Background
Yusuf originated from
the subcontinent for further Islamic studies, eventually becoming a student and disciple of Wajihuddin Alvi, who was also the teacher of Usman Bengali.[4] After gaining sufficient training from Alvi, he was permitted to migrate to Burhanpur where he maintained a khanqah as well as a madrasa.[5][3]
Yusuf became one of the most prominent scholars of the
Lakhnauti.[3] Pir Muhammad bin Abdul Halim was a longtime student of Yusuf, and Isa Burhanpuri was another notable student of Yusuf Bengali. Yusuf would also circumcise Muslim children after their birth, and most notably, Yusuf circumcised Sakah Ji Burhanpuri who would later become a leading Islamic scholar in Burhanpur.[6] Although Yusuf had many students, he did not accept anyone to be his murid (disciple), and instead directed his followers to his contemporary Tahir Yusuf Sindhi. He also had the same mentality for his two sons, Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman, both of whom became disciples of Sindhi.[4]
