Ayatullah Dr. Syed Niaz Muhammad Hamadani is a scholar of Islam with a distinctly progressive and practical approach about religion and human society. Unlike traditional clergy, he puts great emphasis on educating and enlightening the common man and opposes attempts at keeping believers in the darkness of ignorance. According to him, it is precisely this ignorance about the nuances of religion that have rendered Muslims vulnerable to exploitation in the name of God and faith. As such, his mission in life is to empower people to think and question, discern between black, white and grey in the light of the teachings of the Quran and the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him and His Progeny), and make informed judgments and decisions about both their religion and their daily lives rather than becoming blind followers of other men.
Dr. Hamadani was born on July 2nd 1959 in Quetta, Pakistan, where his father Syed Alam Shah was serving as a teacher in Islamia High School. He received his primary education and basic Islamic training from his father. In 1973, when his father retired from service, he came to his home town Talagang, a sub division of district Chakwal in the Punjab province, and continued his studies there. In 1983, following a graduate course in Economics, his instinct to research took him to Qum, a religious seminary in Iran, to get higher education in Islamic theology. At the international institute of higher Islamic studies at Qum, besides studying Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh, Philosophy and Mysticism, he studied Islamic Psychology based on the thoughts of Abu Ali Sina, Faraabi, Jalal-ud-Din Rumi and Ghazali.
