ʿAbd al-Awwal Jaunpūrī (Urdu: عبد الاول جونپوری, Bengali: আব্দুল আউয়াল জৌনপুরী; 1867 – 18 June 1921) was an Indian Muslim scholar, religious preacher, educationist, poet and author. Described by Muhammad Mojlum Khan as one of the "most gifted and outstanding" of Karamat Ali Jaunpuri's many children,[1] he displayed an important role leading his father's founded Taiyuni reformist movement in Bengal.[2]
