Dr Allama Khalid Maḥmūd (17 October 1925 – 14 May 2020) was a Pakistani Sunni Islamic scholar[1] who served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. He established the Islamic Academy and City Jamia Masjid in Manchester, England, and was best known for his works related to the Finality of the Prophethood.[2]
Education
[edit]Maḥmūd studied Islamic Sciences from Muhammad Zakariya Kandhlawi, Shamsul Haq Afghani, Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, and Badre Alam Meerthi. He received his PhD degree in 1970 from the University of Birmingham.[3] He also completed his master's degrees in Arabic, Persian, Philosophy & Theology, also achieving an LLB in Law.[citation needed]
Career
[edit]He served as a senior Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (Shariat Appellate Bench).[4] He was also director of the Islamic Academy of Manchester UK.[5] He founded a purpose-built mosque, Gity Jamia Masjid, in Manchester.[citation needed]
Mahmood was the Shaykh-ul-Hadith of Jamia Ashrafia, Lahore, and the head of the Islamic Center Manchester.[6]
In the UK during the 1960s, he worked with Asif Husain Farooqi and Yusuf Motala and worked alongside him (before establishing Dar-ul-Uloom Bury).[citation needed]
He travelled to over 50 countries in his lifetime with regard to his Islamic works, focusing on establishing the message relating to the Finality of the Prophethood. Manzoor Ahmad Chinioti accompanied Mahmood on many of the travels relating to these works; most notably spending a 6-month period in South Africa in the 1970s whilst contention relating to Khatm-e-Nabuwwat was rife - soon after the opposing view began to be spread in these areas.[citation needed]
Throughout his lifetime, Mahmood established many Masājid and Islamic centres across the world, especially in poverty-stricken areas - for example within Ghana, Gambia, and many throughout South-East Asia, whilst also setting-up many other charities in these areas to provide aid in the form of orphanages, health centres, and food banks.[citation needed]
