The first issue of Bayyināt came into circulation under the editorial-ship of Abdur Rashid Numani.

A separate department, Shuba-i Tasnif was established in the Jamia Uloomul Islamia and delegated the responsibility for the publication of Bayyināt. In 1962 the annual subscription fee was a mere six rupees, fifty paisa for each month, and by 1977 the annual fee had increased to fifteen rupees, one rupee and fifty paisa for each copy of Bayyināt. Even though the price doubled from 1962 to 1977, it is nevertheless cheaply priced. The journal was issued on the 7th of each month of the Gregorian calendar. On average each copy of Bayyināt ran between fifty and eighty pages, however the special edition in memorial of Yusuf Banuri went over eight hundred pages, and contained black and white photographs of the Jamia Uloomul Islamia.
