TRANSLATOR’S NOTE
First of all I thank Allah Almighty for blessing me with the opportunity to undertake this noble task. At the same time, I express my gratitude to Moulana Muhammad Shakaib Qasmi, the director of Hujjatul-Islam Academy who entrusted the task to me.
Hujjatul- Islam Academy is the research department of Darul Uloom Waqf Deoband. One of the main objectives of the Academy is to translate the books written by the Deobandi scholars into English. The book I was assigned to translate was ‘Insaniyat ka Imtiyaz authored by Hakeemul Islam Maulana Muhammad Tayyab (ra), the ex-rector of Darul Uloom Deoband which, by the grace of Allah, has finished.
Being this my first effort, I do not claim close fidelity to the original. There may be some errors of diction and linguistic shortcomings. The readers are, therefore, humbly requested to be frank in expressing their critical views, so that the flaws be fixed and shortcomings put right in the subsequent editions.
May Allah make this book eminently successful in its noble mission! Ameen!

PUBLISHER’S NOTE
Hujjatul Islam academy was established with the sole purpose to disseminate the visions and ideologies of the founder of Darul Uloom Deoband, Imam Muhammad Qasim Nanautavi; as well as to introduce fairly his great spiritual movement, Darul Uloom Deoband and social, religious and educational contributions of all the visionary scholars of the movement, like the renowned hadith scholar Maulana Anwar Shah Kashmiri, Hakeemul Ummat Maulana Ashraf Ah Thanvi, Shaikhul Hind Maulana Mahmood Hasan Deobandi, Allama Shabbeer Ahmad Usmani, Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ahmad and Hakeemul Islam Maulana Muhammd Tayyab (May Allah have mercy upon them!). All those bearing the title of Qasmi and the Qasmi family in particular, shoulder the responsibility to let the world recognize these luminaries and be aware of their valuable contributions to the world.
Each generation of this family offered huge sacrifices and cooperated in all the ways possible to reinforce and revive the ‘Darul Uloom Movement’ launched by the family father Imam Muhammad Qasim Nanautavi. Hence, the establishment of Darul Uloom Waqf to resurrect the movement and retain its spirituality, puts forth fair evidence of great endeavour of the Qasmi family.
Research department of Darul Uloom Waqf aims at getting the students close to the Qasmi ideology and develop among them a flair for research, translation and adaptation of the scholarships contributed by the Deobandi scholarsinto various languages to benefit a wider range of people.
The book ‘HUMAN BEING: A DISTINGUISHED CREATURE’ is the English translation of a scholarly and wise piece of writing by Hakeemul Islam Maulana Muhammad Tayyab. It has been translated by Maul ana Muhammad Javed Qasmi, my colleague and teacher at Haque Education and Research Foundation Kanpur. In the translation, it has been fully insured that essence of the original be captured without missing any idea. Translation is simple and readable. Good effort has been made to put forth a good piece of work.
Seminar on the life and contributions of Hakeemul Islam Maulana Muhammd Tayyab was basically held to recompile and edit his scholarships which were earlier in form of scattered essays and articles; books and speeches. The job was done to a greater extent, but scope of its benefit was limited to Urdu-knowing readership, being the work available in Urdu only. People who did not know Urdu remained unaware of these pearls of wisdom. The universal nature of his work demanded that it should be disseminated beyond the barriers of languages.
Hujjatul Islam Academy has embarked upon the noble mission. Translation in English and Arabic preferably has started and first book of the series is in your hand.
May Allah make the academy successful in its initiatives and useful for Ummah!
