A'la Hadrat Maulana Shah Abdul Wahhab (9 October 1831 – 1921) (Tamil:அஃலா ஹள்ரத் மவ்லானா ஷாஹ் அப்துல் வஹ்ஹாப்), (Arabic: اعلى حضرت مولانا شاه عبد الوهّاب) born Shah Abdul Wahhab, also known as (A'la Hadrat, A'la Hazrat, Ala Hadrat, Ala Hazrat) (Tamil:அஃலா ஹள்ரத்,அஃலா ஹஜ்ரத்), was a renowned Sunni Islamic Scholar and Reformer of the late 19th and early 20th Century from the Southern part of India. Like Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlvi he was worried about the state of Muslims of South India, especially those of Nagore and its nearby regions. He worked hard to purify their beliefs. So he founded the Madrasa Al-Baqiyat As-Salihat in Vellore in the year 1857.
A'la Hadrat was born on 1st of the Islamic month of Jumādā al-Ūlā of Hijri 1247 (19 October 1831) in Vellore. His dad, Maulana Abdul Qadir Sahib, died when he was 4 years old in Madurai, India. He moved into his mother's household in Vellore and his early education was in Vellore.
In Vellore, after having finished his pre-school education with his mother and uncle, A'la Hadrat did his primary schooling with Hakeem Jainul Abideen, a famous Teacher and Medical practitioner, who lived in the same street where A'la Hadrat lived. He completed his Primary education in Arabic and Parsi languages with him.
To complete the necessary education of the time, A'la Hadrat left for Madurai. There he stayed with Al Arifbillah Qutbuz Zaman Syed Abdus Salaam Ibrahim who schooled him for 7 more years with all the necessary arts.
