Shaykh Sayyid Hamdani

Sayyid Mohammed Hamdani, grandson of the renowned classical Arabic grammarian and hadith master Shaykh Sayyid Ghulam Jilani Merthi, began his pursuit of sacred knowledge under the tutelage of his father, Sayyid Shaykh Irfani Miyan Sahib Ashrafi. His dedication to advanced Islamic studies led him to travel to India to undertake a full-time comprehensive Islamic syllabus. Upon his return to England at the age of 23, he continued to deepen his understanding, studying under esteemed scholars such as Mufti Mohammad Aslam Bandyalvi Sahib and Mufti Mohammad Fazil Bandiyalvi in Bradford, UK.

Currently, Sayyid Hamdani serves as an instructor and teacher at the House of Wisdom and serves communities across the north of England. His commitment to Islamic education is evident in the numerous courses he has delivered on the fundamentals of Islam, as well as his teaching of the traditional Dars-e-Nizami syllabus. Through his teaching and leadership, Sayyid Hamdani continues to contribute significantly to the religious education of the community. In addition, Sayyid Hamdani has also completed a BA(Hons) Islamic Studies this year and is a Hafiz of the Quran.
