Deoband. Anwar Shah Kashmiri, a prominent Islamic scholar, called him Faqih al-Nafs (original jurist) and considered him even superior to Ibn Abidin, the author of the famous commentary of Radd al-Muhtar. Kashmiri said that he didn't see anyone parallel to Gangohi in Fiqh during the century's span among the group of well-qualified Ulama (Islamic scholars). Gangohi objected to the internal shortcomings of Muslims, curbing on the polytheistic customs and beliefs that crept into Muslims and struggled for the restoration of the glory of the past Muslims through his Fatwas.
