Biography

[edit]

Khalid Saifullah Rahmani was born in November 1956.[5] He is the nephew of Islamic scholar and jurist, Mujahidul Islam Qasmi.[5] He received his primary education at home and studied at Madrasa Qasimul Uloom Hussainia for two years. He graduated from Jamia Rahmani in Munger and studied "dawra-e-hadith" (the hadith class of Dars-e-Nizami) again at Darul Uloom Deoband, and graduated from there in 1395 AH.[6] He later specialized in Islamic law and jurisprudence at Amarat-e-Sharia, Patna. His teachers include Sharif Hasan Deobandi, Mahmood Hasan Gangohi, Naseer Ahmad Khan, Nizamuddin Azami, Anzar Shah Kashmiri, and Muhammad Salim Qasmi. Rahmani also benefitted from his uncle Mujahidul Islam Qasmi.[6]

In 1398 AH, Rahmani started to teach at Madrasa Sabeelus-Salam, where he was appointed head teacher in 1399 AH. He taught there for 22 years and went on to establish Al Mahadul Aali Al Islami, Hyderabad.[7][8] He has also helped to found institutions such as Sabilul Falaah and Madrasa al-Falihat in Darbhanga; Madrasa Nurul Uloom, in Andhra Pradesh and Madrasa Talimul Quran lil-Banat in Karnataka.[9]

Rahmani is a member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board's Legal Council[10][9] and the general secretary of Islamic Fiqh Academy.[9] He is a regular columnist of the Friday edition of Munsif, and editor of Three Monthly Behs-o-Nazar, an Islamic juristic journal that Mujahidul Islam Qasmi had started.[11] In 2021, he was appointed interim, and subsequently prominent, general secretary of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board following Wali Rahmani's death,[12][13][14] after having served as a secretary of the Board.[15] On 3 June 2023, he was elected as the fifth president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board following the demise of Rabey Hasani Nadwi.[16][17][18][19][20]
