This needs to be rephrased and added to the article:


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 Sultān Ahmad 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, 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 books are generally meant for the scholars (`ulamā’) or the more learned audience. In terms of his work on jurisprudence, his classical style of fatwa writing has acclaimed him great authority as detail, comprehensiveness and rigour are not excluded from any of his fatwas. 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.

Much of the information on this article was untrue and biased towards Molwi Ghulam Rasool Jamaati's supporters. The truth is that Molwi Ghulam Rasool Jamaati is considered a Tafzili Shia by Sunni scholars both in Pakistan and the UK and Hazrat Pir Sayyid Nasiruddin Naseer (rahmatullahi alaih) refuted him. Thus, I have removed such information.

Please give sources for such changes. -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 21:45, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
