'''Abdul Salam Nadwi''' (16 February 1883 – 4 October 1955) was an Indian Islamic scholar, historian, and writer of the 20th century. He was among the early students of [[Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama]] and a close disciple of [[Shibli Nomani]]. For much of his career, he was associated with the [[Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy]] in Azamgarh, where he worked for several decades.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Abdul Salam Nadwi was born on 16 February 1883 in Alauddin Patti, a village in [[Azamgarh district|Azamgarh]], India. He received his early education at local institutions before joining Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in 1906. There, he studied under Shibli Nomani and began his training in research and writing. In the same year, he wrote an essay on the Hindu doctrine of transmigration, which was published in the magazine ''[[Al-Nadwa]]''.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Nadwi |first=Ajmal Farooq |date=2025 |title=Shida-ye-Ilm Maulana Abdul Salam Nadwi (ra) |url=https://tameerehayat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Tameer-e-Hayat-10-August-2025.pdf |journal=[[Tameer-e-Hayat]] |volume=62 |issue=19 |pages=12–14 |issn=2582-4619}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 1909, Nadwi was appointed as a teacher at Nadwa. In 1912, he traveled to Calcutta with [[Maulana Azad|Abul Kalam Azad]] and worked with him on the newspaper [[Al-Hilal (newspaper)|''Al-Hilal'']]. Following the closure of ''al-Hilal'' and the death of Shibli Nomani, Nadwi joined the newly established [[Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy]] in 1914, where he remained active until his death in 1955.<ref name=":0" /><br />
