Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi (1829-1908) was a well-known Faqeeh (jurist) and mufti of his time, and a disciple of Hadhrat Imadadullah Mahajir Makki. Based in Gangoh, a country town in the Upper Doab area, one hundred miles or so from Delhi, he was one of the founders of the reformist madrasa at Deoband (1867). Known primarily as a scholar of hadith and Hanafi fiqh, he also served as a spiritual guide in the Chisti Sabiri lineage, which combined initiation and practices of other lineages, particularly the Naqshbandi Mujaddidi.[1]
