Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi (1917–1965) was an Indian Islamic scholar who became the second ameer of the Tablighi Jamaat.[1][2]

Biography

Kandhlawi memorized the Quran at the age of ten, from Hafiz Imam Khan Mewati. Syed Ahmad Faizabadi, the elder brother of Syed Husain Ahmad Madani, sent an honorary degree to Yusuf commemorating his memorization of the Quran.

He graduated afrom Mazahir Uloom at the age of 20, in 1936 (1355 AH).[3]

He died in Lahore in 1965, at the age of 48. His funeral at Delhi was attended by at least two hundred thousand mourners.[4] His funeral prayer was led by Muhammad Zakariya Kandhlawi and was buried next to the grave of his father Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi.[5]
