Shaykh (Maulana) Hasan Tai (HA) of Walsall (UK) by UmHasan:
Maulana Muhammad Hasan sahab completed his aalim studies at the of Jamia Dabhel under Maulana Yusuf Binori R.a and then studied daura hadeeth again with with Shaykhul-Islam (Maulana) Hussain Ahmed Madani (RA) in Deoband. Maulana Shamsuddeen Barodwi is also amongst his ustadhs and he has ijazah of musalsalat from Shaykhul-Hadeeth (Maulana) Zakariyya (RA) . He was a very high calibre student and was amongst the top of his class. Maulana Yusuf Binori R.a gave him 51/50 in one his exams.
All the lessons of sulookh were given to him by Shaykhul-Islam (Maulana) Hussain Ahmed Madani (RA) and after his death, Maulana Muhammad Hasan sahab was given ijazah by Maulana Asad Madani 
. He stayed for a number of years with Hadhrat Madani and when the residents of the village of Kosamba requested Hadhrat Madani to send a scholar to them, he sent Maulana Muhammad Hasan sahab. Maulana stayed there as imam of the Masjid for 18 years. During this time, many of the top darul ulooms of India requested him repeatedly to come and teach at their institutes, amongst them Maulana Abdullah Kapodrawi but he refused to move as he was sent there by Hadhrat Madani. Maulana was in Deoband with Hadhrat Madani in 1957 at the time of his death. He moved to the UK in the '70s and first called Maulana Asad Madani to the UK in 1974. He came here virtually every year after that until a couple of years before he died. Maulana Hasan sahab was and still is thoroughly devoted to the Madani family. He was an aashiq of Maulana Asad Madani and Shaykhul Islam Hadhrat Hussain Ahmad Madani and the love he has for those two Mashaikh is evident every time he mentions their name.
Maulana himself is mustajaab al da'waat and a man of utmost simplicity and humbleness. I think it is due to this simplicity that people in the wider world have failed to pay him much notice. He has been regular in tahajjud from his student days almost 60 years ago..Even on his travels with Maulana Asad Madani; when when he had a jam-packed day and would sleep after midnight, he would wake up for 3am for his zikr and tahajjud programmes and continue with another jam-packed day. This was when he was in his late seventies. In these later years of his life, he has much concern that the people of the UK unite upon the correct decision on the moon issue.
For those of you who can, he should be marked as a person to benefit from whilst he is still with us. May Allah grant him long life.[/QUOTE]
