Muhammad Asadullah Al-Ghalib (Bengali: মুহম্মদ আসাদুল্লাহ আল-গালিব; born 15 January 1948) is a Bangladeshi reformist Islamic scholar and former professor of Arabic at the University of Rajshahi. He is the leader of a puritan Islamic movement Ahl-i Hadith Andalon Bangladesh (AHAB).[4][5] He is also the founder of an Islamic research journal, Monthly At-tahreek.[6] In an interview in 2017, Shakhawat Hossain, Ahl-e Hadith Andolon Bangladesh spokesperson, said the group claimed its lineage and the inspiration for its name from Islamist groups that had fought British colonialism in the early 19th century.[7]

On 23 February 2005, the Bangladesh government arrested him following allegations of Islamic militancy.[8][9][10] He was further alleged to have received funding from the Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage.[11][12] However, he denied any involvement with Islamic militancy and was freed from jail on 28 August 2008.[13][14][15][16][17] He was eventually acquitted of all charges.[18][19][20][21]
