Respected Abdus Sattar Ghauri was a
significant intellectual figure in Islamic scholarship of
Pakistan. He was a great teacher, educationist, researcher,
and author. In academic circles, he was recognized for his
expertise in biblical literature. I first met him sometime in
2001 when his mid-sixties at Al-Mawrid, and since then have
been viewing him as a source of inspiration. His life was an
outstanding illustration of piety and discipline. As a
researcher, his sincerity with his mission and his high degree
of physical, emotional, and cognitive engagement with his
research were exemplary. He was extremely humble in sharing
his research findings and learning from others. His demise is
indeed a great loss for our country. He will always be
remembered as a humble servant of Allah who fully devoted a
significant part of his life in exposing contradictions and
corruptions made in the Bible with regard to beliefs and facts
stated in the Holy Qur’ān.
