Biography[edit]

Rahmatullah Mir Qasmi was born on 22 July 1957.[3] He graduated from the Darul Uloom Deoband in 1978.[3] He is an authorized disciple of Mahmood Hasan Gangohi in Tasawwuf.[4][5] He established Darul Uloom Raheemiyyah, one of the largest Islamic madrasa in Bandipore, Kashmir in 1979.[6] The seminary follows the methodology of Darul Uloom Deoband.[7] He is a founding member of All India Muslim Personal Law Board and a senior member of the managing committee of Darul Uloom Deoband. He is also a member of the working committee of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind.[8][9][10]

In 2018, disagreeing with the J&K State Board of Madrasa Education Act, Qasmi said that, "We know how government interference deteriorated those religious institutions which are affiliated with Waqf."[11] He also said that giving authorization to the boards to take control of accounts in these Madrasas will lead to malpractice in utilization of funds donated by people towards these institutions.[11]
