Allama Dr. Muhammad Asim Azmi (مدظلہ العالی) was born on 29th Muharram 1368 AH, corresponding to 1st December 1948 CE, in Mohalla Karimuddinpur, Ghosi, Mau (U.P., India), and was raised in a vast scholarly and spiritual environment.
He belongs to a noble family that had settled centuries ago in the historic settlement of "Qurouli Basi" (near Dohri Ghat). Due to a conflict with local brethren, other Muslims of the settlement migrated with their families and settled in Mohalla Karimuddinpur, Ghosi. His ancestors were simple, steadfast Sunni Muslims who met their economic needs through the weaving industry. His great-grandfather, the late Mr. Muhammad Abbas, was an expert in the art of soldiering and swordsmanship. In 1893, he valiantly fought against rioters who attacked the settlement, killing their hero and forcing them to flee. His grandfather, the late Muhammad Umar, was less educated but a devout and true Muslim; Hazrat Sadr al-Shari’ah (Allah have mercy on him) respectfully called him "Guru Ji." He had six sons and one daughter.
Dr. Asim Azmi's respected father, Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Salim Amjadi (Allah have mercy on him), was a devout scholar. He received his early education in Ghosi, then entered Jamia Ashrafia Mubarakpur for intermediate studies, and later enrolled in the central Darul Uloom Mazhar-e-Islam Bareilly Sharif for further education, graduating from there in 1364 AH. He was a special disciple and favorite of Sadr al-Shari’ah, who sent him to Pali Marwar, Rajasthan, for the service of religion. There, from 1946 to 1988, he performed unforgettable religious and academic services at Madrasa Amjadiya Masjid Chhipan for about 42 years. The people of Pali remain indebted to his favors. After 1988, due to poor health, he permanently resided in his hometown Ghosi, where he answered the call of his Lord on 15 Safar 1424 AH / 18 April 2003.
Dr. Asim Azmi's respected mother, Kabir al-Nisa, daughter of Mr. Abdul Ahad bin Abdul Samad Idrisi, shouldered the entire burden of upbringing and education while his father was busy with religious services in Pali. The excellent manner in which she raised and educated Dr. Asim and his brothers, Master Muhammad Qasim and Dr. Muhammad Qaim Azmi, alongside other household chores, is to her credit. This achievement is praiseworthy and exemplary. It is the miracle of her training that the world remembers Dr. Asim as a researcher, historian, and dignified scholar, and recognizes Dr. Muhammad Qaim Azmi as an experienced physician and skilled writer.
Education

تعلیم
Dr. Mohammad Asim Azmi received his early education from his hometown's ancient institution, Darul Uloom Ahl-e-Sunnat Jamia Shams-ul-Uloom, Ghosi. When he stepped onto the threshold of consciousness in 1953, he began learning Quranic recitation along with Urdu, Hindi, Mathematics, Persian, and Theology. He studied Persian classics such as Gulistan, Bostan, Mizan, Munshaib, Sarf Mir, Duroos al-Adab, Akhlaq-e-Mohsini, etc., from distinguished teachers.
In 1963, he entered the Munshi class, where subjects like Mathematics, Algebra, History, and Geography were also under study. His passion for knowledge flourished such that reading non-textbook books became a prominent trait of his personality.
After completing Dars-e-Nizami, he obtained degrees of Adeeb, Adeeb Mahir, and Adeeb Kamil from Jamia Urdu Aligarh. Subsequently, he received certificates of Munshi, Molvi, Aalim, Kamil, Fazil-e-Deeniyat, Fazil-e-Adab, and Fazil-e-Tibb from the Muslim Urdu-Arabic-Persian Board, Allahabad.
