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]
