Explanation

  • Sayyid Ahmad Khan called for the study of European science and technology. In 1866, he formed the British Indian Association. He stayed in England for more than a year, during 1869-70. On his return, he asked his Muslim brethren to adopt some positive features of the English society, like its discipline, order, efficiency and high levels of education.
  • He pointed out that there was no fundamental contradiction between Quran and Natural Science, and the new circumstances demanded dissemination of English language within an Islamic context.
  • He founded the Mohammedan Anglo Oriental College at Aligarh in 1875, which went on to become the most important seminary for modern higher education among Muslims. At the elementary level, students followed the standard government curriculum in a carefully constructed Islamic environment.
  • In 1878, the college classes were also started and non-Muslims were also enrolled. In 1886, Sayyid Ahmad Khan founded the Mohammadan Anglo Oriental Educational Conference. The Muslim graduates of Aligarh, who numbered 220 during 1882–1902, a provided lot of excitement to the Muslim intellectual world and in due course of time, provided an able and modern leadership to the community.
