مولانا ظفر علی خاں کا اُسلوب نگارش: تحقیقی جائزہ THE WRITING STYLE OF MAULANA ZAFAR ALI KHAN: A RESEARCH REVIEW Section Urdu Literature

Abstract

The stylistics followed by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan in prose were laid by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in Urdu literature. Sir Syed's ijtihad and reformist color and style are found in journalism with Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar, Abul Kalam Azad and Zafar Ali Khan. The difference between the style of Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, Azad and Johar is that Maulana Zafar Ali Khan addressed the people directly from the unity of ancient and modern literature and knowledge and religion and politics. Abul Kalam Azad's tone was that of a da'i, but Muhammad Ali Johar reached the heart like an English journalist. Maulana Zafar Ali Khan's prose is a reflection of his particular mind, mood and environment. His moody nature and the moodiness of the environment combined to make his writing style terrifying and suspenseful. Maulana was a fast traveller. He loved passion more than reason, action more than thought and commotion more than peace.
