Valiyankode Umer Qazi ( Arabic:عمر القاضي بلنكوتي, Malayalam: വെളിയങ്കോട്ട് ഉമര് ഖാസി(റ) ) was a Muslim scholar, freedom fighter and poet. He was active in the Civil disobedience movement and refused to pay tax to the government in British India.[2]
Early life
[edit]Khasi was born to Ali Musliyar, a decedent of Sheikh Hasan Tabee, and Amina, in the house known as "Kaziyarakath" in Hijra 1177 Rabee Awal 10.[citation needed] His parents died before he was ten years old.[citation needed] He obtained the basic studies from his father in his early childhood.[citation needed]
When he was eleven, he was enrolled in Tanoor Darse, under the mentorship Ahmed Musliyar, a decedent of Makdoom family. He then studied with Aboobacker Hisham, also known as Aoukoya Musliyar.[citation needed] He was admitted in Ponnani Darse in his 13th year and accepted the guidance of Mammikutty Kazi.[citation needed] He learned Fathul Mueen and other authentic classical texts from there. After the six-year course at Ponnani, he left there after the death of his teacher Mammikutty Musliyar.[citation needed]
The meeting with Mamburam Thangal
[edit]He travelled to Mamburam Thangal with his friend Aoukoya.[citation needed] It is believed he lost all of his knowledge by confusing in the authenticity of the Thangal as Sheikh Murabbe. [vague] He accepted Mamburam Thangal as his guide, and this meeting was recorded by Mamburam Mala.[3]
His social service
[edit]He was installed as the supreme judge in the Muslim locality, under Valiyangode Juma Masjid.[citation needed] He depended upon Thuhfa of Ibn Hajar to announce the verdicts.[citation needed] He was appointed as Mudarris, the chief dean in the mosque-based college.[citation needed] He was accompanied by his companion Aoukoya Musliyar, who served as his assistant and coworker. Debates occurred between them on the swalath between Tarvih namaz.[citation needed]
As Freedom fighter
[edit]He was an early participant in the Civil disobedience movement in Indian peninsula, refusing to pay tax ordered by Amsham Adikari, the local chieftain appointed by the British government.[citation needed] Marakkar Sahib stepped in and promised to pay his tax until his death. When Marakkar Sahib died, the issue once again became problematic.[citation needed]
As a poet
[edit]He wrote poetry.[4] During his stay in jail, he conveyed his thought to Mamburam via poems. He used to send his letters with poems.[citation needed]
