Harun Babunagari ( Bengali : হারুন বাবুনগরী ; 1902–1986; often referred to as Buzurgo Saheb ) was a Bangladeshi Deobandi Islamic scholar, Sufi and an exegete of the Quran. He was the founder and first Principal of Al-Jamiatul Islamiah Azizul Uloom Babunagar , one of the oldest Qawmi Madrasa in Bangladesh. [1]
Early life and education
Harun Babunagari was born in 1902, to a Bengali Muslim family in the village of Babunagar in Fatikchhari , Chittagong District . His father Sufi Azizur Rahman was the founder of Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam in Hathazari , and traced his ancestry to Caliph Abu Bakr . Babunagari had three other siblings, most notably Amin, a former head of the Hadith studies department at Al-Jamiatul Islamiah Azizul Uloom Babunagar . [2]
He completed his primary education at a primary school in Babunagar. He studied various subjects there, including Saadi Shirazi 's Gulistan - the most influential Persian prose in history. His father, Sufi Azizur Rahman , used to also teach him the Quran at home. After completing his primary studies, Babunagari joined Al-Jamia al-Arabia Nasirul Islam in Nazirhat Bazar , which was founded by his father, who also taught there. He studied there up until Kafiya. [3]
In Muharram 1341 AH (August/September 1922), Babunagari enrolled at Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam in Hathazari , which was also founded by his father. Due to family circumstances, he only studied up until Dawra-e-Hadith (Masters) and only learning up until Jamat-e-Ula Mishkat Sharif . He later completed studying Sihah Sittah with his elder brother, Amin. [4]
Career and Spirituality
Following the death of his father Sufi Azizur Rahman in 1922, Babunagari decided to fulfill his dreams. At the age of only 22, he established Al-Jamiatul Islamiah Azizul Uloom Babunagar in 1924. He served as the madrasa's principal up until his death in 1986. [5]
He also served as a murid to Zamiruddin Ahmad for 18 years. After the latter's death, he turned to Azizul Haq . During a gathering at the Hathazari eidgah , Haque stood up during Babunagari's speech and declared that he has given him permission of the four tariqa . [3]
Personal life and Death
Babunagari married Umme Salma and had five children. His eldest child, Muhibbullah Babunagari , succeeded his roles after his death. His daughter, Fatimah Khatun, was the mother of Junaid Babunagari . [6]
He died on 18 August, 1986 at the Chittagong Medicare Clinic. His janaza was performed the next day, led by his son Muhibbullah Babunagari . He was subsequently buried at the Maqbara-e-Haruni in the southern part of his madrasa in Babunagar. [6]
