Literary works

He was concerned with Muslim women's education, and their lot in general.[1] Most of his novels revolve around the idea of the perfect woman, who is both practical and learned, and are seen as guides for young girls.[2]

The Bride's Mirror has never been out of print in Urdu from that day of its first publication. In 1903 an English translation was published in London by G. E. Ward.[3]
