I agree with this. However another reason why some people may not be aware of the Shaykh is because he is not a public speaker in the common meaning of the work. The Shaykhs sight has deterioriated and that is another factor to consider.
Bihmadillahi Ta'ala there is alot more about the grand Shaykh Taaj ush Shariah hafizahullahu Ta'ala in the book Tajaliyaat Taaj ush Shariah try to get hold of it and read it in sha Allah Ta'ala.
Sidi KS 2 and brother Ridwi and others. Thank you for educating me about mufti akhtar raza khan sahib. I retract any comments which may have been interpreted as negative though not meant to be. It's gladdening to see he does do real work for ahlus sunnah. The last post was especially enlightening . Our ulama need to promote ala hazrat aggressively in the Arab world to counter the false Goebbelian propoganda of the Deobandits. It's nice to hear hazrat is doing such work. Still, one shouldn't excommunicate Sunnis if they disagree on a fiqhi issue like the tie or photos or qawwali.
What is the position of current Janasheen (Hazrat Subhan Raza Kahn) of Bareilly Shareef with regards to photos and videos?
It should be noted also that Mufti Sahib has translated many of A'la Hadrats fatawa into Arabic. He translated the fatwa on the blessed parents of the Messenger salAllahu alayhi wasalam. He recently done the Subhan alSubuh. These are published in India and Damascus. He gives them as gifts to Arab U'lama. He also has a partial commentary on Sahih alBukhari which is online. I think you need to 'chill out' on things you have no knowledge of. His position on qaqwalli is a stong position. And NONE of the U'lama allow the commercial type of kanjar qawalli we have now. Besides who are you to tell the U'lama to 'chill' on a valid and strong position?
Btw bro zulfikar your argument on loving mufti akhtar raza just because he happens to be ala hazrats grand grandson is false. I do respect him but not for that reason.
Thanks to bro rizwi for posting info on huzoor akhtar raza. The book on qiyamat and the book of poetry look interesting as does the fatwa collection. Not trying to deliberately be controversial but on what basis is wearing a tie declared haraam and do any other Sunni scholars share the same view.
If we claim to love A'la hadrat, if we claim to be Aashqe-e-A'la hadrat , it is our firm belief that we must love everything which is connected to him.How is it possible to love A'la hadrat and despise his family who are true leaders of sunniyat today,esp the personality of hadrat mufti akhtar raza khan, who not only belong to the family of A'la hadrat, but also has spent his entire life in the service of sunniyat True and genuine love is not determined by how much you claim to love an object ,but how much you still love that object in the face of the worldly obstacles.sunni muslims have been faced with many obstacles and will in the future.Yet, if we continue to hold fast to the true slaves of the almighty and not to the agent of shaytaan, then these obstacles will disappear as if they were mirage. Hadrat allama mufti akhtar raza khan has fulfilled the objectives of his great-grand father.What was this objective? it was to separate the pure from impure.It is to the credit of hadrat akhtar raza khan, that they continue to serve the mission of A'la hadrat- which is to preserve the true islam as propounded in the teaching of the Ahle sunnah wa jamaah!May almighty Allah give us the taufeeq to be under their spiritual guidance and protection on the day of qiyaamah. Ameen. May almighty Allah grant 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 the truth. Ameen.
INVITING TO ISLAM Hadrat has travelled far and wide to help strengthen the faith of the weak muslim and to invite the non-muslim to islam.many non muslim have accepted islam at his blessed hands.from among them, i have presented the experiences of a few. FIRST EXPRIENCE:Muslim Razvi,previously known as Riyawar When asked about his acceptance of islam he replied,''I felt true peace after reading books of islam.i then went to bareily shreef.There i saw a person whose face shone like a moon.when i asked who he was, i was told that it was his Eminence.after looking at his bright face,i became more confident.I then asked his permission to recite kalimah and accepted the pure religion of islam SECOND INCIDENT:Muhammed Ahsaan razvi was known as George Stephen.he lived in the city of punjab and was staunch roman catholic.by occupation he was a preacher.he was so proficient in his job that he was given task of making comparison between quran and bible.he believed that the bible was not the true and real bible,therefore accepted islam at the blessed hands of hadrat.he stayed with hadrat under his guidance.
HIS PERSONALITY IS BASED ON SHARIA AND TAQWA!!! His actions display his immense love for the sunnah of the beloved prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wassalam).One needs to be in his company to witness this. As Huzoor Mufti Azam-e-hind always displayed discomfort for those who donot have proper beards, wear gordy westernised clothes & ofcos tie,He also huzor mufti akhtar raza shows great displeasure towards them.This is not aimed at the wearer of the toe,but rather at the institution of the tie.

