Ghazi Muhammad
Qazi Mullah (Avar: Кази-Мулла, Kazi-Mulla; 1793–1832) was an North Caucasian Islamic scholar and ascetic, who was the first Imam of the Dagestan (from 1828 to 1832). He was a staunch ally of Imam Shamil. He promoted the Sacred Law of Sharia, spiritual purification (tasawwuf), and facilitated a jihad against the invading Russians. He was also one of the prime supporters of Muridism, a strict obedience to Koranic laws used by imams to increase religio-patriotic fervor in the Caucasus.
