ASSALAMUALAIKUM,
My name is Nadira Khatoon, and I am the daughter of Khalida Khatoon and Emad-ul-Haq Siddiqui . I was born in Karachi, Pakistan on September 14, 1948. My parents resided in a small town named Keerana. Keerana was also home to the famous author, Rehmatullah Kiranvi, whose best-selling book “From Bible to Qur’an” is still being published to this day. The town of Keerana is situated in Muzaffar Nigar, UP, India. My parents had a religious background. My father’s elder brother was the notable Islamic scholar Maulana Ahtisham-ul-Huq Thanwi. In addition, his uncle Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi was also a renowned scholar. Therefore, it is with great honor that I come from a background of scholars and intellects who served our religion in many spectacular ways.
