Sadriddin Ayni

Ayni was born into a peasant family in the village of Saktare in the Emirate of Bukhara on 27 April 1878 (New Style; the English lead and the Uzbek infobox give 15 April, the Julian form of the same day, which Wikidata also carries) ^{1 2 3}. Orphaned at twelve, he moved to Bukhara and attended the Mir-i-Arab madrasa, learning to write in Arabic while working as a janitor and cook, and became closely acquainted with Bukhara's intellectuals and a participant in the jadid enlightenment movement ¹.

In April 1917 Ayni refused to join a demonstration of loyalty to the Emir of Bukhara, was seized and given 75 blows with sticks and thrown into the Obhona prison, from which Bolshevik forces freed him ¹. His novel Dokhunda (1927) was the first Tajik novel; he sat in the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR for twenty years, received the Order of Lenin three times, and became the first president of the Academy of Sciences of the Tajik SSR ¹. He died at Stalinabad, now Dushanbe, on 15 July 1954; Wikidata also carries an unsupported 29 December 1954 value ^{1 3}.

No edition read gives Ayni any religion content at all: the English, Russian, Tajik, Uzbek, Arabic and Urdu texts name no affiliation, no infobox carries a religion field, and Wikidata records no religion value ^{1 4 2 3}. His Mir-i-Arab madrasa attendance is formation and his jadid participation a movement descriptor, and any Sufi colouring of his family milieu would be family background. His faith segment is therefore recorded as unknown under the two-source rule, in the absence configuration.
