It struck many as remarkable: a man from the small Mahdavia community rising to become the supreme, unquestioned leader of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen. Elected its chief at the close of the 1930s, he transformed it from an association into a movement.
His gift was unity. He brought Hyderabad's many Muslim sects onto one platform, gave the organization a vision larger than itself, and carried its voice from the Deccan to the councils of all-India politics — where he worked beside Jinnah.
He was offered the office of prime minister of Hyderabad State to fall silent. He refused. By 1944, the biographer records, he had become more loved and more powerful than the Nizam himself.
