Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi was born to a family of scholars in 1917 and was exposed to an environment of piety at a young age. He memorized the Quran at the age of ten and continued to study Hadith and the Islamic sciences. He had a deep connection with the scholars of the time and was recognized as one of the great Sufi scholars. After his father, Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi, died in 1944, he was appointed the 2nd Ameer of Tablighi Jamaat by the Shura (consultative body of religious leaders).
Education[edit]
As a young boy, he completed his primary education and studied Hadith, starting with the six main authentic collections, under the supervision of his father.
He then undertook a more specialized study of Hadith under the scholars of Mazahir Uloom Saharanpur, a specialized school that placed particular emphasis on the study of Hadith, and trained its students in the art of Islamic advocacy. At the school, he benefited from studying under the supervision of Sheikh Muhammad Zakariya Kandhlawi, one of the top scholars of Hadith in the Muslim world in the twentieth century. He graduated at the age of 20, in 1936 (1355 AH).[2]
Muhammad Yusuf memorized the Quran at the age of ten, from Hafiz Imam Khan Mewati. Syed Ahmad Faizabadi, the elder brother of Syed Husain Ahmad Madani, sent an honorary degree to Yusuf commemorating his memorization of the Quran.

Muntakhab Ahadith | Urdu/Arabic |
Muntakhab Ahadīth[edit]
Muntakhab Ahadith is a collection of hadith compiled in Arabic by the Islamic scholar Muhammad Yusuf Kandhalawi. The book is divided into seven sections and several sub-sections that correspond to the 'Sifat-us-Sahaba' or 'Characteristics of the Companions' that Jamaat Tabligh refers to and tries to implement. Over time, the seventh point stopped being referred to on its own, hence the Sifat is referred to as 'The Six Qualities'.
The book in its present form was organized by Maulana Muhammad Saad Kandhlawi the original compiler's grandson, who also translated the book into the Urdu language.
The book contains Quranic Ayaahs and Hadeeths from various authentic Hadeeth books of the past, in easily understandable translation to Urdu.Ahadeeth have been selected from books like Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Muwatta Imam Malik, Al Sunan Al Sughra, Sunan Ibn Majah etc.
Some scholars dispute the authenticity of this book and its relevance to the Tablighi Jamaat (though the specific aspect of authenticity is not mentioned - whether in the authenticity of Hadeeth, authorship, etc.), and proponents of this dispute vehemently deny this book to be associated with Maulana Yusuf Kandhlawi. However, the clear sectioning of the book into the six qualities, with subsections for each quality, makes it easy for the layman to look up narrations from the Quran and Ahadeeth relating to the six qualities. Explanations from scholars are easily sought since the exact verses and narrations can be quoted. This has positively facilitated the internalizing of the six qualities in light of the Quran, Ahadeeth, Sunnah, and the guidance of the rightly-guided scholars, which is one of the overarching aims of the Tablighi Jamaat.
There are 1507 Ahadeeth spread across different sections:
- Iman and Aqeedah (Faith) (200)
- Salah (Prayer) (280)
- Ilm and Dhikr (Knowledge and Remembrance (of Allah)) (333)
- Ikram Ul Muslimeen (Love and Respect for All Muslims) (390)
- Ikhlas (Sincerity of Intention) (62)
- Da'wah and Tabligh (Calling and Inviting People to Allah) (193)
- Avoiding the Irrelevant (49)
Family[edit]
He was married to the daughter of Muhammad Zakariyya al-Kandhlawi. The paternal and maternal families of Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi come together in Hakim Muhammad Sharif Khan who was a physician from Uzbekistan.[citation needed]
He had migrated to India and was a physician to the Mughal emperors Shah Alam II (ruled 1759 – 1806) and possibly to his son Akbar II (ruled 1806 – 1837). These two families were residing in the villages of Kandhla and Jhinjhana in Uttar Pradesh, India.[3]
Death[edit]
He died in Lahore in 1965, at the age of 48. His funeral at Delhi was attended by at least two hundred thousand mourners.[3]His funeral prayer was led by Muhammad Zakariya Kandhlawi and was buried next to the grave of his father Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi.[4]

Muhammad Saad Kandhlawi (born 10 May 1965) is an Indian Muslim scholar and preacher. He is great grandson of the Tablighi Jamat founder Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi.[1][2] He heads one faction of the Tablighi Jamat.[3][4]
Early life[edit]
Saad Kandhlawi was born on 10 May 1965 (1385 AH) in Western Uttar Pradesh's Kandhla town in Shamli District. He is great grand son of the founder of Tablighi Jamat, Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi through former ameer of the Tablighi Jamat Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi.[2]
He completed his Dars-e-Nizami studies from Madrasa Kashiful Uloom at Nizamuddin Markaz, New Delhi in 1987.[2][5]
Career[edit]
Former head of the Tablighi Jamat Inamul Hasan Kandhlawi had formed a 10-member legislation before his death in 1995 to look after the Jamat affairs and this legislation (commonly shura) was intact until 2015. Most of the scholars in this group died during these 20 years including Zubair ul Hassan Kandhlawi. A meeting was held in Raiwind Markaz on 16 November 2015 to fill up the vacant spaces of the shura legislation and a new shura consisting of 13 members including Muhammad Abdul Wahhab was formed. Kandhlawi did not agree with this shura and declared himself as the head of Jamat.[6]
Kandhlawi leads the Nizamuddin Markaz faction of the Jamat.[1][4]
Reception[edit]
Maulana Yusuf Kandhalvi Malfoozat Pdf
Some of Kandhlawi's statements lead the Deobandi scholars to issue fatawa against him. South African Mufti Ebrahim Desai published a fatwa on his website AskImam.[7] The Islamic seminary of India Darul Uloom Deoband issued a fatwa against Kandhlawi, questioning his leadership.[8][9][10]
Zaid Mazahiri of the Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama also wrote many treatises over this issue including Tablighi Jamat Ka Bahami Ikhtelaf awr Ittehad-o-Ittefaq awr Sulah-o-Safaii Ki ek Koshish (Internal Dispute of Tablighi Jamat: An attempt to mutually unite, and reconcile).[11] Following these reactions, British scholar Yusuf Motala wrote and spoke in the defence of Kandhlawi.[12]
Nizamuddin Markaz COVID-19 hotspot[edit]
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in India, a number of patients from Nizamuddin Markaz tested positive for coronavirus,[13] which resulted in the Delhi Government registering an FIR against Kandhlawi for organizing a Tablighi Jamat religious event at the Markaz, despite the restriction of such gatherings after 16 March.[14][15][16][17][18] They had also sought help from authorities for vacating the premises on 25 March.[19]
