im confused over three individual mufti rashid gangohi, mufti hassam gangoi and sheikul hind- im confused because i keep thinking these are the three same people

Wa Alaikum Salaam

sheikul hind = Hazrat Maulana Mahmood Hasan

faqiul ummah = Hazrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi

As far as I know they are not the same person.

Something which was posted elsewhere: I hope it helps.

There are two Mahmud al-Hasan’s.

The first is Shaykh al-Hind Mawlana Mahmud Hasan Deobandi, who as you say, was Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyya’s senior. He was the first student of Darul ‘Uloom Deoband. He was later appointed as Shaykh al-Hadith of Darul ‘Uloom. His Shuyukh include Maulana Qasim Nanautwi, Maulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi & Haji Imdadullah Muhajir Makki.

His students include the likes of ‘Allamah Anwar Shah Kashmiri, ‘Allamah Shabbir Ahmad ‘Uthmani, Hakeem al-Ummah Maulana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanwi, Maulana ‘Ubaidullah Sindhi and of course, Maulana Husain Ahmad Madni.

He was also at the forefront of the liberation struggle.

The second is Faqih al-Ummat Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan Gangohi, who is being referred to in this blog entry. He was Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyya’s junior. He was a graduate of Darul ‘Uloom Deoband and was later appointed Grand Mufti of Darul ‘Uloom Deoband. He also had the good fortune of teaching Imam al-Bukhari’s Sahih at Darul ‘Uloom.

He received khilafat from Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyya.

Mufti Ebrahim Desai of the Ask Imam site is his student and Khalifah. Mufti Mahmud al-Hasan Gangohi passed away only 11 years ago. Check the link below for more information.

Is there a Biography of Sheikh Ul Hind in urdu available online?

[duncanalisstmp]

Shaykh al-Hind Mahmud Hasan Deobandi who took from Maulana Qasim Nanotwi, Maulana Rashid Gangohi and Maulana Haji Imdadullah

Faqih al-ummah Mahmud Hasan Deobandi who took from Maulana Zakariyya Kandalwi. I think he was also imprisoned in South Africa ?