Despite this, his thirst for knowledge remained, so he also turned his attention to modern sciences:
डॉ. मोहम्मद आसिम आज़मी ने अपनी प्रारंभिक शिक्षा अपने गृहनगर के प्राचीन संस्थान, दारुल उलूम अहल-ए-सुन्नत जामिया शम्स-उल-उलूम, घोसी से प्राप्त की। 1953 में जब उन्होंने चेतना की दहलीज पर कदम रखा, तो उन्होंने कुरान पढ़ने के साथ-साथ उर्दू, हिंदी, गणित, फारसी और धर्मशास्त्र सीखना शुरू किया। उन्होंने गुलिस्तां, बोस्तां, मीज़ान, मुनशेब, सर्फ मीर, दुरुस अल-अदब, अखलाक-ए-मोहसिनी आदि जैसी फारसी क्लासिक्स का अध्ययन प्रतिष्ठित शिक्षकों से किया।
1963 में, उन्होंने मुंशी कक्षा में प्रवेश किया, जहाँ गणित, बीजगणित, इतिहास और भूगोल जैसे विषय भी अध्ययन के अधीन थे। ज्ञान के प्रति उनका जुनून ऐसा परवान चढ़ा कि गैर-पाठ्यपुस्तकों को पढ़ना उनके व्यक्तित्व की एक प्रमुख विशेषता बन गया।
दर्स-ए-निज़ामी पूरा करने के बाद, उन्होंने जामिया उर्दू अलीगढ़ से अदीब, अदीब माहिर और अदीब कामिल की डिग्रियाँ प्राप्त कीं। इसके बाद, उन्होंने मुस्लिम उर्दू-अरबी-फारसी बोर्ड, इलाहाबाद से मुंशी, मौलवी, आलम, कामिल, फाज़िल-ए-दीनियात, फाज़िल-ए-अदब और फाज़िल-ए-तिब्ब के प्रमाण पत्र प्राप्त किए।
इसके बावजूद, उनकी ज्ञान की प्यास बनी रही, इसलिए उन्होंने आधुनिक विज्ञानों की ओर भी ध्यान दिया:
Dr. Mohammad Asim Azmi ne apni ibtedai taleem apne watan ke qadeem idare, Darul Uloom Ahl-e-Sunnat Jamia Shams-ul-Uloom, Ghosi se haasil ki. 1953 mein jab unhone shaoor ki dehleez par qadam rakha, toh unhone Quran ki tilawat ke saath saath Urdu, Hindi, Riyazi (Mathematics), Farsi, aur Deeniyat seekhna shuru kiya. Unhone Farsi classics jaise Gulistan, Bostan, Mizan, Munshaib, Sarf Mir, Duroos al-Adab, Akhlaq-e-Mohsini waghaira ka dars maya-naz asaatiza se haasil kiya.
1963 mein, woh Munshi class mein daakhil hue, jahan Riyazi, Algebra, Tareekh, aur Geographia jaise mazameen bhi zer-e-mutalea the. Ilm ka shauq unke andar aisa parwan chadha ki ghair-darsi kitabon ka mutalea karna unki shakhsiyat ka numaya wasf ban gaya.
Dars-e-Nizami ki takmeel ke baad, unhone Jamia Urdu Aligarh se Adeeb, Adeeb Mahir, aur Adeeb Kamil ki degrees haasil ki. Iske baad, unhone Muslim Urdu-Arabic-Persian Board, Allahabad se Munshi, Molvi, Aalim, Kamil, Fazil-e-Deeniyat, Fazil-e-Adab, aur Fazil-e-Tibb ki asnaad haasil ki.
Iske bawajood, ilmi tishnagi barqarar rahi, lehaza unhone asri uloom ki taraf bhi tawajjuh di:
حضرت ڈاکٹر محمد عاصم اعظمی نے اپنی ابتدائی تعلیم وطن کے قدیم ادارہ دارالعلوم اہلِ سنت جامعہ شمس العلوم گھوسی سے حاصل کی۔ 1953ء میں جب آپ نے شعور کی دہلیز پر قدم رکھا تو قرآنِ مجید کی ناظرہ خوانی کے ساتھ اردو، ہندی، ریاضی، فارسی اور دینیات کی تعلیم شروع کی۔ آپ نے فارسی کی کلاسیکی کتب جیسے گلستاں، بوستاں، میزان، منشعب، صرف میر، دروس الادب، اخلاق محسنی وغیرہ کا درس مایہ ناز اساتذہ سے حاصل کیا۔
1963ء میں جماعتِ منشی میں داخل ہوئے جہاں ریاضی، الجبرا، تاریخ اور جغرافیہ جیسے مضامین بھی زیرِ مطالعہ رہے۔ علم کا ذوق آپ کے اندر ایسا پروان چڑھا کہ غیر درسی کتب کے مطالعے کا شوق آپ کی شخصیت کا نمایاں وصف بن گیا۔
آپ نے درسِ نظامی کی تکمیل کے بعد جامعہ اردو علی گڑھ سے ادیب، ادیب ماہر، ادیب کامل کی ڈگریاں حاصل کیں۔ اس کے بعد مسلم اردو عربی فارسی بورڈ، الہ آباد سے منشی، مولوی، عالم، کامل، فاضل دینیات، فاضل ادب اور فاضل طب کی اسناد حاصل کیں۔
اس کے باوجود علمی تشنگی برقرار رہی، لہٰذا آپ نے عصری علوم کی طرف بھی توجہ دی:
- B.A. اور M.A. – گورکھپور یونیورسٹی
- B.Th. اور M.Th. – علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی
- Ph.D. (1985) – پٹنہ یونیورسٹی (موضوع: حدیث کے اردو تراجم کا تحقیقی مطالعہ)
آپ کو بقول حضور بحرالعلوم مفتی عبد المنان اعظمی "علوم و فنون کا ایک سرسبز گلزار اور ڈگریوں کا مینا بازار" کہا گیا۔
