Dedicated To : Imam Ahlesunnat, A'ala Hazrat, The Great Mujaddid of 14th Century, Shah Ahmad Raza Khan Fazil Bareilvi
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Holy Prophet ﷺ stated:
"O people! Without doubt, the one to attain salvation quickly on the Day of Judgement from its horrors and accountability will be the one amongst you who will have recited Salat upon me in abundance in the world". (Firdaus -ul-Akhbar, Page 375, vol. 5, Hadith 8210).
[Late Mr. Ishtiaque Hussain Qureshi Ex-Minister of Education Government of Pakistan and Vice
Chancellor University of Karachi Sindh - Pakistan] :
Books and treatises, written by Imam Ahmed Raza, are nearly one thousand in number. The impact of his personality and work upon his followers is so immense that any other contemporary metaphysician could not attract his followers. In the beginning of the Khilafat Movement, the Ali Brother visited him to seek his signature on the Fatwa, regarding the non-cooperation movement. Imam Ahmed Raza said: “Mawlana there is a difference between your and my politics. You are a supporter of the Hindu Muslim Unity, but I am an opponent. When the Imam Saheb felt that the Ali Brothers have become dejected, he said, Mawlana I am not against the political freedom of the Muslims, but I oppose the Hindu Muslim Unity”.
For this opposition, the great reason was that the supporters of the (Hindu-Muslim) Unity, with their
arguments good or bad, had flown away so far that a religious scholar (alim-e-deen) could not support this unity.
Mawlana Ahmed Raza Khan Bareilvi raised objections on some writings and actions of Mawlana Abdul Bari Farangi Mahali, who has himself fairly confused in these words; “I commit many a sins, knowingly or unknowingly, hut I am ashamed of them. Verbally, practically and in writing, committed such matters for which I never thought that those were sins. But Mawlana Ahmed Raza Khan maintain them as a divergence or betrayal from Islam and hence accountability is unavoidable, and as there is no decision or example left by the forerunners so I recant and affirm my full confidence in the decision and thinking of Mawlana
Ahmed Raza Khan".
