Notes
  1. Shakaib Qasmi and Ghulam Nabi Qasmi state the birth year to be 1892 and Syed Mehboob Rizwi and Noor Alam Khalil Amini maintain the point that Qari Tayyab was born in 1897. However, both mention 1315 AH as his birth year.[4][5]

    • Amini states that Qari Tayyab was selected as mohtamim in 1928 and he remained in this post throughout his life. However, the 1980-1982 phase of Darul Uloom Deoband is regarded as one of the darkest phases of its history which led to bifurcation of Darul Uloom and then formation of Darul Uloom Waqf, Deoband. Hence, the later years have been skipped and his timeline as a VC of Deoband is stated as 1928-1980.
