Maulana Muhammad Ismail Zabeeh (1913-2001 CE) was a writer, orator, historian and a journalist involved in the Pakistan movement(Creation of Pakistan) in 1947.He was a leader of Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam . He remained a staunch supporter of the two nation theory.
Hailed from a scholarly family of Hazara, Ismail Zabeeh was born to Maulana Ghulaam Yahya Hazarvi, at Gawaliar (India) in 1913. His father had moved to India after completing his early education in District Abbotabad of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province. It was thus his sheer thirst for knowledge that moved the young Ghulam Yahya towards India, where he studied under various luminaries of his time. They included two famous students of the Eminent Maulana Muhammad Qasim Nanotwi.
After growing up, young Ismail Zabeeh went straight to the institution headed by his eminent father. At 13 he was studying arabiclanguage basics at the Darul Uloom of Deoband when his father recalled him to Jamia Illahiyaat, at Kanpur. He later also went to studyJamia Millia at Delhi and studied under Dr. Zakir Hussain.
