Kirmanis (3)

Azeemuddin Sahab’s last wife was the daughter of Hafiz Hameed. I don’t have her name. If someone does, please inform me so I can add it here.

She was mother of ZiaUddin Kirmani.


I called him Mamoon Abbu (MA)


He also had a sister, Ishtiaqun Nisa, He lived with her for a while. No details about her life can be found. He left her home after he got married to Warisun Nisa Suhrawardy who had been widowed earlier. But then she died very soon after her marriage to MA..



MA went to live with Shahabddin Mamooñ who was his half-brother. They lived together for a very long time and he was treated as a real-brother, always.



MA's 2nd wife was Sultana Ansari whom he met when he was teaching Arabic at a college and she was teaching there too.

His book: “A Lasting Messenger with a Lasting Message” had parts that General Zia said he should remove and he’d get the Prize Money that was offered each year. MA said he’d researched for years and was not going to remove anything. The book was never officially sold (except by a couple of small stalls). Shia booksellers did not want to keep it because they felt that his pieces on Hazrat Ali were not to their liking. The book had quotes in Arabic, too, whenever the book mentioned a piece in it's English or Urdu version. 


I was in UK and saw the books on sale outside a mosque. I wrote MA about this and he asked the publishers who (falsely) said to MA that they had no idea how it got there. 



I helped read and edited the script while I was in the Merchant Navy.

Here is the copy I was sent. 


Original Typewritten Script is with me


The English Version
was done again byTariq
as the old English Version
was fairly poorly done.


MA writes that this is An Unconventional Study

"To those who seek the truth
and are prepared to face it." 

Among the first pages of the book is this

"We make no distinction introspect of any one of His Apostles"
Quran: Baqr 285



The Urdu Edition


This was given to me by MA
