Comment by 72.139.114.132 edit
I noticed that some of his most significant works is missing from the listing. Sir Syed wrote: -A complete Biography of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him); as well as -A partial commentary on the Holy Bible (The first commentary of the Bible ever written by a Muslim. Must be a fascinating read for the devout of Islam or Christianity.)
Both of these are mentioned in Graham's Biography, which, as you know, is the trusted source on Sir Syed within intellectual circles. If you talk about The Biography of Sir Syed, you probably mean Graham's Biography of him. They were contemporaries - Graham was an englishman who was very impressed with this intelligent "native" (as they called him in the 1800's). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.139.114.132 (talk • contribs) 08:17, 8 April 2006.

Syed Ahmad Khan → Sayyid Ahmad Khan The "Sayyid" spelling is much commonly used than "Syed" per Google Ngrams and on Google Scholars, "Syed" shows 3,550 results while "Sayyid" shows 5,380 results. Also, the Sayyid article itself is named in this way and not "Syed". Ayubist (talk) 20:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:27, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose move - The sources cited on this page overwhelmingly spell the first name as "Syed". Google ngrams are of no use for this kind of thing because we have no idea what kind of sources Google is farming. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose pretty much per what Kautilya3 has mentioned. ─ The Aafī (talk) 03:36, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose move Sayyid is not a term that is used much in the Indian Sub-continent historically. In South Asia we used Syed as the surname since, the title "Syed" is the most common English spelling of the Arabic term Sayyid.
