I've taken inspirations from two scholars when it comes to Islamic history i.e. Professor Zafar Ahmad Nizāmi & Asīr Adrawi saheb.

Professor Nizāmi besides being JMI Head Professor of Political Science for years, errs in his book "Tarīkh-e-Hind: Ahd-i-Jadīd". He says about Mawlāna Gangohi that he was a student of Mawlāna Nanautawi and is buried in Deoband but it isn't right.

Asīr Adrawi besides having a good understanding of history, more being a prolific author, errs when it comes to dates.

For example, he says about Imām Abd al-Hayy Lakhnawi that he was 39 when he died. But gives his DOB and DOD as 1847 and 1915, which count upto 68 years.

But their works in the field of Islamic history are exemplar. Asīr has written History of JUH in 2 volumes, and written biographies of Nanautawi, Gangohi, Shaykhul Hind, Madani, Imām al-Dīn Punjabi & Rahmatullāh Kairānwi.

Nizāmi's books include:
Memārān-e-Jāmia i.e. The Builders of Jamia.
Hindustān ke chand siyāsi rahnumā
Zakir Hussain: A Pictorial Biography
Builders of Modern India: Hakīm Ajmal Khān

His “qalmī khāke” is beautiful example of his excellence in Urdu language.
