Hazrat Shāh Ṣūfī ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān al-Ḥanafī (Bengali: আব্দুর রহমান হানাফী; c. 1900 – 18 May 1964), also referred to as Pir Saheb Sonakanda (Bengali: পীর সাহেব সোনাকান্দা), was a Bengali Islamic scholar and the inaugural Pir of Sonakanda Darbar Sharif in Comilla, Bangladesh.
Birth and family[edit]
Ghazi Abdur Rahman was born in Magh 1306 (c. 1900) to a Bengali Muslim family of Ghazis in the village of Sonakanda in the Tipperah district of the British Raj (now Muradnagar, Comilla, Bangladesh). His father, Shah Sufi Ghazi Afsaruddin, was a munshi who served as the headteacher of Sreekail Minor School and was a murid of Hafiz Ahmad Jaunpuri. Among his students were former Law Minister Kamini Kumar Dutta and Captain Narendranath Dutta (founder of Sreekail Govt. College). The Ghazi family's ancestors arrived to Bengal from eastern Punjab, settling in the village of Ghazipur in Muradnagar, Comilla, which was named after them. His grandfather, Shah Sufi Ghazi Ali, had moved from Ghazipur to the nearby village of Sonakanda. Abdur Rahman's nasab is given as follows: Shah Sufi Ghazi Abdur Rahman, son of Shah Sufi Ghazi Afsaruddin Munshi, son of Shah Sufi Ghazi Ali, son of Shah Sufi Ayinda Ghazi, son of Shah Sufi Natwan Ghazi, son of Ghazi Munshi Muhammad Reza.
Abdur Rahman's mother, Nawaza Khatun, was the daughter of Yusuf Mollah from the nearby village of Bhootail. Yusuf Mollah was a scholar who was well-versed in Persian and Arabic and a murid of Hafiz Ahmad Jaunpuri. He would write the Qur'an with his own hands and distribute it to people. One handwritten mushaf is preserved in Sonakanda Darbar Sharif.
Twelve years before Ghazi Abdur Rahman Hanafi was born, his parents had a son named Ghazi Zahir Ahmad who passed away not long after he was born. Ghazi Abdur Rahman Hanafi was the oldest of the four children of Ghazi Afsaruddin Munshi. He had two younger sisters.
Education[edit]
His education began under his father, Ghazi Afsaruddin Munshi, who taught him Arabic Qayda. He then went to the nearby maktab in Rajnagar village where he studied under Anbar Ali Munshi. After that, he studied at the Shahedagop Maktab. Eventually, he enrolled at the Harang Madrasa in Chandinapur where he studied under Mawlana Idris Kumillai until Jamaat-e-Panjam (Dakhil). He then enrolled at the famous Hammadia Madrasa in Dacca to complete Jamaat-e-Chahram (Alim). He stayed there for a long time, eventually graduating from Hammadia Madrasa's Jamaat-e-Ula (Fazil) programme in 1330 Bangla /1923.
He returned home to Comilla district, but his father then instructed him to learn Qariana. So then, Mawlana Abdur Rahman Hanafi went to Daulatpur in Noakhali, where he spent two years studying under the renowned Qari Muhammad Ibrahim Ujani.
Brief career before travels[edit]
His teachers requested that he does khidmat for some time at Hammadia Madrasa. However, Moulvi Bakhsh Ali of Rasulpur requested Mawlana Abdur Rahman Hanafi to help establish an Eidgah in Khamar to serve the Muslim communities of Khamar, Khapura and Bangora. He also requested him to start a Qariana school in Khamar. And so, Mawlana Abdur Rahman eventually established the Khamar Dakhil Madrasa in Chaitra 1332/1926. Hasan Ali Haji of Khamar donated the land for the madrasa. Mawlana Abdur Rahman taught in the madrasa and served as the Imam Saheb of Khamar Eidgah for the rest of his life.
In 1336 Bangla (1929), he gave bay'at to Mujaddid-e-Zamaan Allamah Mohammad Abu Bakr Siddiqui al-Quraishi of Furfura Sharif, Hooghly district. The Allamah was visiting Comilla and was a guest at the home of Janaab Abud Miah Sahib in Comilla Faujdari Kachari. Abud Miah was originally from the village of Bhabanghar in Muradnagar and a mureed of Mujaddid-e-Zamaan.
Travels[edit]
He set off for Hajj and ziyarat to Arabia at the age of 36 in Poush 1342 (1935/36) after finishing his zuhor prayers. He entrusted the leadership of Khamar Dakhil Madrasa to his nephew, Mawlana Ghazi Abdul Majid.
