Early Education

 

His mother, who is the blessed and pious daughter of Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu), showed great concern for his study as she was certain that he would be the Khalifah (Spiritual Successor), of Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu).

 

Peer-o-Murshid, Hadrat Allama Akhtar Raza Khan Qibla gained his basic Islamic education within his blessed home and he completed the basic recitation and study of the Holy Quran under the guidance of his respected mother. He then studied further under the guidance of his most respected father.

FIRST INCIDENT: Muslim Razvi, previously known as Riyawar, was a vey young boy and lived in Jabalpur.

 

He left home and had no place to go to. It so happened that he met a group of Sadhus who invited him to live with them. His entire life as a teenager was spent in there company. From among his friends, one of them was a Muslim. They used to be classmates when Muslim Razvi was still very young. It was from this friend that he heard about Islam. After living with this Sadhus for such a lengthy period, he still did not feel that he had achieved much peace, with the result he began studying books on Islam.

 

When he asked about his acceptance in Islam, Muslim Razvi replied, ?I felt true peace after reading these books and I therefore decided to accept Islam. I then went to Bareilly Shareef. There I saw a person whose face shone like the moon. When I asked who he was, I was told that it was his Eminence. After looking at his bright face, I became even more confident. I then asked his permission to recite the Kalima and then officially accepted the pure Religion of Islam.?

 

 

SECOND INCIDENT: It is reported that a teenage girl named Ustai, used to live among ignorant Hindus. She was about 20 years old and on the 29^th of September 1989, she came to Bareilly Shareef and accepted Islam at the hands of his Eminence. She also became his Mureed. She admits that she was never forced to accept Islam and that she firmly believed that Islam was the purest of all religions.

 

THIRD INCIDENT: In 1989, a Hindu from Rai Bareilly also accepted Islam and has given an account on why he did so. He said: His father had died. According to the Hindu religion the youngest or eldest son had to burn the father?s body and also hit the body with a Bamboo pole. he took on this responsibility and hit his father?s head with the pole. He suddenly realized how wrong this was and immediately knew that Islam was the true religion.

 

That night, as he slept, he dreamt that he saw himself in a new Masjid. He then sees an elderly and bright-faced person in the Masjid. The person is saying to him, ?Son! Recite the Kalima.? He says that he then recited the Kalima in his dream.

 

One day he decided to go to Bareilly Shareef. As he entered the district, he eyes fell on his Eminence. So shocked he became that he began screaming, ?I saw this pious man in a dream and he asked me to recite the Kalima.? He immediately accepted Islam at the hands of his Eminence and he was given the name Abdullah.

His Personality Is Based On Shari'ah And Taqwa

 

Almighty Allah has blessed his Eminence with exceptionally good qualities. His actions display his immense love for the Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet. One needs to be in his company to witness this.

 

 

 

Whenever he sits in a Meelad-un-Nabi or Mehfil-e-Zikr, he always sits with utmost respect until the very end. He displays great emotions when a Naath Shareef is being read. He always makes certain that the person reading the Naath Shareef uses proper words and is ever ready to correct the reciter. When visiting the Mazaar Shareef, he sits with humble submission and respect. While travelling, he continuously recites the Naath Shareef when everyone is silent.

 

 

 

 

His entire life has been spent making Jihad against the enemies of Islam such as the Deobandis, Wahabis, Maududis, Ibn Taimiyya, Qadianism, or Najdism. He has always propagated the truth found in the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah. And with his advice, he has helped protect the Imaan of not only the Muslims of India, but of Muslims throughout the world.

 

We make Humble Dua the Almighty Allah, through the Wasila of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and through the Sadaqah and Wasila of Imam-e-Ahle Sunnah, Ash Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan and Ghousul Waqt, Huzoor Mufti?e-Azam-e-Hind, Maulana Mustapha Raza Khan Noori Barakaati (radi Allahu anhu) grants his Eminence long life, good health and the strength to continue serving the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah and to serve as an inspiration to the sincere seekers of truth. Ameen.
