Maulvi Syed Zainul Abideen, alternatively Zain-ul-Abidin (14 June 1832 – 27 September 1905), was an Indian judge, maulvi, and founding trustee of Aligarh Muslim University.
Early life and education
Born in Machhlishahr, Jaunpur to the Syed and Ulama family of Syed Muhammad Hussain,[1] he would complete his primary "maktab" education in the house of a Hindu benefactor in his hometown.[2] Abideen then joined Sanskrit College Banaras, studying Arabic. After graduation, he joined the University of Calcutta and completed his Law degree with first division.
He joined judicial services and retired as Sub-Judge from Ghazipur (UP).[3][4]
Aligarh Movement
At the time Sir Syed founded the Scientific Society in Ghazipur, Maulvi Zainul Abideen was posted in Ghazipur and wholeheartedly supported Sir Syed’s vision and mission. Abedin had a distant relation and a close association with Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, and on his request moved to Aligarh and bought a house.
The Aligarh House was fenced with 'Khaar-Daar Taar' (barbed wire), and hence remembered as 'Taar-Walaa Bangla' (The Wired House).[5] Abideen donated the Bangla (bungalow) to Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College (now Aligarh Muslim University) in 1897.
Abideen supported Sir Syed, especially when the plans for the nascent university were jeopardized due to the embezzlement of some 115,000 rupees in funds by the College’s English-language clerk, Shiam Behari Lal.[2] Abedin also had more active roles in the University, including serving on a committee to investigate bad food and irregular service in the University's dining hall.[6]
Abedin also oversaw the visit of Lord Curzon, then Viceroy and Governor-General of India, to the University.[6]
Syed Zain-ul Abideen sold his ancestral properties in Machli-Shahar, Jaunpur and donated part of it to the college's endowment. During Sir Syed's final days, the two spent considerable time together.[7]
Death
Abideen had married Emma Short, who was the niece of the Nawab Sultan Mariam Begum (Mary Short), a wife of the first King of Oudh. His wife is buried close to Sir Syed's wife, Parsa Begum, in Shauqat Bagh, Moradabad.
Abideen died on 27th September 1905 and is buried by the side of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in University Jama Masjid on Aligarh Muslim University's campus.[2]
Zainul Abidin Road, a central road of the AMU campus, is named for Abideen.
