Biography
[edit]Early Life and Education
Muhammad Saeedi [3](b. 1389 AH) is an Indian Islamic scholar. According to the Abjad numerical system, his name corresponds to "Farhat Asar," though he is more commonly known as "Muhammad."
Early Education
[edit]He received his initial education at home and memorized the Qur’an in the specialized division of the Maktab at Madrasa Mazahir Uloom (Waqf). He later studied foundational Arabic texts, primarily under the guidance of his father, Athar Husain.
Curriculum and Educational Approach
[edit]His father implemented a modified syllabus that diverged from the traditional Dars-e-Nizami curriculum. This program included selected works from the Nadwah curriculum, allowing Saeedi to complete his studies in a comparatively shorter time while emphasizing Arabic literature.
Formal Studies and Examinations
[edit]On 10 Shawwal 1406 AH (18 June 1986 CE), Saeedi sat for examinations in Mukhtasar al-Ma‘ani, Hidayah Awwalain, Maqamat Hariri, and Nur al-Anwar. He repeated the same year to review these texts along with Sab‘ah Mu‘allaqah.
In 1408 AH, he passed the annual examinations after studying Jalalain, Hidayah Thalith, Mishkat al-Masabih, its introduction, and Sharh Nukhbat al-Fikr.
Completion of Hadith Studies
[edit]In 1409 AH (1988 CE), he completed his Dora-e-Hadith and obtained high scores. His study of Bukhari Sharif was distributed among multiple instructors: the initial portion under Muhammad Yunus, the remainder under Mufti Muzaffar Husain, and the second volume under Rafiq Ahmad Bhainsanawi. The Book of Prayer from Muslim Sharif was also studied under Muhammad Yunus, with the rest of Muslim, along with Tirmidhi, Shama’il, Ibn Majah, Muwatta Imam Malik, Muwatta Imam Muhammad, and Tahawi Sharif taught by Mufti Muzaffar Husain. Portions of Abu Dawood Sharif and Nasa’i Sharif were studied under Muhammad Aqil, with the remainder covered by Mufti Muzaffar Husain.
He ranked first in his class during the 1409 AH annual examination, scoring 196 out of 200 marks and receiving a monetary award.
Peers
[edit]During his Dora-e-Hadith, his contemporaries included:
- Abdul Haseeb Azmi (Teacher at Mazahir Uloom)
- Laiq Ahmad Azmi (Bait ul-Uloom, Sarai Mir)
- Muhammad Isa Bijnori (Jama Masjid, Najibabad)
- Khalil Ahmad Deva (Falah-e-Darin, Turkeshwar, Gujarat)
Further Studies at Darul Uloom Waqf Deoband
[edit]Following his studies at Mazahir Uloom, Saeedi briefly enrolled at Darul Uloom Deoband and subsequently completed his Dora-e-Hadith in 1410 AH at Darul Uloom Waqf Deoband.
Instructors at Waqf Deoband included:
- Muhammad Salim Qasmi
- Muhammad Naeem Deobandi
- Khurshid Alam Qasmi
- Jameel Ahmad Sakrodi
- Muhammad Islam Qasmi
Teaching Career
[edit]Saeedi began his teaching career at Darul Uloom Shah Bahlul, Saharanpur, followed by a two-year tenure teaching Maqamat and Mishkat at Madrasa Abdur Rabb, Delhi.
In 1412 AH, Mufti Muzaffar Hussain appointed him to teach the Arabic Primary class at Mazahir Uloom. On 12 April 2001, he was reassigned to the Middle Class division.
Administrative Responsibilities
[edit]On 30 Jamadil Awwal 1424 AH, he was appointed Deputy Administrator of Mazahir Uloom based on a decision by the institution’s Shura (consultative council).
After the passing of Mufti Muzaffar Hussain on 28 Ramadan 1424 AH, Saeedi was publicly announced as his successor shortly before the funeral. This appointment was confirmed by the Shura on 7 Shawwal 1424 AH.
Authorization in Hadith

- Mahmood Hasan Gangohi
- Muzaffar Hussain
- Muhammad Yunus
- Muhammad Aqil
- Muhammad Salman Saharanpuri
- Muhammad Zaid Farooqi Dehlawi
His chain of transmission (isnad) for Sahih al-Bukhari includes twelve intermediaries between himself and Imam Bukhari.
Spiritual Affiliations
[edit]He took the spiritual pledge (bai'at) with Shah Abrar ul Haque and received khilafah (spiritual succession) from Muzaffar Hussain on 1 Sha'ban 1415 AH. He also received khilafah from Athar Husain, Zafar Ahmad Saharanpuri, and Abdul Latif Nalherwi.
