In the year 1430 AH (2010 AD), I was appointed as a teacher at Darul Ulum Deoband in the Arabic Language Department, and it was an opportunity to benefit from it. He (Noor Alam Khalil Amini) assigned me to Arabize the book "The History of Darul Ulum Deoband" by the scholar Syed Mehboob Rizwi, and I had previously translated his own book "The Companions and Their Place in Islam" (Arabic: الصحابة ومكانتهم في الاسلام) in the Arabic language at his request. He praised my work and encouraged me to continue my translation work. This was due to his keenness to transfer the works of the great scholars and sheikhs of Deoband into the Arabic language so that our Arab brothers could read them.