CLOSENESS TO HUZOOR MUFTI-E-AZAM HIND: On returning home from Egypt, Taajush Shariah Qibla attained even more closeness in the court of his maternal grandfather, Ghausul Waqt Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam Hind (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). Hazrat loved him dearly and showed deep compassion and caring towards him. Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam Hind (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) in his lifetime on this world blessed Huzoor Taajush Shariah with Ijaazat and Khilaafat and granted him a very exalted position when he appointed him his Ja Nasheem (spiritual successor). NAATS WRITTEN BY HIM: His love for the Holy Prophet ù can be seen flowing in the beautiful and eloquent manner he shows in writing Naats in praise of the Beloved Rasool ù. These Naats which he has written in the love of the Prophet ù are proof enough of the deep love his possesses for the Master of the Green Dome Muhammadur Rasoolullah ù. Huzoor Taajush Shariah has written numerous Naats which have been compiled to form the beautiful compilation called “Safeena-e-Bakhshish” [/FONT] [FONT=georgia,serif] [/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif] KARAAMATS: As for the issue of Karaamats, then he is a karaamat himself and the greatest karaamat of Huzoor Taajush Shariah Qibla, is his steadfastness on the Shariat. PROPAGATION: Huzoor Taajush Shariah is no doubt the Torch Bearer of Maslak-e-A’la Hazrat in the world today and is the personality whose blessings are assisting us in every single day of our lives. With the exception of him being a great poet, Huzoor Taajush Shariah Qibla is also a dynamic orator and author. Hazrat has written numerous books in both the Urdu and Arabic languages. Some of the books written by Huzoor Taajush Shariah are: 1. Tasweero Ka Hukm 2. T.V. Aur Video Ka Operation 3. Difa-e-Kanzul Imaan 4. Al Haqqul Mobeen (Arabic) 5. Me’ratun Najdiah (Arabic) 6. Fatwa Regarding Wearing of the Tie (English) 7.

It is thus necessary for every city, district, province and country to have a Muslim Justice (Religious Judge) in authority, so that the affairs of the Muslims may be properly settled. Where there is a Sovereign Muslim State, there, it is the responsibility of the Sovereign Righteous Muslim Ruler (Sultaanul Islam) to appoint the Qaazi and where there is no Sovereign Muslim State, then there, the Most Knowledgeable amongst the Ulama-e-Deen is regarded by the being appointed by the Will of Allah as the Qaazi and the one responsible for the administration of the General appointment of leadership responsibilities and the judicial affairs of the Muslims. It is he who is appointed as being appointed from the Divine Court of Allah as the Islamic leader, The Guardian of the Religion of Islam and the Muslim Justice in authority and it becomes Waajib (compulsory) upon the Muslims to turn towards him in order to resolve their religious and other issues. In the situation where there is no Sultaanul Islam (Righteous Muslim Ruler), the administration and management of appointment is the responsibility of the Ulama and their aides. It becomes their responsibility to appoint the Most Knowledgeable Aalim as the Qaazi of their affairs. It is the responsibility of the Ulama and their aides of a district to appoint a Qaazi for their district. Likewise it is the responsibility of the Ulama and their aides to appoint a Qaazi for their respective province, whilst it is the responsibility of the Ulama and the aides on the entire country to appoint the “Qaazi-Ul-Quz’zaah” (Chief Justice) for the entire country. In a case where the Ulama and the aides are negligent and apathetic in the issues of managing the said responsibility, then the general (Muslim) public may together mutually agree on appointing a Qaazi for the reason of deciding their religious cases and affairs. Now, if both the general public and the responsible member of community are negligent of this responsibility, then the most knowledgeable amongst the Ulama as per the Will of Allah will be regarded as the Qaazi and it will be become necessary upon the Muslims to turn towards him for their religious affairs. Aala Hazrat (Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) states in Fatawa Razvia as follows: “In the affairs of the Muslims and for the reason of granting rights of administration for (the property) of Muslim minors (children), it is a necessary condition, for the Qaazi to be a Muslim. Thus it is clear about the necessity of Muslim Justices with authority in the Shariah in a Muslim state and where in reality there is no Islamic State, and the Muslims there have together after consultation appointed a Muslim as the Qaazi to settle their religious cases, then he will be regarded as per the Shariah he is regarded as the Qaazi. It is compulsory upon the Muslims to turn towards him for settlement of their affairs and they should act upon his commands. He should appoint the administrators of the affairs of the orphans who have no legal guardians and those minors who have no legal guardians should