Biography

Mufti Ghulam Rasool was born in 1923 in the city of Gujrāt, Pakistan. He received the major part of his Islamic education from the “Teacher of the Teachers” `Allāmah Sultān Ahmad d. 1999/1420 whose educational transmission extends to the renowned scholar and jurist of his era `Allāmah Fadl al-Haq Khayrābādī d. 1278/1861. During his stay in Pakistan he taught the Islamic sciences as well as issuing fatwas on various issues.

In 1985 he moved to Britain and began teaching in London at the madrassa (Islamic school) of one of the world’s foremost Muslim scholars, Mufakkir al-Islam Sayyid `Abd al-Qādir Jilānī. During this period, he was also appointed honorary Mufti of The Muslim Council UK in 1990 and has since issued over two thousand fatwas. Fluent in Arabic, Persian and Urdu, the Mufti is a master in numerous fields of Islamic scholarship including Jurisprudence, Principles of Jurisprudence, Exegeses, Principles of Exegesis, hadith, Principles of hadith, Doctrine, Logic, Scholastic Theology, Philosophy, Sufism, Moral and Ethical Philosophy, Polemics, Astronomy, Morphology, Syntax, Rhetoric, Oratory, Lexicology, Literature (including pre-Islamic), Poetry and others. As well as teaching and issuing fatwas, he has authored around forty books on a variety of topics from the aforementioned sciences.

His command on the sacred and legal sources, and the ability to apply them to practical legal problems is the cause for his reverence among the more learned Sunni circles of the sub-continent. One of his most famous works is a compilation of fatwas written in Britain called Fatawa Britannia stretching to nearly 800 pages and includes many matters pertaining to legal issues that concern Muslims living in Britain. He has continued to write fatwas which could potenially be published in another two volumes. [ [http://www.yanabi.com/activeweb.cfm?a_id=1449 Mufti Ghulam Rasool Jamaati - YaNabi.com ] ]
