Tehzeeb-e-Niswan (Urdu: تہذیبِ نسواں) was an Islamic weekly magazine for women, started by Sayyid Mumtaz Ali along with his wife Muhammadi Begum in 1898.
Named Tehzeeb-e-Niswan by Syed Ahmad Khan,[2] this women rights magazine was started by Sayyid Mumtaz Ali along with his wife Muhammadi Begum in 1898.
In her research work titled Feminism in Modern Urdu Poetesses, Ambreen Salahuddin wrote that "from the very first issue a large number of women started writing for this magazine nearly all of them wrote reformative articles against dowry superstitions or extravagance etc.
Commending Mumtaz Ali for Tehzeeb-e-Niswan, Pakistani historian Ghulam Rasool Mehr said that, The girls of Muslim families, from Peshawar to Kanyakumari who have a bit of understanding about reading and writing or have gained higher education or are studying, are undoubtedly indebted to Shams al-Ulama Mawlāna Mumtaz Ali, who sacrificed his whole life for the betterment and education of women.
If he have had tried in political or religious sphere, he would have been a great leader of the country, but it would have delayed or deferred education and upbringing of the half of the Nation, because there is no second to Mawlāna in this field.
