Ghazi Muhammad

Ghazi Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Gimrawi (1795–1832), called Kazi-Mulla in Russian sources, was a Dagestani scholar and Naqshbandi Sufi who became the first Imam of Dagestan and Chechnya (1829–1832). He campaigned to replace customary law (adat) with sharia, declared ghazavat against Russian expansion in 1830, and was killed at the storming of his native Gimry on 17 (29) October 1832.