After spending such a long time in the ship, he eventually reached the city of Jeddah. He then went to Modina, where he began doing hifzul-quran under Shaykh Dawud al-Tafrooni and also revised sihah-e-sittah. He began in 20/25 of Zul Hijjah and finished in 18 paras by the month of Sha'baan. He then done a second Hajj (Hajj-e-Badal) for his mother, Nawaza Khatun, who was the daughter of Yusuf Mollah (RH). After that, he completed the remaining 12 paras with al-Hafiz Abdul Haq al-Makki. Having completed his hifz, Hafez Abdur Rahman then did ziyaarat of various places in Mecca Sharif.
He then began his studies of the Zaahir-o-Baatin, studying in several madrasas in Mecca such as the famous Sultania Madrasa, Fakhria Madrasa, Arifia Madrasa and Saudia Madrasa. After studying under various ulama-e-keram, he then went to Taif for ziyaarat. After that, Hafez Abdur Rahman Hanafi then travelled to Egypt, Baitul Muqaddas (Jerusalem), Ghare Sulaiman, Bethlehem, Khalilur Rahman (Hebron), Safed, Basra Momel, Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf, Kufa etc. In Baghdad Sharif, he pledged bay'at-e-tabarruk in tareeqat-e-Qadiria to Sayyid Ahmad Sharfuddin al-Qadri, the direct descendant of Naqib Ghous-e-Pak Abdul Qadir Gilani. Basra was the last place he visited in the Middle East. From Basra, he jumped on the Abina ship which took him to India. In India, he visited Ajmer and Dehli.
He then returned to Bengal. He stayed for a night at the Musafirkhana of Nakhoda Masjid in Calcutta. The next morning at 9am, he visited No. 9 Halder Lane, a two-storey building in the city, where his Pir-o-Murshid Mujaddid-e-Zamaan Mohammad Abu Bakr Siddiqui al-Quraishi Saheb of Furfura Sharif was staying at. Mujaddid-e-Zaman was overjoyed hearing the travel stories of his mureed Mawlana Abdur Rahman Hanafi and did munajat. Mujaddid-e-Zaman then granted the ijaazat-e-tareeqat in Muhammadia, Chishtia, Naqshbandia-Mujaddidia, Qadiria to Mawlana Abdur Rahman Hanafi. He had given bay'at to Furfurar Sahib in 1336 and received khilaafat in 1345 (1938). It is notable that Mawlana Abdur Rahman Hanafi of Sonakanda was the final person receive khilaafat from Mujaddid-e-Zaman al-Furfurawi.
He was finally instructed to return to Comilla. Before reaching Sonakanda, he visited the village of Khamar which was the madrasa which he had founded. He spent the night there, did dua-munajat and returned to Sonakanda in 5 Asharh 1345. He spent a total of four years travelling in Middle East and subcontinent, completing a total of 3 hajjs.
Career after travels[edit]
He was not involved in politics much, but he did contribute to the anti-colonial movement, Pakistan Movement and Islamic movement. He later established a non-political organisation known as "Anjuman-e-Mueen-ul-Muslimeen". He had ijaazat to spread the teachings of Sayyid Ahmad Sharfuddin al-Qadri from Baghdad. After returning from his travels, he was shocked by the Hindu influence in the villages of northern Comilla, especially Shreekail which was a holy place for Hindus not far from Sonakanda and Khamar. He wanted to revive the Muslim spirit in the region once again and so he began to take initiative. He went to Noakhali several times but it was written that his main region of Dawah would be in Comilla.
He founded the Sonakanda Darbar Sharif and Darul Huda Furqania-Hafizia Madrasa on 20 December 1940. Hanafi gave waqf of 1 acre of 11 Shotok land from his ancestral land to establish this madrasa. Besides, 21.5 kani land was purchased with the help of local people of the area. In 1955, the Madrasa was upgraded from Old Scheme Madrasa to New Scheme Madrasa. Then in 1958 the madrasa was made an Alim Madrasa and in 1960 became a Fazil Madrasa. Then with the efforts of the local educationists permission was obtained to receive the Kamil status on 29 February 1964, at that time 7 students were enrolled in the Kamil programme. He also founded Sonakanda Primary School, Sonakanda Library, Khanqah-e-Siddiqia, Lillah Boarding, Post Office, Orphanage and Hostel. He also founded the Darul Huda Graveyard.
He also contributed to the establishment of:
- Dwimura Rahmania Fazil Madrasa in Bahubal, Habiganj

Ghazi Abdur Rahman Hanafi and Sahera Khatun had five sons and five daughters: Fatema Khatun, Ghazi Abdul Awwal (died early), Zahera Khatun, Jamila Khatun, Zubayda Khatun (died early), Ghazi Shamsul Huda (Abu Bakr), Ghazi Sultan Ahmad (Abu Saeed), Sakina Khatun, Ghazi Abdullah (stillborn) and Ghazi Abdul Quddus (Abu Nasr).
