Biography Mufti Muhammad Akmal Madani

BIOGRAPHY 

Allah the Almighty has blessed the humanity with such personalities who have dedicated their lives to guide the mankind to the straight path which they had forgotten. All the Prophets of Allah had performed the same duty of guiding the humanity to the way of salvation. Our Beloved Prophet ﷺ is the last and final messenger of Allah and after him this noble task has been assigned to the Scholars/Ulama of this Ummah. Beloved Prophet ﷺ declared the scholars as his heirs and the heirs of all Messengers. Among these intellectual heirs of Rasool Ullah ﷺ is the name of a great personality who almost created a revolution in the society by his books, speeches and Tv programmes, the great scholar and cleric of the present era, Ustaz ul Ulama Allama Mufti Muhammad Akmal Madani.

Birth and Early life

Religious Education

For this noble cause he at first studied under the supervision of Ustazul Ulama Mufti Ilyaas Razawi, Principal Nadra-tul-Uloom (may Allah preserve him). Then to fulfill his thirst of knowledge, he left his home-town Karachi for Lahore. He got enrolled in the prestigious Islamic institution Jamia Nizamia Razawiyya, Lahore and spent seven years in acquiring traditional Islamic education (Dars-e-Nizami) under the supervision of great scholars,clerics and intellectuals of Islam.
