Al-Kifah (Arabic: {{nq|الكفاح) was a fortnightly Arabic magazine, which was the mouthpiece of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind.[1] In the post-independence period, the leaders of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind decided to launch the magazine to promote the aims and objectives of the Jamiat in the Gulf countries. For this purpose, an 8-page was published in Delhi in January 1973; its editor was Altafur Rahman Azmi.[2] Wahiduzzaman Kairanawi played an important role in its publication. For some reason, the magazine was published for the last time in December 1987, but it had played a vital role in promoting Arabic language in India.[3] Often the editors of Al-Da'i edited Al-Kifah, although Darul Uloom Deoband had no formal affiliation with it.[4]
