His ancestors came from Cheenak, a small town near the city of Ahmedabad in the modern Indian State of Gujarat. He acquired his initial education through individual spiritual teachers and later passed private examinations from University of Punjab from where he received the degrees of Maulvi Fazil and Munshi Fazil. At the age of fifteen when he received his first degree of Maulvi, he started his career as a Mufti. After the establishment of Osmania University he served there as dean at the Faculty of Theology. After retirement, he continued to educate people at his private home. He died in 1962 and is buried at Siddiq Gulshan, Hyderabad. A dome is currently being constructed on his grave and is expected reach 117 feet in height.

His death anniversary is commemorated every year on the 16th, 17th and 18th of the Islamic month of Shawwal. Many biographies have been written including "Toor Tajalli", "Yaad-e-Hasrat Ayaat" (compiled by his son Dr. Moosa Abdurrehman Siddiqui), and "Abdullah" (a 600 pages book compiled by his grandson, Muhammad Anwaruddin siddique). All three are in Urdu language and in print.

Spiritual Masters[edit] His first spiritual master was his maternal uncle, Muhammad Siddiq Hussaini, who had produced many generations of Sufi teachers like Ahmad Ali Shah, Mahmood Makki, Omar Hussaini, Osman Hussaini, Hazrat Syed Yahya Husaaini, Abdul Muqtadir Siddiqui Fazl, Baqir Hussaini and many more. Muhammad Siddiq had many titles but most famous was "Mahbooballah" (Beloved of God). After the death of his Shaikh, Siddiqi who was 24 years old, travelled all over the Muslim world and benefited from the knowledge and wisdom of many other scholars and spiritual doctors. However whenever he said "My Shaikh", it meant Shaikh Siddiq(Mahbooballah). He used to say, "My grandfather is Siddiqi [a reference to his ancestor Abu Bakr as-Siddiq] and my shaikh is siddiq. I am a Siddiqui from every angle".[citation needed]

He published the Tafseer-e-Siddiqui in Pakistan and teaches spiritual education as well. Abdur Rasheed Siddiqui Qadeeri, PhD in Arabic Literature from University of Karachi. Khalifa of Abdul Qadeer Siddiqui Works[edit] Translation of the Quran[edit] Main article: Tafseer-e-Siddiqui He wrote a Tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis) and published it in the magazine "Al-Qadeer". When completed, it was printed under the title Tafseer-e-Siddiqui.

In addition to this completed tafsir, he also compiled separate commentaries focused on the first chapter of the Qur'an Surat al-Fatihah titled Tafsir-e-surat al-Fatihah as well as the 30th part of the Qur'an Juz' al-'Amm, which was titled as Tafsir-e-Latifi. In this he addressed women during the explanation of different verses and hence the word "Latifi" appears in the title.

Tarjamatul Quranul Kareem was adopted from Tafseer-e-Siddiqui and published separately in one volume comprising 1040 pages, a delux edition in three colours.

Poetry[edit] All of his poetry works, whether written in Urdu, Arabic, and Persian, are combined in Kulliyyat-e-Hasrat. As the title Kulliyyat calls for various branches of poetry are included, Ghazal, Qasidah, Marsia, Nazm, Ruba'iyat. It consists of Hamd, Na'at, Manqabat homage to his Shaikh and other Sufi saints of his order including Abdul Qadir Jilani and Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer, India.

Kalam[edit] Siddiqi wrote a book "Mayaar ul Kalam" in Arabic on the science of Kalam (Dialectical Theology). That made him known in the Arab world.

Translations[edit] When he felt that Ibn Arabi's Fusus-al-Hikam was misunderstood by both the followers and critics of the Shaikh due to his unique style, Siddiqui decided to have an interpretive translation into Urdu. The translation received critical acclaim, and was included in the curriculum of many schools, most notably the University of Punjab.

Fiqh[edit] Hanafi critics regarded it as a Fiqh of a person's personal opinion.[vague] Professor Siddiqui compiled the Hadiths explicating the jurisprudential details of the Hanafi School of Law, arguing that the Hanafi School is totally based on the Quran and the Hadith. This work is titled Ad-Din which was written originally in Arabic and then translated into Urdu.It consists of four sections.

1. Kitab al-'Ilm - Book of Knowledge. 2. Kitab al-Iman - Book of Faith 3. Kitab al-Ihsan - Book of Virtues 4. Kitab al-Islam - Book of Islam This was included in the syllabus of Osmania University.

All these four books are published separately.

Other Works[edit] Siddiqi had authored more than fifty books apart from the Tafseer-e-Siddiqui, most of his Islamic works are in Urdu which include his books on Theosophy (tasawwuf).

Among them are:

Al-Tawhid, in Persian and translated in Urdu by his eldest son Muhammad Abdul Rahim Siddiqi, Hikmat-e- Islamiyyah Al-'Irfan Tafhimat-e Siddiqi Sud ka Mas'alah Haqiqat-e Bay'at Haiqat-e-Meraj Usool-e-Islam Nizamul Amal-e-Fuqara Death[edit] Siddiqui was ill for a long time and, fifteen days before his death, ordered that his grave be dug in 'Siddique Gulshan'.
