Biography

Khalid Saifullah Rahmani was born in November 1956. He is the nephew of Islamic scholar and jurist, Mujahidul Islam Qasmi. 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. 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.

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. 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.

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.
