Biography
[edit]Palanpuri was born in 1940 in Kaleda village, Vadgam then in the Palanpur State.[6] He studied at the Mazahir Uloom and then attended the Darul Uloom Deoband, where he graduated in traditional dars-e-nizami studies.[7][8] His teachers included Muhammad Tayyib Qasmi, Syed Fakhruddin Ahmad, Ibrahim Balyawi, Mahdi Hasan Shahjahanpuri, and Naseer Ahmad Khan.[9]

He was appointed as a teacher of Darul Uloom Deoband in 1973 at the recommendation of Manzur Nu'mani.[7][10] In 2008, he succeeded Naseer Ahmad Khan as Shaykh al-Hadith and also served as Principal.[8][11][12] His teaching career in Darul Uloom Deoband lasted for over 50 years.[13][14]
