  • Barelvi'ism and Christianity: Similarities and the Possible
    1 BARELVI’ISM AND CHRISTIANITY: SIMILARITIES AND THE POSSIBLE REASONS WHY By NOUMAN HUSSAIN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Masters by Research Department of Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham November 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. 2 ABSTRACT This paper aims to discuss and discover the reasons for the resemblances found between the Barelvi sect of Islām and Christianity. It has a striking similarity with Catholicism in a number of its creed and practices particularly the following four, the humanity of Jesus and Muḥammad, the celebration of the birthdays of Jesus and Muḥammad, the building of structures over graves to venerate the dead, and the revering of Saints, supplicating to them and asking them for aid. The question as to why these two sects have similarities was explored. Upon examination of critical texts such as the biographies of Ahmed Riḍa and his own works, it was determined that he was not directly affected or influenced by Christian missionaries, although some evidence points to the fact that he may have absorbed the culture that surrounded him.

  • Imam Ahmad Raza Sunni Scholar, Sufi and Scientist
    Imam Ahmad Raza Sunni Scholar, Sufi and Scientist A branch of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadiri's ancestry first came to India in the 17th century from Qandahar, also known as Kandahar City, South Afghanistan joining the Mughal imperial bureaucracy as soldiers and soldier-administrators. A family ancestor eventually settled in Bareilly [Uttar Pradesh], where he was awarded a land grant for military service. The family of Alahazrat is dynamic with Ulama (Islamic savants) of blue blood and nobility. His grandfather, Hazrat Raza Ali Khan (may Allah be pleased with him) [d.1282/1866] was a great Islamic saint and savant of his time. He fought for the freedom of Indian Muslims in 1857. Breaking the family tradition of military service he became well known as a faqih (jurisprudence-one who is knowledgeable in fiqh) and Sufi Gnostic in the Qadiri Order. He was educated in Tonk, the only Muslim state in Rajputana, completing his study of the dars-e nizami syllabus at 23 years. After his time the warrior's profession became a thing of the past, as succeeding generations became to enjoy a reputation for Islamic scholarship and/or saintliness. In his biography of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (mat Allah be pleased with him), Maulana Zafar ud-Din Bihari (may Allah be pleased with him) relates a story about Hazrat Raza Ali Khan (may Allah be pleased with him) following the British resumption of control over Bareilly after the 1857 revolt: After the tumult in 1857, the British tightened the reigns of power and committed atrocities toward the people, and everybody went about feeling scared.

  • Imam Ahmad Rida's Mastery in Hadith Sciences
    Imam Ahmad Rida's Mastery in Hadith Sciences Author: Munawwar Ateeq Rizvi Truly, there is very little of what I can say about the sciences that this extraordinary personality had acquired. It is sufficient to know that his knowledge, taqwa and level of mastery were acknowledged by the masters themselves; the renowned Jurists, masters of Hadith, and scholars of traditional Islamic sciences from the two Holy sanctuaries and the subcontinent. His Juridical opinions ‘fatawa’ and legal stances share a great deal of information with us about his mastery in Legal Methodology, Jurisprudence and inference from the Primary sources as well as other ancillary sciences. ‘al-Ataya al-Nabawiyyah fi al-Fatawa al-Rifdwiyyah’, is an outstanding contribution made by Imam Ahmad to the traditional sciences and their development, hence acclaimed as one of the greatest encyclopedias on the Hanafi Law and its branches. Not only that it is rooted in the essence of Islamic Jurisprudence, his Fatawa also consists of a variety of subjects from mathematics, theology, history, Euclidean geometry, philosophy, linguistics, and astronomy to exegesis of the Qur’an and Hadith sciences. As recent studies show, it is this work that acclaims him mastery in third from the rank of absolute ijtihad, namely, the rank of the mujtahid fi al-masa'il. As for His works in the Hadith area, Imam Ahmad has written a huge amount on Inference of rulings from Hadith proof texts ‘Fiqh al-Hadith’, Legal Hanafi Methodology and authentic hadith, Principles of hadith ‘Usul al-Hadith’ and the biographies of men ‘Asma al-Rijal’. To name a few of his works, I shall first and foremost mention his excellent epistle on the science of takhreej entitled, ‘al-Rawdh al-Baheej fi Adaab al-Takhreej’ (1219h).

It has been accepted for inclusion in History - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract A Subcontinent’s Sunni Schism presents the first-ever history of the 150-year religio- political rivalry between the Deobandis and the Barelvis—arguably the most important schism in the “Muslim world,” and certainly the most significant within Sunni Islam. More recently, that rivalry has often been expressed by means of bullets and bombs, especially in Pakistan. But beyond the headline-grabbing violence of the Deobandi- Barelvi schism lies the story of a century-and-a-half-long religious antagonism: at first over converts, later for competing visions of the political future, then for a place within a new “Islamic” polity—for dominance within its political structure. For Deobandis, the rivalry was defined by their struggle to propagate a “pure” Islam, as opposed to the Barelvi deviation (plus an unmitigated hatred of the British presence in India); for Barelvis, their right to speak for the “Sunni majority” was what defined the battle—a privilege that the Deobandis had long sought to usurp.
