Abstract
The scholars of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are known throughout Pakistan for their commitment to rationality and theology; that’s why students across Pakistan travel to the Kyber Pakhtunkwa Madaris to study logic, philosophy, and theology. Despite the mere availability of facilities and lack of financial resources, these theologians published several books, but many still exist in manuscripts. The biographies and services of these scholars are still in the shadow of ignorance due to their geographical positions and location in remote areas. This paper focused on the bios and scholarly works of these scholars. The researchers of this paper collected the primary Data about their services by traveling to these remote areas; conducting Semi-structured interviews with the scholars alive. The researchers contacted the students and the relatives of the deceased theologians to present the untold stories of their tremendous works to academia. This paper demonstrated the biographical sketches of fourteen scholars and their literary work in theology and put forward the significance of these books in theological debates.
