His blessed name is Muhammad, his paternal grandfather called him Ahmad Raza, and he became famous by this name; whereas, according to his birth year (1272 A.H.), his name is Al-Mukhtar. (Tazkirah-e-Imam Ahmad Raza, p. 3) Remarkable Highlights of the Blessed Childhood C In Rabi’-ul-Awwal 1276 AH/1860 C.E., he finished his nazarah 1 Note that Allah Almighty is free from body parts; hence, the ascribing of ‘hand’ for Allah Almighty is from the Mutashaabihaat, the true, exact meaning of which is not known to us, although it can be understood possibly as an expression referring to the Power of Allah. 3 www.dawateislami.net The Eminence of Imam Ahmad Raza 3 E (recitation) of the Holy Quran at the age of approximately four and spoke eloquent Arabic at the same age. C In Rabi’-ul-Awwal 1278 AH/1861 C.E., at the age of approximately six, he delivered his first lecture. C In 1279 AH/1862 C.E., at the age of approximately seven, he started to keep the fasts of Ramadan. C In Shawwal Al-Mukarram 1280 AH/ 1863 C.E., at the age of approximately eight, he wrote a magnificent answer on the rulings of inheritance. C At the age of eight, he studied the famous book on Arabic syntax, Hidayat-un-Nahw, and wrote its commentary in Arabic. C In Sha’ban Al-Mu’azzam 1286 AH/1869 C.E., at the age of 13 years, 4 months and 10 days, he completed his formal studies of the traditional branches of knowledge and had his graduation ceremony; he commenced writing legal verdicts [fatwas] the same day and also began giving lectures and teaching.

When he 3 E 4 www.dawateislami.net The Eminence of Imam Ahmad Raza 3 E wrote his first legal verdict at the age of 13 years, 10 months and 4 days on ‘Hurmat-e-Riza’at (milk kinship), this led to his father, Maulana Naqi Ali Khan 3 E , seeing his scholarly acumen and honouring him with the position of a mufti. Despite this, A’la Hazrat 3 E used to get his fatwas verified by his father 3 E for a very long time. He would take so much care in this matter that he would not issue a fatwa without his honourable father attesting it.

  • 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.
