**Yahya Alampuri** (15 June 1947 – 3 June 2023) was a Bangladeshi Islamic scholar and educationist who served as the 7th Director-General of [Darul Uloom Hathazari](/source/Darul_Uloom_Hathazari). He also held senior positions in several religious organizations, including senior vice-president of [Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh](/source/Hefazat-e-Islam_Bangladesh), vice-chairman of [Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh](/source/Befaqul_Madarisil_Arabia_Bangladesh), amir of the [International Majlis-e Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e Nobuwat Bangladesh](/source/International_Majlis-e_Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e_Nobuwat_Bangladesh), member of the [Al-Haiatul Ulya Lil-Jamiatil Qawmia Bangladesh](/source/Al-Haiatul_Ulya_Lil-Jamiatil_Qawmia_Bangladesh), and chairman of the Bangladesh Nurani Talimul Qur'an Board Chattogram.

## Early background

Muhammad Yahya was born on 15 June 1947 in Alampur village of [Hathazari Upazila](/source/Hathazari_Upazila), [Chittagong District](/source/Chittagong_District).[1] His father, Kazi Abdul Aziz, was a disciple of [Zamiruddin Ahmad](/source/Zamiruddin_Ahmad), and his mother, Anjuman Khatun, was a disciple of [Saeed Ahmad Sandwipi](/source/Saeed_Ahmad_Sandwipi).[1] At the age of ten, he completed his primary madrasa education under Nurul Haque Alampuri in the Furqania section of [Darul Uloom Hathazari](/source/Darul_Uloom_Hathazari), where he continued his studies and received the Dawra-e-Hadith degree in 1973.[1] His teachers included [Muhammad Faizullah](/source/Muhammad_Faizullah), [Siddique Ahmad](/source/Siddique_Ahmad), and [Shah Ahmad Shafi](/source/Shah_Ahmad_Shafi), the latter of whom later granted him spiritual authorization (khilafah) in four [Sufi orders](/source/Tariqa).[2]

## Career

After completing his studies in 1973, Yahya began his career as a teacher at Garduara Madrasa in Hathazari, where he worked for nine years, followed by three years at Madarsha Madrasa and six years at Ishapur Faiziya Tajbidul Qur'an Madrasa.[3] In 1991, he joined Darul Uloom Hathazari at the invitation of Shafi, then the institution's director-general.[1] Over the following decades, he managed the madrasa's accounts department, oversaw development activities, and served on Shura committees of various [Qawmi madrasas](/source/Qawmi_madrasa) across Chittagong and other regions.[1] After the [death of Shafi](/source/Death_of_Shah_Ahmad_Shafi) in September 2020, Yahya was made a member of the three-person Majlis-e-Idari, which was created to perform the duties of the director-general collectively.[4] The following year, after the sudden death of [Abdus Salam Chatgami](/source/Abdus_Salam_Chatgami), he was appointed director-general of Darul Uloom Hathazari, a post he held until his death in 2023.[5]

Yahya took a critical stance on government recognition of Qawmi madrasa certificates, arguing that institutions should remain independent of state authority, similar to the position of [Darul Uloom Deoband](/source/Darul_Uloom_Deoband). He drafted a policy framework for Hathazari to be implemented with approval from the Majlis-e-Shura and later applied through networks of alumni in affiliated institutions.[6] Beyond Hathazari, he held senior roles in several organizations, including serving as senior vice-president of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, vice-chairman of Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh, president of the [International Majlis-e Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e Nobuwat Bangladesh](/source/International_Majlis-e_Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e_Nobuwat_Bangladesh), member of the [Al-Haiatul Ulya Lil-Jamiatil Qawmia Bangladesh](/source/Al-Haiatul_Ulya_Lil-Jamiatil_Qawmia_Bangladesh), and chairman of the Bangladesh Nurani Talimul Qur'an Board Chattogram.[3] Yahya died on 3 June 2023 while receiving treatment at [United Hospital](/source/United_Hospital_Limited) in Dhaka;[7] his funeral took place the same evening after [Maghrib prayers](/source/Maghrib_prayer), and he was buried in the madrasa graveyard.[8] He was succeeded as director-general of Darul Uloom Hathazari by [Khalil Ahmad Qasmi](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khalil_Ahmad_Qasmi&action=edit&redlink=1).[9]
