Madani played a key role in cementing the Congress-Khilafat Pact in the 1920s and &amp;quot;Through a series of lectures and pamphlets during the 1920s and 1930s, Madani prepared the ground for the cooperation of the Indian Ulama with the Indian National Congress.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;SikkaPuriBeaman2015&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Sikka |first1=Sonia |last2=Puri |first2=Bindu |last3=Beaman |first3=Lori G. |author3-link=Lori G.

His work &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Muttahida Qaumiyat Aur Islam]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was published in 1938 and advocated for a united country, in [[opposition to the partition of India]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;PeersGooptu2017&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Peers |first1=Douglas M. |last2=Gooptu |first2=Nandini |title=India and the British Empire |date=2017 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=9780192513526 |quote=Madani, head for several decades of the Deoband training centre for theologians, strongly supported Congress nationalism and the ideal of a &amp;#039;composite nationalism&amp;#039; within {{not a typo|an}} united India, which he thought would be more conducive to the spread and prosperity of his community over the entire subcontinent than any religious partition.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life and ancestry ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hussain Ahmad Madani was born in [[Uttar Pradesh]] in a small town named [[Bangarmau]] in district [[Unnao]]. When he was born his father worked as a teacher in [[Bangarmau]]. His family was originally from Tanda in district [[Ambedkar Nagar]]. His father&amp;#039;s name was Sayyid Habibullah, who was a descendant of the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]] through [[Husayn ibn Ali]] down 35 generations.{{sfn|Metcalf, Husain Ahmad Madani|2012}} Husayn&amp;#039;s 16th generation down descendant Sayyid Nurul Haq was given 24 villages in [[Tanda, Ambedkar Nagar|Tanda]] by the Emperor of Delhi. Eventually through time, some of this land was inherited by Sayyid Habibullah (thirteen villages as of 1757).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation|title=জীবনী|language=bn|chapter=ফেদায়ে মিল্লাত সায়্যিদ আসআদ মাদানী (র:)|author=Muhammad Ruhul Amin Nagori|publisher=As Siraz}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madani chattar, Nayasarak, Sylhet.jpg|thumb|The [[Madani Square]] monument in [[Sylhet]], [[Bangladesh]], built in 2019 commemorating Hussain Ahmad Madani.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating from the Darul Uloom Deoband, he migrated to [[Medina]] with his family. He began teaching Arabic grammar, [[usul al-fiqh]], [[usul al-hadith]], and [[Tafsir|Quranic exegesis]]. He spent 18 years teaching these various Islamic sciences in Medina. He was then appointed as head teacher and &amp;quot;Shaikhul Hadith&amp;quot; of Darul Uloom Deoband. He served in this position for approximately 28 years.&amp;lt;ref name=TheNation/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Efforts for independence ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After his teacher [[Mehmud Hasan]] was sentenced by the British for his role in the [[Silk Letter Conspiracy]] to a prison in the Island of [[Malta]], Madani volunteered to go with him so that he could look after him. He had personally not been convicted.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}} Mehmud was imprisoned for three years. It so happened that Islamic month of Ramadan had come and neither Mehmud Hasan nor Madani was Hafiz of the Qur&amp;#039;an. At this instance, Mehmud Hasan said to his student (Madani) that most of his life, he didn&amp;#039;t have a Ramadan without listening to the complete Qur&amp;#039;an in the special night prayers called [[Tarawih]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}} Hussain Ahmad Madani, who respected his teachers very much, took this very sentence of his teacher seriously and started to memorise the Quran while in prison. Daily, Madani would memorise one [[Juz&amp;#039;|Juz]] (part) of the [[Quran]] and recite it in the Tarawih. Continuing to do so, he memorised the whole Quran in the 30 days of Ramadan, thus saving his teacher Mehmud Hasan from being deprived of listening to the Quran, as he had every Ramadan.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After his release, he returned to India and became actively involved in India&amp;#039;s freedom struggle. He had considerable influence over a section of the Muslims, more prominently those belonging to Eastern [[Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Bihar]]. Maulana Madani was one of the founder members of [[Jamia Millia Islamia]], [[New Delhi]]. He was the member of foundation committee (for the foundation of Jamia Millia Islamia) headed by Sheikhul-Hind Maulana Mahmood Hasan, met on 29 October 1929. He was against the [[two-nation theory]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4617667.stm How Indians see Jinnah]. BBC News. Retrieved on 19 July 2017.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and predominantly due to this, a large number of Muslims from Eastern U.P. and Bihar declined to migrate to Pakistan at the time of 1947 [[independence of Pakistan]] and the [[Partition of India]]. He became the President of the [[Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind]], a post he held until his death in 1957. (He also held the post of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Shaikhul Hadith&amp;#039;&amp;#039; at Darul Uloom Deoband till his death.)&amp;lt;ref name=TheNation/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Debate between Iqbal and Madani===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Madani–Iqbal debate}}&lt;br /&gt;
