Following the War of Independence of 1857, the British colonial government viewed the Muslims as the primary instigators of the uprising. Consequently, British officials and authors held them in deep suspicion and blamed them for disloyalty. To counter this narrative, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan authored Asbab-e-Baghawat-e-Hind (The Causes of the Indian Revolt) in 1859 and published The Loyal Mohammedans of India (1860) to bridge the trust deficit between the British government and the Muslim community.

Following the failure of the Second Round Table Conference in 1932, Ramsay MacDonald announced the Communal Award on August 16, 1932. This award granted separate electorates not only to Muslims but also to other minority communities in India.

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan retired from his work in 1876 to concentrate on running the college and devoting himself to improve the position of Muslims through education.

Khaliq-uz-Zaman remarked, "the seeds of partition of India were duly laid there in Lucknos when due to their inexperience, the Muslims agreed to have equality in the Punjab and a minaet, in Bengal and other provinces.

 The society was created in Lahore in 1884 to defend Islamic teachings and promote modern education among Muslims.
