Plymouth Rock Plymouth Rock is the traditional site of disembarkation of William Bradford and the "Mayflower" Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony in 1620. The Pilgrims did not refer to Plymouth Rock in any of their writings; the first known written reference to the rock dates to 1715 when it was described in the town boundary records as "a great rock." The first documented claim that Plymouth Rock was the landing place of the Pilgrims was made by Elder Thomas Faunce in 1741, 121 years after the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth. From that time to the present, Plymouth Rock has occupied a prominent spot in American tradition and has been interpreted by later generations as a symbol both of the virtues and flaws of the first English people who colonized New England. In 1774, the rock broke in half during an attempt to haul it to Town Square in Plymouth. The top portion (the fragment now visible) sat in Town Square, was moved to Pilgrim Hall Museum in 1834, and was returned to its original site on the shore of Plymouth Harbor in 1880. Today it is ensconced beneath a granite canopy designed by McKim, Mead & White.

Shibli Nomani He was born to Shaikh Habibullah and Moqeema Khatoon. Although his younger brothers went to London, England for education and later returned as barristers, employed at Allahabad High Court, Shibli received a traditional Islamic education. Shibli Nomani was a 'Muslim Rajput' from the Azamgarh district in the then United Provinces of British India, now called Uttar Pradesh in modern India. "This aspect of Shibli's background perhaps explains his ambivalent relationship with Aligarh and Sir Syed." His teacher, in his early life, was Maulana Muhammad Farooq Chirayakoti, a rationalist scholar. Shibli went to Makkah for the Hajj and there, he devoted his time to furthering his studies in Islamic theology, history, philosophy and Sufism from different scholars in Arabia. Due to these two opposite influences in the younger years of his life, "Shibli, therefore, had reasons to be both attracted and repelled by Aligarh."
