Abdullah Ghaznavi (1811 – 15 February 1881) was an Afghan-Indian Muslim scholar and pietist. A pupil of Sayyid Nazir Husain,^[1] he was exiled from his native Ghazni, Afghanistan on account of his adherence to and propagation of Ahl-i Hadith doctrines and had settled in Amritsar, Punjab, where he soon began attracting his own circle of students and admirers.^[2] According to political scientist Dietrich Reetz, Abdullah Ghaznavi represented the ascetic tradition within the leadership of the early Ahl-i Hadith movement in contrast to those who reflected the sect's increasing popularity among the urban elites.^[3]
