Safdar Ali
Safdar Ali, ((ヒンディー語:सफ़दर अली ), )
(1830-1899) a convert from Islam to Christianity, was born in the native state of Dholpur, and was the son of an orthodox Syed gentleman. Ali's father personally saw to his education which was deeply rooted in the religion of Islam but he also received instruction from other Islamic and philosophical scholars from around their city of residence. While Ali was still young, his father, who held the position of Qazi in Dholpur, was dismissed from this role and he chose to move their family to Agra. From here Ali continued his studies which led to his philosophical and theological questioning of his childhood religion of Islam. Ali's questioning led to what he called a three-year struggle through the Christian and Mohammedan scriptures as well as other works of controversy pertaining to either faith. At the end of his three-year journey, Ali finally attained what he called his full assurance of salvation. He was finally baptized on Christmas Day in 1864.
== Early Life and Education ==
Since an early age, Ali showed great interest in topics of metaphysical sciences, philosophy, polemical debates, and various topics in Muslim theology. When he was young, Ali's father began to teach and guide him in his study of the religion of Islam. Ali recounted in one of his letters to the Church Missionary Society, the extent to which his father went to ensure that his son received the best education possible. Giving up much of his free time away from work, his father was the largest influence in his training to become a Muslim scholar. Ali states again in the same letter that even after his father had been removed from his position in Dholpur and they had settled in Agra, despite the luxuries that they could no longer afford, his father remained steadfast and encouraged Ali daily which as he states, "produced the deepest longings in my mind".〔Church Missionary Intelligencer, vol. 2, 1866, pg. 216〕 In addition to his father's teaching, he also received instruction from other Islamic scholars in Agra. Ali dedicated much of his time into studying other religions and philosophies as well. Religious Hindu books, ancient Greek philosophical texts (in their Arab translations), as well as works by atheists, sophists and deists, were all in addition to his regular study of orthodox Islam. However, despite his studying of other religious texts, the Christian Scriptures did not come across his study until later in his life when he was appointed Deputy Inspector of Schools in Rawul Pindee. After his homeschooling, Safdar Ali then went on to receive an education from the British Governmental College in Agra which focused on physical sciences, mathematics, and introductions to English literature.
