    • 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.
