Born on 24-12-1924 and educated at the Higher Elementary School, Keeranur (Madurai Dt.) and at St. Anthony’s High School, Coonoor. Mr. Siraj Baquavi wished to study Islamic culture and theology. He therefore joined the Baquiyath Salihath Arabic College, at Vellore and then the Jamalia Arabic College, Madras, and secured the MOULAVI ALIM Degree and subsequently MOULAVI FAZIL Diploma and QUARI Title.

He has not only made a deep study of the Arabic literature and Islamic theology but he is also a scholar of high repute in Tamil and Urdu languages. It is his ardent desire to present the noble Principles of Islam to the entire humanity through his writings. Famous among his books published in Tamil are : “The Manna of Wisdom”, “How to lead a happy life?” and “Subuhana Mowlid” -the last one being a poetic translation from Arabic poems.

The present work, “NENJIL NIRAINDA NABI MANI,” which is entirely composed in chaste and lucid Tamil verse, is his magnum opus. Written in praise of Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic religion, it constitutes a new venture to touch the minds of the believers and admirers of Islam and of the last of its prophets.
