**Majd ad-Dīn al-Madanī** ([Arabic](/source/Arabic_language): مجد الدین المدنی; d. 1813),[1] also known as **Madan Shāhjahānpūrī** ([Arabic](/source/Arabic_language): مدن شاہجہانپوری),[2] was an 18th-century [Indian Muslim](/source/Indian_Muslim) theologian. He served as the first principal of the [Calcutta Madrasa](/source/Aliah_University), the first [Alia Madrasa](/source/Alia_Madrasah_Education_Board) of [Bengal](/source/Bengal).[3]

## Early life and education

Majduddin was born in the 18th century to Tahir al-Husayni in [Shahjahanpur](/source/Shahjahanpur_district), [greater Bareilly](/source/Bareilly_division), [North India](/source/North_India).[1] He studied under Shaykh [Wahhaj ad-Din](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wahhaj_ad-Din_Gupamawi&action=edit&redlink=1) in [Gopamau](/source/Gopamau), [Hardoi](/source/Hardoi_district), who was also the teacher of Muhammad Salih Bengali, It ialso said that Majduddin was a student of Qazi Mubarak,[4] as well as being a senior student of [Shah Waliullah Dehlawi](/source/Shah_Waliullah_Dehlawi), the erstwhile *[Imam](/source/Imam) al-[Hind](/source/India)*.[5] In addition to [Islamic jurisprudence](/source/Islamic_jurisprudence), Majduddin was trained in [rhetoric](/source/Rhetoric) and logic.[6]

## Career

In the last quarter of the 18th century, British administrators realised that it was essential to learn the various religious, social, and legal customs and precedents of [the subcontinent](/source/The_subcontinent) in order to better manage its administration. As part of this initiative, [Warren Hastings](/source/Warren_Hastings), the inaugural [Governor-General of the Presidency of Fort William](/source/Governor-General_of_the_Presidency_of_Fort_William), founded the [Calcutta Mohammedan College](/source/Aliah_University) in October 1780. Mullah Majduddin visited [Calcutta](/source/Calcutta) in September, where he had a large following. On 21 September,[7] several Muslims requested Hastings to use his influence to employ Majduddin as a teacher at the madrasa.[8] Thus, Majduddin became the madrasa's first head preceptor, serving that role for roughly a decade. He is often credited for introducing the [Dars-i Nizami](/source/Dars-i_Nizami), a popular Islamic curriculum of North India, to [Bengal](/source/Bengal) and neighbouring lands,[5] although students of [Nizamuddin Sihalivi](/source/Nizamuddin_Sihalivi) had reached Bengal, such as [Abdul Ali Bahrul Ulum](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abdul_Ali_Bahrul_Ulum&action=edit&redlink=1) (teacher of Ghulam Mustafa Burdwani). He formulated the syllabus of the [madrasa](/source/Madrasa). Alongside fundamental Islamic teachings and jurisprudence, he also included the teaching of mathematics, logic and philosophy. The activities of the Madrasa-i-Alia were undertaken in his own home for the first seven months. During this time, he received a monthly wage of 300 *taka*s as the madrasa's principal.[6][9]

In 1791, Majduddin was removed following an investigation conspired by the British Collector of [24 Parganas](/source/24_Parganas) accusing him of alleged mismanagement.[10] Following his [dismissal](/source/Dismissal_(employment)) from Calcutta, Majduddin found employment as the *[Qadi](/source/Qadi)* of [Lucknow](/source/Lucknow), under the [Nawab of Awadh](/source/Nawab_of_Awadh) [Saadat Ali Khan II](/source/Saadat_Ali_Khan_II). However, under political circumstances, he left this career and returned to [Bareilly](/source/Bareilly_division), where he began teaching [Islamic jurisprudence](/source/Fiqh) at the [Dargah](/source/Dargah) of Hafizul Mulk.[11] One of his notable students of Bareilly was [Salamat Ullah Kashfi](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salamat_Ullah_Kashfi&action=edit&redlink=1).[12] Majduddin died in 1813.
