 DAWN - Features; December 11, 2002
Maulana Azad thought it proper to bring to light the unpublished verses of Mirza Ghalib in Al-Hilal in three instalments in 1914 and took the Urdu world by storm.
Maulana Azad has recounted in one of his articles that even when he got a jail term in Delhi he imagined that he should get the same room in which Ghalib was imprisoned.
It is a pity that Maulana Azad’s writings on Ghalib were not given due attention because of the fact that greater attention was paid to his political and religious writings and it was easier to ignore the story of Ghalib’s transmigration into Maulana Azad.

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was once drawn by a correspondent of the daily Zamindar [16 June, 1936] of Lahore into the controversy as to the nature of the claims of the Founder of the Ahmadiyyah Movement and the rights of the Ahmadiyya communities to claim a position within Islam.

Maulana Abul Kalam has, here too, set at rest one question, viz., that the Ahmadis do not believe in the prophethood of the Mirza Sahib, nor do they add any condition to the accepted conditions of the faith of Islam.
