |first=Ishtiaq Ahmad |title=Awadh Mein Ifta ke Marakiz aur Unki Khidmat (Unniswin aur Beeswin Sadi Mein) |publisher=Sherwani Art Printers |year=2009 |location=[[Delhi]] |page=414 |language=ur |trans-title=Centers of Ifta in Awadh and Their Services (in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries)}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
After completing his studies, Azmi began his teaching career in June 1953. He initially taught at a junior madrasa in Aminpur, [[Shasan, North 24 Parganas|Shasan (24 Parganas)]], and briefly at a maktab in Khalespur, [[Azamgarh district|Azamgarh]]. On the recommendation of his teacher [[Izaz Ali Amrohi]], he then served for about a year at Madrasa Madinatul Uloom in Ikla Khanpur, [[Meerut district]].{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=47–48}}<br />
<br />
Between 1955 and 1958, he taught at a senior madrasa in Gomaphulbari, [[Kamrup district]], Assam, where he instructed advanced texts such as ''[[Tafsir al-Jalalayn]]'' and ''[[Mishkat al-Masabih]]''. He later returned to his alma mater, Madrasa Ihyaul Uloom, [[Mubarakpur, Azamgarh|Mubarakpur]], where he taught Arabic studies until 1970.{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=48–49}}<ref name="Mashāhīr">{{Cite book|last=Maroofi |first=Muhammad Usman |title=Mashāhīr-e-Pura Maroof|year=1976|publisher=Maktaba Usmania|location=Pura Maroof, Mau district|pages=79–81|chapter=Shaykh al-Ḥadīth, Qārī Maulana Zainul Abideen Sahib|chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/MashaheerEPooraMaroofMau/page/n78/mode/1up|language=ur}}</ref><br />
<br />
During this period, in addition to his teaching responsibilities, Azmi also continued his juristic work (iftāʾ) at Madrasa Ihyaul Uloom, Mubarakpur, between 1379&nbsp;AH (1959) and 1385&nbsp;AH (1965).{{Sfn|Azmi|2009|p=414}}<br />
<br />
After spending a year with the [[Tablighi Jamaat]], Azmi joined [[Madrasatul Islah]], Sarai Mir, where he served for nearly eight years as [[Shaykh al-Hadith]]. He also undertook juristic work there during 1392–1393&nbsp;AH (1972–1973).{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=48–50}}{{Sfn|Azmi|2009|p=414}}<ref name="Mashāhīr" /><br />
<br />
In 1981, he moved to Darul Uloom Chhapi in [[Banaskantha district]], Gujarat, and taught there for five years.{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=48–50}}<ref name="Mashāhīr" /><br />
<br />
He subsequently served as Shaykh al-Hadith at [[Jamia Mazharul Uloom, Banaras|Jamia Mazaharul Uloom]], Varanasi, for over nine years, retiring from that institution in 1993.{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|p=51}} Following his retirement, he taught for two years at Darul Uloom Sabeelus Salam, [[Hyderabad]].{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=51–52}}{{Sfn|Khairabadi|2013|pp=62–63}}<br />
<br />
In 1995, Azmi was appointed head of the newly established Department of Specialisation in Hadith at [[Mazahir Uloom Jadeed]], Saharanpur, a position he held until his death in 2013.{{Sfn|Qasmi|2013|pp=52–53}}<ref>{{Cite book |last=Saharanpuri |first=Muhammad Shahid |url=https://archive.org/details/Ulamaa-e-Mazahir-ul-Uloom-Saharanpur-107379/Ulamaa-e-Mazahir-ul-Uloom-Saharanpur-107379-WQB/page/n374/mode/1up |title=Ulama-e-Mazahir aur Unki Ilmi o Tasnīfi Khidmāt |publisher=Maktaba Yādgār-e-Shaikh |year=2005 |edition=2nd |volume=1 |location=[[Saharanpur]] |page=374 |language=ur}}</ref><br />
<br />
Under his supervision at Mazahir Uloom Jadeed, Saharanpur, several major research projects were undertaken within the Department of Specialisation in Hadith. These included critical editions of works such as Abdul Ghani al-Azdi's ''al-Mu'talif wa al-Mukhtalif fī Asmā' Naqalat al-Ḥadīth'' and ''Mushtabah al-Nisbah'', completed by postgraduate students of the department.<ref name="Yāsir">{{Cite journal |last=Abdullah |first=Muhammad Yasir |date=September 2016 |editor1-last=Iskander |editor1-first=Abdur Razzaq |title=Uloom-e-Hadīth Mein Ikhtisās: Ahmiyat-o-Zaroorat |trans-title=Specialization in Hadith Sciences: Importance and necessity |url=https://www.banuri.edu.pk/bayyinat-detail/%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%88%D9%85-%D8%AD%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%AB-%D9%85%DB%8C%DA%BA-%D8%A7%D8%AE%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%B5-%D8%A7%DB%81%D9%85%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D9%88%D8%B6%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%AA |journal=[[Bayyināt]] |language=ur |location=Banuri Town, Karachi |publisher=[[Jamia Uloom-ul-Islamia]] |volume=79 |issue=10 |page=39 |editor1-link=Abdur Razzaq Iskander}}</ref> In addition, the department carried out the critical edition of [[Muhammad al-Rudani|al-Rudani]]'s ''Jam' al-Fawā'id min Jāmi' al-Uṣūl wa Majma' al-Zawā'id'' under his supervision, of which eight volumes have since been published.{{Sfn|Khalili Qasmi|2020|p=741}}<ref name="Yāsir" /><br />

=== Spiritual affiliation ===<br />
In 1953, Azmi entered into a spiritual relationship ([[bay'ah]]) with [[Hussain Ahmad Madani]]. After Madani's death, he later turned to [[Zakariyya Kandhlawi]] for spiritual guidance. In 1406&nbsp;AH (1986), he formally pledged allegiance (bayʿah) to Abdul Jabbar Azmi Maroofi, from whom he was granted authorization ([[khilafah]]) within a short period.{{Sfn|Maroofi|2014|p=20}}{{Sfn|Khairabadi|2013|p=20}}<br />

Azmi was married three times. His first marriage took place in Shawwal 1369&nbsp;AH (1960), and his first wife died in 1385&nbsp;AH (1965). He remarried in the same year; his second wife died in 1405&nbsp;AH (1985). In Shaʿban 1406&nbsp;AH (1986), he entered into his third marriage.{{Sfn|Khairabadi|2013|pp=212–216}}<br />
