Life

Khan was born on June 14, 1856 in Bareilly, northern India. His father, Naqi'Ali Khan, taught him Dars-i Nizami, the traditional Islamic study curriculum, from early childhood. The lessons were so successful that Khan was able to produce fatawa as early as 1869 at the age of 13. The production of these legal opinions became the main occupation of his life. In 1877 he became a student of the scholar Sayyid Shah Al-e Rasul, who died two years later. Khan continued his lessons with his grandson Nuri Miyan.

In 1878 he made a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina with his father, fulfilling one of the five pillars of Islam. The leadership of the Barelwī movement was officially given to him in 1900. In 1904 he founded the Madrasa Manzar-i Islam . Khan died on October 28, 1921, and his grave in Bareilly has now become a center of pilgrimage as it is said to send out positive powers of blessing.

As early as 1915, Khan had selected his eldest son, Hamid Riza Khan, to follow him as the movement's leader.