be married (when reaching age) on his recommendation.” (Fatawa Razvia vol.7 – page 338) He (Aala Hazrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) further says, “To fulfill these religious necessities, to appoint a Qaazi after mutual agreement for these affairs and for the reason of appointing an Imam and Khatib for Jummah and for both the Eids, and in separation cases of Li’aan (cursing by parties in marriage),Unain (rulings regarding an impotent person), issues of taking a wife, rulings regarding minors without guardians and the annulment of marriages and related issues of puberty and other examples such as these, in which there is no legal implications, then, to appoint someone for this is without doubt advisable. Even the government has never objected to this. Even those people who have appointed their groups and have even sorted out their financial and religious as their primary system, then, this in this too, they find no objection from government.” The most knowledgeable amongst the Ulama in the Country is made the Qaazi of his city and his jurisdiction and authority is his city including the nearest and furthest areas of (the city) and all its suburbs. The authority of the most knowledgeable Aalim of a district is his district. The authority of the most knowledgeable Aalim of a state is his entire state, whereas the authority and jurisdiction of the most knowledgeable amongst all the Ulama in the country is in different cities, towns and states through the agreement of the Ulama and aides of the numerous cities, towns and states, for the administration of (affairs) and actually (he) has authority over the entire country. After presenting the above detailed discussion, it must be said that both the general Muslim masses and the special servants amongst the Muslims know well that the Markaz (Centre) of the Ahle Sunnat is “BAREILLY SHAREEF”, from where, for more than two hundred years the responsibility of guiding the Muslims in their religious and social affairs is being fulfilled. It is the result of this exceptionally given Direction and Judicial masterfulness, that the entire Ahle Sunnat wa Jama’at has recognized Bareilly Shareef as the Markaz. The personality of the Mujaddid (Reformer) of the 14th Century Hijri Mujaddid-e-Azam Imam-e-Ahle Sunnat Aala Hazrat (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) needs no introduction. This is that unique personality of the Era and this Emperor of Hanafi Fiqh who was the most knowledgeable personality in the country. On the basis of his vast knowledge and is masterfulness in Islamic Jurisprudence, Aala Hazrat (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) was appointed in the exalted position of Chief Justice of the entire undivided India by the Will of Allah. He was the direction of the entire Muslims masses and the Ulama of India and he was the one towards who all turned for religious decrees. Aala Hazrat (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) then appointed his beloved student (and son) Mufti-e-Azam Aalam-e-Islam Hazrat Allama Mufti Mohammed Mustafa Raza Qadri and his chosen student and Khalifa Sadrush Shariah Hazrat Allama Mufti Mohammed Amjad Ali Razvi (May their blessings be upon us) as the Chief Justices of the entire India, just as it was mentioned in detail and presented in numerous composition on Moon Sighting, during the second seminar on Islamic Jurisprudence hosted by “SHAR’I COUNCIL OF INDIA” Then, Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam Hind (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) appointed Sultanul Fuqaha Taajush Shariah Hazrat Allama Mufti Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Al Qadri as his True Successor and Spiritual Heir handing him authority over all his Religious affairs such as in the field of issuing decrees and in Judicial matters and at the same time granted him authority over all his spiritual affairs. In other words, Huzoor Taajush Shariah is actually the Chief Justice of the entire India, and it is for this reason that in Bareilly Shareef, the general Muslim masses and the ulama turn towards him for advice in appointment of Imam and Khatib for the Jummah and both Eids and for the announcement of Moon Sighting confirmations and all other issues related to jurisprudence and decrees and he inturn fulfills this great responsibility and due to his vast knowledge and his masterful ability in jurisprudence, his is appointed by the Will of Allah for the Leadership and the responsibility of Qaazi and the entire India accepts him as the one to turn towards in issues of judiciary and for religious decrees. This year, during the Urs-e-Razvi, in an audience of hundreds of thousands, and in the presence of scores of learned Ulama and other religious Dignitaries, Huzoor Muhadith-e-Kabeer (Hazrat Allama Mufti Zia ul Mustafa Qadri Amjadi Qibla) announced that Huzoor Taajush Shariah is the Chief Justice of India as appointed through The Will of Allah and all the Ulama and Muslim masses present during this massive gathering immediately and wholeheartedly accepted this grand announcement.