Husain Ahmad Madani opposed the inception of Pakistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.ghazali.net/book1/chapter_2.htm Ulema and the Pakistan Movement]. Retrieved on 19 July 2017.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was of the view that in the present times, nations are formed on the basis of homeland (geographic basis) and not on ethnicity and religion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Zamzam 17 July 1938 cited by Pakistan Struggle and Pervez, Tulu-e-Islam Trust, Lahore, p. 614&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On the issue of whether the identity of a nation depended upon its land or religion, there was an interesting debate between Husain Ahmad Madani and Allama Iqbal. [[Allama Iqbal]], a known pan-Islamist and a leading pro-Pakistan figure of the time, had at first developed differences of opinion with Husain Ahmad Madani over this issue. Later a mutual friend of both these leaders, a person named Taloot intervened by writing letters to both Iqbal and Madani. Taloot was able to bring more clarity to the circumstances and the intent of Madani in stating what he originally had stated about forming new nations and homelands. Taloot&amp;#039;s intervention was successful and eventually both Iqbal and Madani were able to understand each other better. It resulted in a reconciliation between the two Muslim leaders and Iqbal finally wrote a personal letter saying that he respected Maulana Husain Ahmad Madani&amp;#039;s service and devotion to Islam as much as any other Muslim despite their political differences.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.org/details/HazratMaulanaHussainAhmadMadanirtaAurAllamaIqbal Madani and Iqbal letters in Urdu language from 1938 on the issue of forming new homelands], Retrieved 19 July 2017.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Husain Ahmad Madani himself was reportedly quoted as saying, &amp;quot;All should endeavor jointly for such a democratic government in which Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Parsis are included. Such a freedom is in accordance with Islam.&amp;quot; ... .&amp;quot;that Muslims could live as observant Muslims in a religiously plural society where they would be full citizens of an independent, secular India.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=TheNation/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sylhet ==&lt;br /&gt;
After being released in 1923, employment became necessary for him. Despite previously serving at the Calcutta Alia Madrasa, his long imprisonment affected his relations with the staff there.{{sfn|Wahidi|1992|p=284}} He also had no accommodation. He was offered jobs from various places and at the same time was given a condition to refrain from politics. The [[British Bengal Legislative Council|Bengal Legislative Council]] offered him 40,000 takas in advance and a monthly salary of 500 takas to teach at the [[University of Dacca]].{{sfn|Wahidi|1992|p=285}} A similar offer was made by the [[Kingdom of Egypt|Government of Egypt]] which offered a monthly wage of 1000 takas for the post of Shaykhul Hadith at [[Al-Azhar University]]. Madani rejected both of these offers.{{sfn|Wahidi|1992|p=285}} Qazi Zahurul Islam noticed Madani&amp;#039;s poverty and contacted the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]], requesting to add him to the stipend list for scholars and poets. However, Madani rejected this too as he saw it to be shameful.{{sfn|Wahidi|1992|p=287}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Madani&amp;#039;s followers in [[Sylhet Division|Sylhet]] offered him to come to Sylhet and improve the quality of the Islamic education system there.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|url=https://islamicfoundation.portal.gov.bd/sites/default/files/files/islamicfoundation.portal.gov.bd/publications/ae553c25_ccc5_45f8_b3bb_4caa7e0bc2aa/Jiboni%20grontho.pdf|title=রাজনীতিতে বঙ্গীয় উলামার ভূমিকা|last=Abdullah|first=Dr. Muhammad|year=1995|publisher=[[Islamic Foundation Bangladesh]]|location=[[Dhaka]]|pages=361–362|access-date=17 January 2021|archive-date=28 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190728222417/http://islamicfoundation.portal.gov.bd/sites/default/files/files/islamicfoundation.portal.gov.bd/publications/ae553c25_ccc5_45f8_b3bb_4caa7e0bc2aa/Jiboni%20grontho.pdf}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This was due to Sylhet being incorporated into the [[Assam Province]], requiring Islamic students to go to [[Dhaka]] or [[Calcutta]] for appropriate learning such as [[Sihah-e-Sittah]].{{sfn|Adrawi|Nadvi|2017|p=187}} Thus, he came to Sylhet for 2 years due to the insistence of the people of Sylhet, despite offers of teaching from other places.{{sfn|Ahmad|2000|p=182}} In December 1924, Madani entered Sylhet and started teaching at the Khelafat Building Madrasa near Nayasarak Masjid in Manik Pirer Tila, [[Sylhet]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=দ্বীনি শিক্ষার পথ ও পদ্ধতি|author=Madani, Hussain Ahmad|year=1991|publisher=Barnamala Press|location=[[Moulvibazar]], [[Bangladesh]]|page=10|translator=Nazrul Islam, Shah}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the daily five-hour class, Madani would teach books such as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sharh Nukhbatil Fikar&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Al-Fawz al-Kabir]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Sunan at-Tirmidhi|Jami Tirmidhi]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and other [[Sihah-e-Sittah]]. He also immersed himself in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[tasawwuf]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in Sylhet.{{sfn|Islahi|1952|loc=Volume 4|p=245}} Three years later, he returned to Sylhet and committed to his followers that he would visit Sylhet every [[Ramadan]]. Madani continued this annual practice up until the [[Partition of India]] in 1947.{{sfn|Adrawi|Nadvi|2017|p=196}}&lt;br /&gt;
