Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi: His Life & Works

Hadhrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Saahib (rahmatullahi alayh) was born on a Friday, the 8/9 Jumaadus Saani 1325, exactly a hundred years after the demise of Qadhi Sanaaullah Paani Pati (rahmatullahi alayh) and two years after the demise of Hadhrat Moulana Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi (rahmatullahi alayh) in exactly the same month, on the same date and day.

Hadhrat Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wasallam has mentioned, "The Ulama are the inheritors and successors of the Ambiyaa (Prophets)." Their lives depict the practical life (Sunnah) of Sayyidunah Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Most definitely Hadhrat Mufti Saahib (rahmatullahi alayh) was among those saintly Ulama who Allah Ta'ala refers to in the Qur-aan as, "Be among the saintly ones ... " and " ... Only the Ulama fear Allah Ta'ala from amongst His bondsmen."

His entire life was a replica of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam. His life, his ways and advices serve as a beacon of light and hidaayat for the Ummah. His example serves as a clear path for those who wish to strive for the sake of Deen and wish to strengthen their contact and bond with Allah Ta'ala.
