Prof M. Shafey Kidwai, Director, Sir Syed Academy said that Maqalaat-e-Sir Syed is an important original source to understand Sir Syed, his multi-faceted personality and thoughts on different national and international issues, his journalistic style and political analysis and views on Islamic philosophy and modern scientific approach.
Sir Syed wrote extensively on inter-faith understanding and dialogue. His articles and essays remained scattered for fifty years after his death. Maulvi Sheikh Ismail Panipati was the first person to compile them, which was subsequently published in 16 volumes. These volumes had errors. There were errors in the number of Quranic verses and numerals, and quotations in Arabic and Persian also had mistakes. Apart from this an old font was used for typing, which was not easy to read.
Sir Syed Academy took the task of correcting these errors and brought out deluxe edition of Maqalaat-e-Sir Syed in 11 volumes, Prof Kidwai informed. 16 volumes compiled earlier by Maulvi Muhammad Ismail Panipati have been incorporated in 11 volumes by the Sir Syed Academy.
