Mazameen e Sir Syed Ahmed Khan

He worked to promote reinterpretation of Muslim ideology in order to reconcile tradition with Western education. He argued in several writings on Islam that the Qur'an rested on an appreciation of reason and natural law, making scientific inquiry important to being a good Muslim.

The schools established by Sir Syed imparted education in the Urdu medium.
