Mumtaz Husain, better known as Mumtaz Mufti (Urdu: ممتاز مفتی; September 11, 1905 – October 27, 1995), was a writer from Pakistan.[1]
Initially a religious skeptic influenced by authors like Freud, Havelock Ellis, Alfred Adler and Fyodor Dostoevsky, he would eventually come back to Islam through Sufism.[2]
