Who suggested the name of Muslim League?

Answer 1

It is wrong that Nawab Saleemullah Khan founded Muslim league. It was founded by the Muhammaden Educational Conference behind the circumstances arose in the aftermath of 1905 partition of Bengal. In this regard the Muhammaden Educational Conference that always raised and considered the national and political problems faced by Muslims of India, decided to form the a separate Muslim political party to safeguard the interests of Muslims. The convention in which the declaration for its formation was made, was actually the annual meeting of the Educational Conference. The convention was attended by almost 3000 notable celebrities from through out South Asia.The decision to hold the convention at Dhaka was made only because to demonstrate the Muslim power to then British Government and hindus of Bengal who strongly opposed the partition of Bengal. The meeting of M.E.C. commenced from 27 Dec. 1906 and continued upto 30 Dec. The last session of the meeting was converted into a large convention. Nawab Sir Saleemullah Khan didn't appoint Nawab Wiqar ul Mulk, but he only hosted the meeting i.e. arranged convention to be held at his residence Ehsan Manzil Dhaka. Nawab Muhsan ul Mulk, the Secretary of both the Muhammaden Education Conference and the Aligarh College trust and other notable Muslim leaders related to the Educational conference like Sir Aga Khan III, Maulana Muhammed Ali Jauhar, Nawab Wiqar ul Mulk (who founded Muhammaden Political Association in 1900 however it was not much more active) were the main political figures to consider the matter of forming a new Muslim political party, especially Nawab Muhsan ul Mulk who was then the Secretary of Educational Conference as the convention in which Muslim league was founded was the annual meeting of the conference. After its formation on 30 Dec. 1906, Sir Aga Khan III was nominated its first president and Nawab Muhsan ul Mulk and Nawab Wiqar ul Mulk became its joint Secretaries. Nawab Muhsan ul Mulk passed away in Sept. 1907, and Nawab Wiqar ul Mulk held the Secretaryship of Muhammaden Education Conference and Syed Hussain Bilgrami was appointed Muslim league's Secretary.

The constitution of the Muslim League was framed by a board headed by Maulana Muhammaded Ali Jauhar. Muslim league's Head office after its formation was set up in Ali garh where it remained until 1910 when the Head office was shifted to Lukhnow. It functioned upto 1927 at Lukhnow. The same year it again transferred to Delhi where it remained till 1947.

According to several old historic books from archive, Nawab Sir Saleemullah Khan suggested the name "All India Muslim Confederacy". However, Sir Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III conceived and suggested the word "Muslim League". His suggestion was accorded by all especially those who were the prominent leaders of Muhammaded Education Conference, and the party was named "Muslim League". The information that the name was suggested by Sir Mian Muhammed Shafi is erroneously printed in General knowledge books of Dogar publishers Lahore Pakistan; which are often full of errors.
