Life and works

Khan is the founder of Al-Nadwah Educational Trust, in Islamabad, Pakistan. He edited the journals Al-Nadwah and Al-Manad and then served as the editor of Al-Hamid, a monthly journal published by the Jamia Madaniyah in Lahore. He participated in the 1995 Pakistani coup d'état attempt and has been seen as a controversial figure within the religious circles since then. He regularly gave discourses at some of the garrison sessions and was encouraged by the then commander of X Corps.[1] He was arrested from Rawalpindi at that time[1] and was jailed for his activities during this operation.[2]

An article by Aezaz Syed on BBC Urdu states that, "Mustansir Billah had given him certain documents to destroy and later the army authorities also recovered from Mufti Saeed a copy of the speech which was to be delivered by Major General Zaheerul Islam Abbasi after taking over the power of the country. Mufti Saeed was the only person with these military officers who was aware of every issue."[2] Khan is known to have prepared this speech for Abbasi.[3] He is a member of the core-committee of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.[3]

Khan has been criticized about his theory regarding the establishment of Darul Uloom Deoband. He was attributed with a statement mentioning that the establishment of Deoband seminary was done with support from the British India government and that the government had given a plot to the seminary's founder. Khan issued a clarification in his book stating that, "In any private conversation, there is a possibility of mistakes in the four stages: speaking, listening and understanding and then drawing conclusions from this conversation. If my discussion about the first construction of Darul Uloom Deoband gives an impression that the seminary received a favor of the British government, not only that I completely deny this impression, but those who have got hurt due to this impression; I seek forgiveness from them and from Allah Ta'ala as well. After this explanation, I hope that the scholars will not be mistaken."[4]

Khan has taught Quranic exegesis and Islamic sciences at Wayne State University, the Islamic Center of Irving, and the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences.[5]

Khan solemnized the marriage ceremony of Imran Khan with Bushra Bibi.[6] [7]
