Anwar Shah Kashmiri was an Islamic scholar from Kashmir in the early twentieth century,best known for his expertise in the study of hadith,a strong memory,and a unique approach to interpreting traditions,as well as the fourth principal of Darul Uloom Deoband. With an ancestral heritage of religious scholarship rooted in Baghdad,he acquired training in Islamic sciences at Darul Uloom Deoband under the mentorship of Mahmud Hasan Deobandi,alongside enjoying a spiritual journey with Rashid Ahmad Gangohi. Initiating his vocation as the first principal of Madrasa Aminia,he embarked on a hajj in 1906 with a sojourn in Medina,dedicated to exploring the depths of hadith literature.

Yet,the bulk of his literary legacy has been preserved through the efforts of his students,who transcribed his classroom lectures,discourses,and sermons.
