Abū al-Khayr Muḥammad Ayyūb ʿAlī al-Māturīdī (Arabic: أبو الخير محمد أيوب علي الماتريدي‎; 1919–1995), or simply Ayub Ali (Bengali: আইয়ূব আলী), was a Bangladeshi Islamic scholar, author and educationist.[2] He was awarded the Ekushey Padak in 1976 by the Government of Bangladesh.[3]

Early life and education[edit]

Ali was born in 1919,[4][5][note 1] to a Bengali Muslim family in the village of Telikhali in Firozpur, Backergunge District, Bengal Presidency. His father, Abdul Wahed, was a moulvi, and his mother, Abida Khatun, was a housewife.[3]

Ali received the Raja Kalinarayan Scholarship (one of the most prestigious scholarships at the university).[5] He obtained a second MA degree in Persian from the same university in 1950. He then studied at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt where he received his Alimiyyah Diploma in 1953 and Ph.D. in 1955.[3]

He then served as the principal of the Rajshahi Madrasa between 1958 and 1969, the Sylhet Government Alia Madrasah between 1970 and 1973,[6] and then at Government Madrasah-e-Alia, Dhaka from 1973 to 1979. He has written several books in English, Bengali and Arabic.[7][8] In 1976, he was awarded the Ekushey Padak by the Government of Bangladesh for his literary contributions.[3]
