Abstract
Mahmud bin Abdullah known as Allama Alusi was the Mufti of
Baghdad. His genealogy goes back to the Prophet's grandson, Hazrat
Hussain bin Ali, for that reason he is called Al-Husseini. He was born
in the city of Alus. He got education from all the esteemed scholars
of science and art of the thirteenth century AH. After acquiring
knowledge, he continued to perform various scholarly services in
which he took charge of Hanafi Masnad-e-Ifta by the orders of
Sultan. He was a mujtahid, jurist, commentator, writer, poet, best
calligrapher and his poetry also has a special place in Arabic
literature. With all these sciences, a prominent aspect of his life he
was a Sufi who linked with the Naqshbandiyya through his spritual
leader shaihk Khalid Kurdi. The style and content of his commentary
“Ruh al-Maani” has influenced almost all the commentators of the
subcontinent. There is probably no Urdu commentary in the
subcontinent which is not directly or indirectly influenced by Allama
Alusi Baghdadi. He lived a short life of 53 years but left a huge impact
of knowledge for the rest of the world. He was buried in the tomb of
Sheikh Maroof Karkhi.
