Wasif Husain Nadeem al-Wajidi (also spelled Maulana Nadeem-Ul-Wajidi; 23 July 1954 – 14 October 2024) was an Indian Islamic scholar, columnist, critic, and writer who specialized in Urdu and Arabic language and literature.
[10][11] He received his primary education in Deoband and then studied at Madrasa Miftahul Uloom in Jalalabad, where he benefitted academically from Masihullah Khan Sherwani.
In 1978, the advisory council of Darul Uloom Deoband appointed him as the supervisor of the writing and compilation department for its centenary celebration, where he worked for two years, publishing various books and magazines in Arabic and Urdu.
[2][18] Between 1980 and 1987, he translated Al-Ghazali's renowned book Ihyā-ul-Uloom in installments, which was published in four volumes in Lahore and Karachi in Pakistan, and Dhaka in Bangladesh.
In the short film Mister Come Tomorrow, the concept of halala is portrayed with common misconceptions, showing that a woman is asked to sleep with another man besides her husband.
He clarified that halala is actually intended to assist a divorced woman, giving her the right to remarry any man, not necessarily her former husband.
His articles were often published in the magazines Darul Uloom, Naya Daur Lucknow, Aaj Kal, Rashtriya Sahara, Daily Sahafat, Sada-e-Dawat, etc.
