Shah Abdul Wahhab (born 1831)

Shah Abdul Wahhab, also known as A'la Hadrat, was a Sunni Islamic scholar and reformer. He was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was from the southern part of India. Like Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlvi, he was worried about the state of the South Indian Muslims, especially those of Nagore and its nearby regions. In 1857, he founded the Madrasa Al-Baqiyat As-Salihat in Vellore.
