Hazrat ʿAbd an-Nūr ʿAlī al-Gharkafnī (Arabic: عبد النور علي الغركفني‎, Bengali: আব্দুন নূর আলী গড়কাপনী; 1880-1963), or simply Allama Garkapani, was a Bengali Islamic scholar and politician.

Early life and education

Abdun Noor Ali was born in 1880 to a Bengali Muslim family in the village of Garkapan in Karimganj, Sylhet. His studied at the famous Alia Madrasah in Rampur State. He attained ijaazat-e-tareeqat in ilm-e-tasawwuf from Shah Jamalullah Rampuri. When Rampuri saheb decided to go on Hajj, Gorkaponi saheb wanted to join him as well but he couldn't afford the ship fare. Later that night, a random person came to Gorkaponi saheb and gave him eighty rupees and Gorkaponi saheb was able to go on hajj with his murshid. He never saw the donor ever again in his life.

Career

Garkapani Saheb was very much opposed to the Muslim League party and the Pakistan Movement. He was the president of the Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Hind's Assam branch, with Mawlana Ahmad Ali Badarpuri serving as its secretary.

One day, Gorkaponi saheb was meant to go to Kulaura from Badarpur by train but was running late. But the train randomly stopped for him and he was able to get on. As soon as he stepped in, the train restarted.

Every friday, Gorkaponi saheb would go to the mazar of Hazrat Adam Khaki and complete a khatm-e-quran and khatm-e-khwajagan. One day he requested Molana Abdul Latif Chowdhury Fultali to visit the mosque of Adam Khaki. In 1946, Fultali announced that he would be travelling to Badarpur to give a lesson on qira'at at Adam Khaki masjid. Gorkaponi saheb and his students purchased a horse for Fultali saheb to ride on so the journey could be easier.

Death and legacy

He died in 1963 and his mazar is in Gorkapon. His one and only khalifah was Maolana Abdul Mannan Shingairkuri but Hafiz Mushahid Ali was also his mureed.
