Abdullah Darkhawasti (1887–1994) was a Pakistani Sunni Deobandi Islamic scholar[1], who was the Amir of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam.[2] and co-founded Markazi Jamiatul Ulama-e-Islam along with Mufti Mahmud, Ahmad Ali Lahori and others in 1956.[3]
Darkhwasti was born in Muharram 1313 AH in Basti Darkhawst near Khanpur. He studied his primary classes under his father and later became a student of Ghulam Muhammad Deenpuri, a disciple of Hafiz Muhammad Siddique. Anwar Shah Kashmiri gave him the title of Hafiz al-Hadees. Darkhwasti was the founder of millions of Islamic Institutions (Madarsas) and Mosque. [4] Darkhwasti died on 28 August 1994. His last rites were performed on the next day and was buried nearby Ubaidullah Sindhi.[5] at historical graveyard of Deenpur Sharif.
He played a key role in getting the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community declared as non Muslims in Pakistan.[6][5]
