Muhammad Tahir Panjpiri (Urdu: محمد طاہر پنج پیری; 10 February 1916 – 31 March 1987) was an Islamic scholar in Pakistan during the mid-20th century who was recognized by followers as Shaykh al-Quran for his expertise in Quranic studies.[1] He played a fundamental role in shaping the ideology of Panjpiris, a faction within the Deobandi movement known for their strong influence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as well as their presence in Afghanistan's Nooristan and Badakhshan provinces. Panjpiri studied under Hussain Ali, the founder of Jamiat Ashaatut Tawhid-wa-Sunnath, and subsequently established Darul Quran Madrasa in his hometown of Panjpir, situated in Sawabi District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He succeeded Hussain Ali as the leader of Jamiat Ashaatut Tawhid-wa-Sunnath, which resulted in the organization's followers being referred to as "Panjpiris" in the region.[2]
