Abul Wafa al-Afghani

Abul Wafa Syed Mahmūd Shah al-Qadri al-Hanafi al-Afghani[1] (1893–1975), also known as Abu Wafa Al Afghani, was a Hyderabad-based Afghani Islamic scholar, Hanafi faqih, and researcher.

Early life and education

Abul Wafa Al-Afghani was born in Qandahar on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah 1310 AH (25 June 1893 AD). His father, Syed Mubarak Shah Qadri, was an Islamic scholar.[2][3][4]

He came to India from Qandhar for study and studied with scholars in Rampur and Gujarat in his teenage years. He subsequently traveled to Hyderabad, Deccan, in 1330 AH (1912) and enrolled in Madrasa Nizamia, where he graduated. His teachers included Anwarullah Farooqui, the founder of Jamia Nizamiya and Dairat al-Maarif al-Usmania, as well as Sheikh Abdus Samad, Sheikh Abdul Karim, Sheikh Ruknuddin, and Qari Muhammad Ayyub.[2][5]

Career

Following graduation, Afghani was appointed as a teacher at Madrasa Nizamia, where he spent several years teaching literary Arabic, jurisprudence, and hadith.[6]

In 1948, under his supervision and with the support of his friends, he established a committee for the revival of Nu'mani sciences, Lajnat-u-Ihya al-Ma'ārif an-Nu'maniyyah, under which he published many valuable books of the Imams of the second and third centuries of Hijri. He volunteered his time, wealth, and knowledge to the extent possible.[6][7][8][9]

Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda, who visited him, states that "there was nothing in his house except books, manuscripts, and writings. These books would be spread all around him. Abul Wafa would have only a few morsels at night, and his nights would be spent supplicating Allah."[10]

Books worked on

Afghani worked on the following books:[11][12][13][14]

Death

Afghani died on 13 Rajab 1395 AH (23 July 1975) in Hyderabad and was buried in Anwar-e-Naqshbandi Chaman, Misriganj, in Hyderabad.[4][32]
