Usman Bengali (Bengali: ওসমান বাঙ্গালী, Persian: عثمان بنگالی; d. 1570s) was a 16th-century Islamic scholar of Bengal.[2] He is mostly associated for his teaching in the town of Sambhal during the Mughal period.[3] His name is mentioned in the works of ʽAbd al-Qadir Badayuni and Abd al-Hayy al-Lucknawi, where he is described as one of the most famous of the Hanafi ulama of that period.[1]
Biography[edit]
Usman was born and raised in Bengal.[4] He completed his education relating to Islamic studies and Qur'an, eventually earning the title of Mawlana.[2] He later migrated to Sambhal in modern-day Uttar Pradesh where he studied under the renowned poet Miyan Hatim Sambhali. Intending to seek further knowledge, he proceeded to Gujarat where he became a student of Wajihuddin Alvi who was the teacher of Yusuf Bengali.[5] According to the Asrariyah treatise written by Kamal Muhammad Sambhali, Usman then went back to Sambhal where he permanently settled.[1]
During his old age, his students would regularly visit him at his home in Sambhal. On one occasion, Miyan Hatim Sambhali visited him, bringing his student ʽAbd al-Qadir Badayuni (who would later become the first Grand Mufti of India) along with him.[6] Usman Bengali died in the town of Sambhal, in 980 AH (1572-1573 CE).[1]
