To close the gap between British Christians and the Indian Muslims, Sir Syed wrote 'The Loyal Mohammedans of India' in which he asked the British to end their hostility and proved that Muslims were loyal to the British. Furthermore, he wrote Tabyin-ul-Kalam, showing the similarities between the Quran and the Bible. He also established British Indian Association and continued to support both, closing the gap between Christians and Muslims.
