Sharif Hussain (Urdu: ), who used the pseudonym Nasīm Hijāzī (Urdu: , commonly transliterated as Naseem Hijazi or Nasim Hijazi) (c. 1914–March 1996), was an Urdu writer. He was born in an Arain family of the village of Sujaanpur near the town of Dhariwal, in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab, before the independence of Pakistan; they settled in Lahore in 1947. He lived most of his life in Pakistan and died in March 1996. ==Work== Naseem Hijazi bases most of his work on Islamic history. In dealing with this history, he shows both the rise and fall of the Islamic Empire. His novels ''Muhammad Bin Qasim'', ''Aakhri Ma'raka'', ''Qaisar-o Kisra'' and ''Qafla-i Hijaz'' describe the era of Islam's rise to political, militaristic, economic, and educational power. While ''Yusuf Bin Tashfain'', ''Shaheen'',〔()〕 ''Kaleesa aur Aag'', and ''Andheri Raat ke Musafir'' describe the period of Spanish Reconquista. In one of these novels (''Kaleesa Aur Aag'') he has painfully, yet truthfully, depicted the infamous Spanish Inquisition that began by targeting the Spanish Jews and ended also with the conversion or expulsion of the Moriscos or crypto-Muslims outwardly converted to Christianity. In ''Akhri Chataan'', he describes the Central Asian conquests of Genghis Khan and his destruction of the Khwarizm Sultanate. The novel shows the brutal conquests of the Mongols, the military genius of Genghis Khan, the undying willpower of Sultan Jalal ud-Din Khwarizm Shah, and the unworthy condition of the Abbasid Caliphate of Baghdad. He wrote two sequential novels on British conquest of India, and described the shortcomings of Indian nations after the collapse of Mughal Empire. ''Mu'azzam Ali'' starts a little before the Battle of Plassey. The lead character, Muazzam Ali, joins the fight against the British with the army of Siraj-ud-Daula. The story goes around as the character moves from one place in India to another in search of the lost glory and freedom. He takes part in the third battle of Panipat and finally settles in Srirangapattana, which was growing in power under the towering personality of Haider Ali. The book ends almost around the death of Ali. The second book, ''Aur Talwar Toot Gayee'' (''And the Sword is Broken'') is more about Haider's son Sultan Tipu, where the same character is finding his dreams being fulfilled in Tipu's valiant endeavors against the British East India Company. The book culminates in Sultan Tipu's sad and untimely martyrdom. He also wrote a novel on the Independence of Pakistan named ''Khaak aur Khoon''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naseem Hijazi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
