Muhammad Asadullah Al-Ghalib (Arabic: د.محمد اسد الله الغالب; Bengali: ড. মুহাম্মাদ 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).[1][2] He is also the founder of an Islamic research journal, Monthly At-tahreek.[3] 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.[4]

On 23 February 2005, the Bangladesh government arrested him following allegations of Islamic militancy.[5][6][7] He was further alleged to have received funding from the Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage.[8][9] However, he denied any involvement with Islamic militancy and was freed from jail on 28 August 2008.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] He was eventually acquitted of all charges.[17][18][19][20]
