Hazrat
Maulana Yunus Patel (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ) received his higher Islamic education at Darul-Uloom
Deoband during the period 1962 – 1969. Hazrat Maulana studied the first volume
of Sahih al-Bukhari under the
tutorship of Hazrat Maulana Fakhruddeen (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ) and the second
volume under Hazrat Mufti Mahmood (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ).
In Hazrat
Maulana’s final year of studies, he would accompany Mufti Mahmood (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ), on Thursdays
and Fridays, to sit in the company of Shaykhul Hadith, Hazrat Maulana Muhammad
Zakariyya (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ).
After
completing his studies, he was advised by Mufti Mahmood Saheb (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ), his Ustaad, to
derive benefit from Hazrat Maulana Abrarul Haq Hardoi (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ). Hazrat Maulana
Yunus Patel (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ) thus proceeded
to Hardoi and stayed there for seven or eight days. Hazrat Maulana Abrarul Haq (رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ عَلَيْهِ) showed great
compassion towards him during his stay.
