The knowledge of Ala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat  Ash Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadri (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) in the various Islamic and worldly sciences was phenomenal. There is no one in this era comparable to Sayyidi Ala Hazrat (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) nor anyone who has been blessed with such immense knowledge of so many different sciences. 

When we ponder over the knowledge of Sayyidi Ala Hazrat (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) we realise that we cannot fathom nor comprehend the extent of the knowledge and Maqaam that Allah Ta’ala has granted to him. And if we cannot even understand the status of the slave of Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), how will anyone be able to understand the status of the Master, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) himself? It is therefore imperative that we do not dare equate ourselves to Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) nor to the Awliya Allah, as we are not even worthy of being equated to the dust underneath their blessed feet.

Hereunder is a glimpse of the knowledge of Sayyidi Ala Hazrat (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) in the field of astronomy, one of the many sciences in which he was an expert and genius.

On 18 October 1919 a  thrilling news appeared in the English “Daily Express” published from Bankipur, Patna (Bihar). It was regarding a unique and dreadful forecast made by Prof. Albert F. Porta of America, who happened to be an astronomer and mathematician of international repute. 

His forecast was that on 17 December 1919, six planets which are the most powerful, viz. Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune will be aligned and the Sun will be in the opposite direction of these planets. These planets would attract the sun towards them with all their gravity. The result will be that the magnetic properties of these planets will pierce into the sun and it will inflict a hole into the

IMAM AHMED RAZA’S BIRTH AND NAME

HIS BIRTH

Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Barelwi (Alaihir Rahmah) was born on a Monday, the 10th of Shawaal 1272 A.H. [14th June 1856], at the time of Zohr Salaah in a place called Jasoli, which is in the city of Bareilly, India.

A few days before the birth of Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (Alaihir Rahmah), his father, Allama Mawlana Naqi Ali Khan (Alaihir Rahmah), narrated a wonderful dream to his father, Allama Mawlana Raza Ali Khan (Alaihir Rahmah), who interpreted this dream by saying: “This is a sign that you are going to be the father of a child, a boy, who will grow up to be pious and knowledgable. His name will gain prominence from East to West.”

Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Barelwi (Alaihir Rahmah) was a master of Abjad and he deduced his year of birth from the verse of the Holy Qur'an: “These are they in whose hearts Allah has inscribed faith and helped them with a spirit from Himself.” (58:2)

HIS NAME

The name that was given to him at birth was “Mohammed.” The name corresponding to that year of his birth was “Al Mukhtaar.” His grandfather, Allama Mawlana Raza Ali Khan (Alaihir Rahmah), named him “Ahmed Raza.” It was by this name that he was famously known. Much later in his life, Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Barelwi (Alaihir Rahmah) added the title “Abdul Mustafa” to his name signifying his great love and respect for the Messenger of Allah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam).

Much later, the Grand Mufti of Makkatul Mukarramah, Sheikh Hussain bin Saleh Makki (Alaihir Rahmah), gave him the title of “Zia'udeen Ahmed.”

The followers of the great Mujaddid Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (Alaihir Rahmah) call him “A'la Hadrat”. “Hadrat” means “person” and “A'la Hadrat” means “great”, “A'la Hadrat” means “a great person”.

ANCESTRAL TREE OF IMAM AHMED RAZA KHAN BARELWI

The following ancestra

The power of the pen or the written word is signified in every culture from across the globe. The men and women with a pen have chronicled the history of the world as we know it today. Out of billions of human beings to brace the earth, very few have impacted it more than writers. And out of this rare breed of intellectuals, very few were able to revolutionize their generations.

While revolutionary authors can be found as early as the history of the civilized world exists, we will look at the five most influential authors in the modern era. To be precise, we will look at the authors from the 19 and 20 centuries only. Why this period? Because most of the ideologies in existence today, except the prominent world religions, were, more or less, shaped during this period.

The global power structure, the political affluence, the educational reforms, the agitations of the lowest in the economic structure – every socioeconomic and political aspect of the world at the moment has its roots in the last two centuries. Books by these stalwarts continue to move revolutions, agitations, and ideologies in various parts of the world. Criteria for the selection of the authors is as follows:

1. The author should be born between 1800-1950

2. The author must have followers in more than a single continent

3. The author must have written works that influence socioeconomic & political affairs of the regions they influence

So, let’s discuss the first of the top 5 revolutionary authors of the modern era:
