Huzoor Tajush Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه, jinko duniya “Mujaddid-e-Millat” aur “Tajdar-e-Fatwa” ke laqab se yaad karti hai, ilm, amal, taqwa aur shari‘at ke ek azeem darakht thein jo kai neslon ko roohani saaya faraham karte rahe.
Aap, Mufassir-e-A‘zam-e-Hind Hazrat Allama Mufti Muhammad Ibrahim Raza Khan Qadri عليه الرحمه ke laakhte jigar, aur Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind Sayyidi Allama Mufti Mustafa Raza Khan Qadri Noori عليه الرحمه ke sacche ja-nasheen thein. Aap Hujjat-ul-Islam Hazrat Allama Mufti Muhammad Hamid Raza Khan Qadri Razvi عليه الرحمه ka mazhar thein, aur Sayyidi Ala Hazrat Mujaddid-e-Deen-o-Millat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadri Barkati Barelvi رضي الله عنه ki barakaat, fuyoozaat, uloom aur rawayat ke waris wa ameen ban kar ubhare.
In azeem nisbatoon ka noor aapki shakhsiyat ke har pehlu mein jalakta tha. Aapke andar osaf-e-hameeda, akhlaq-e-karima, zabt, hikmat, aur taqwa ka woh behtareen majmua tha jo is zamane ke buzurg awliyaon ka waris ho sakta tha.
Hazrat Ustad-ul-Fuqaha, Allama Mufti Abdul Raheem Bastavi عليه الرحمه, Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shari‘ah par in nisbatoon ke faizan ka tazkira kuch is andaaz mein karte hain:
“Sabhi Hazraat-e-Giraami ke kamalat-e-ilmi-o-amali se aapko giraan-qadr hissa mila hai:
Fahm-o-zaka, quwwat-e-haafiza aur taqwa Sayyidi A‘la Hazrat se;
Jodat-e-taba aur mahārat fil-adab al-‘Arabi Hujjat-ul-Islam se;
Fiqh mein tajurba aur asābat Mufti-e-Azam Hind se;
Aur quwwat-e-khitaabat wa bayaan Walid Zufiqār Mufassir-e-Azam Hind se;
Yani woh tamam khūbiyan aapko wirāsat mein hasil hain,
jinki rehnumā‘i se shari‘at aur t̤arīqat ka safar tay hota hai.”
(Muqaddima: Sharh Hadees-e-Niyyat, Safha 4)
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shari‘ah رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ne in tamam kamalat ko na sirf apni zindagi mein amal mein laaya, balki unhein duniya bhar ke talaba, fuqaha, mashaikh aur muhibbeen tak bhi pohchaya. Aapki zindagi ek roshan misal hai ke kis tarah ilm, nisbat, aur taqwa ka jamal kisi shakhsiyat mein jam sakta hai.
Wiladat Ba Sa’adat
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shari‘ah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ki wiladat ba sa‘adat 24th Zil Qa‘dah 1362 Hijri, mutabiq 23 November 1943 Isvi, baroz Mangal (Tuesday) Hindustan ke mashhoor tareen markaz-e-ilm-o-ruhāniyat, Bareilly Shareef ke qadeemi aur mukaddas mohalla Soudagran mein hui.
Ye wahi Bareilly hai jo Imam-e-Ahle Sunnat Mujaddid-e-Deen-o-Millat Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi رضي الله عنه ka paakizah markaz hai, jahan se roohani noor poori duniya mein phaila. Isi zameen ne Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shari‘ah jese Azeem buzurg ko jaga di, jo baad mein pure Alam-e-Islam ke liye hidayat ka chiragh ban gaye.
Ism-e-Girami Aur Alqaab
Aapka Ism-e-Girami: Muhammad Ismail Raza Khan Qadri Razvi tha.
Magar urfiyat mein aapko logon ne bachpan se hi “Akhtar Raza” ke laqab se yaad karna shuru kiya – aur isi laqab ne baad mein poori duniya mein shohrat paayi.
Aapko jo azeem alqāb aur darajāt ata kiye gaye woh aapki ilmiyyat, taqwa, aur shari‘at ki khidmat ka ijma‘i aitraf hain. Inme se chand numayan alqaab ye hain:
- Taaj-ush-Shari‘ah (Shari‘at ka Tajdar)
- Jānashīn Mufti-e-A‘zam-e-Hind
- Shaikh-ul-Islām wal-Muslimīn
Yeh sab alqaab na sirf ta‘reef ke liye hain, balki aapke ilmi, amali, aur ruhani maqām ki gawahi dete hain. Aap ne apne aslaaf ki roohani daulat ka amanat-daar ban kar poore ahl-e-sunnat ko ek usool par qaim rakha aur zamane ki fitnon ka bahaduri se muqabla kiya.
Shijra-e-Nasab
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shari‘ah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ka shijra-e-nasab ek roohani silsile ka noorani jalaal hai jo Aala Hazrat Imam-e-Ahle Sunnat Mujaddid-e-Deen-o-Millat Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadri Barkati Barelvi رضی اللہ عنہ tak jata hai.
Aapka shijra-e-nasab yoon hai:
Muhammad Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari
bin Muhammad Ibrahim Raza Khan Qadri
bin Muhammad Haamid Raza Khan Qadri Razvi
bin Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadri Barkati Barelvi رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہم اجمعین
Ye silsila na sirf nasabi fazilat ka izhar karta hai, balki isme ilmi virasat, roohani barakaat, aur shari‘i amanat ka wo be-misaal izafi faizan hai jo har dor ke liye hidayat ka chiraagh hai.
Khandani Halat
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shari‘ah رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ke 4 bhai aur 3 behnein thein. Aap ko Allah Ta‘ala ne ek bade buzurg aur roohani mahool mein paida kiya, jahan har simt se ilm, taqwa aur ibadat ki roohani faza thi.
Aapse bade do bhai:
- Rehan Millat Maulana Rehan Raza Khan Qadri – Jo deen ki khidmat aur ilm ki roshni se mutasir shakhsiyat rahe.
- Tanveer Raza Khan Qadri – Jo chhoti umr se hi jazb o halat mein mustaghraq rehte the aur aakhirkar mafqood-ul-qabr ho gaye. Allah Ta‘ala unki maqfiraat farmaye.
Aapse chhote do bhai:
- Dr. Qamar Raza Khan Qadri – Jo apne ilm, tahqiqat aur dini lagan ke liye jane jate hain.
- Maulana Mannan Raza Khan Qadri – Jo Aala Hazrat ke usool par chalte hue, ahl-e-sunnat ka paighaam aaj bhi poore josh-o-kharosh se phela rahe hain.
Taleem-o-Tarbiyat
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ki taleem-o-tarbiyat ka aghaaz ilm, adab aur taqwa ke us chiraagh se hua jiska noor qarnon se Ahl-e-Sunnat ki rahnumai kar raha hai. Aap par bachpan se hi roohaniyat aur ilm ki jalwagar roohani nisbat ka ghanay saaya tha, jo aapke aslaaf se warisatan aapko hasil hui.
Bismillah Khwani – Ilm ka Mubarak Safar
Jab Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ki umr 4 saal, 4 maah aur 4 din hui, to aapke Walid-e-Majid, Mufassir-e-Azam Hind Hazrat Allama Mufti Muhammad Ibrahim Raza Khan Jeelani Razvi رحمة الله عليه ne taqreeb-e-Bismillah Khwani ka ihtimam farmaya.
Is pur-nur taqreeb mein Bareilly Shareef ke mashhoor wa maqbool markaz “Yadgar-e-A‘la Hazrat – Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam” ke tamam tulaba ko dawat di gayi thi.
Is paak mehfil mein aapki Bismillah ki rasm adaa ki aapke Nana Jaan, Qutb-e-Millat, Tajdar-e-Ahle Sunnat Sarkar Mufti-e-Azam Hind Ash-Shah Imam Mustafa Raza Khan Noori Barelvi رحمة الله عليه ne – jinhon ne Quraan ka paighaam aapke dil-o-dimagh mein raasikh kar diya.
Quraan se Ta’alluq – Ghar se Hi Roshan Safar
Taaj-ush-Shariah ne Nazrah Quraan Kareem ki takmeel apni Walidah Majidah, Shahzadi-e-Mufti-e-Azam ke haath se ki – yeh taleem aapke liye sirf huroof ki pehchaan na thi, balke roohani wisaal ka zariya thi. Aapne Urdu ki ibtedai kutub apne Walid Majid se parhi aur unhi ke zer-e-saya Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam mein dakhil hue.
Dars-e-Nizami – Manzar-e-Islam se Azhar Tak
Aap ne Dars-e-Nizami ka mukammal course Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam, Bareilly Shareef se mukammal kiya. Aapka zehni istidaad, dilli lagan aur ilm se shiddat ka jazbah har maqam par numaya tha.
Ilm ka yeh safar yahin nahi rukta—balki 1963 mein aap ne Al-Azhar University, Qahira (Egypt) ka rukh kiya, jahan aapko Kuliyat Usool-ud-Deen mein dakhila diya gaya. Wahaan aap ne fan-e-Tafsir aur fan-e-Hadees jaise ahem uloom mein 3 saal tak mo’tabar aur buzurg asatiza se ilm haasil kiya.
Al-Azhar se Taqreeb-e-Takmeel
Aap ne 1966 Isvi / 1386 Hijri mein Jami‘ah Al-Azhar Misr se takmeel-e-taleem ki. Aapki shandar academic performance par Misr ke us waqt ke Saddar Karnal Jamal Abdul Nasir ne aapko “Jamiah Azhar Award” se nawaza aur aapko shahadat nama (Sanad) bhi ata ki gayi. Yeh aik azeem martaba tha jo puri Barelwi silsile ke liye fakhar ka ba‘is bana.
Asatiza-e-Kiram (Teachers)
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah رحمة الله عليه ko zindagi ke har mor par aise buzurg asatiza ki sohbat nasib hui jinhon ne aapke ilm, adab, taqwa aur fiqh me barakatein ata ki. In buzurg hasti ko apna ustaad kehna apne aap mein ek sharaf hai:

Azdawaji Zindagi
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ki azdawaji zindagi bhi aapki roohani zindagi ki tarah noor se roshan thi. Aap ka aqd-e-masnoon ek nihayat paak, ilm-dost aur roohani silsile se jura hua tha.
Nikah ki Taqreeb
Aapka aqd 3 November 1968 (Itwaar) ko, jo ke Sha‘ban-ul-Mu‘azzam 1388 Hijri ka aik pur-noor din tha, Bareilly Shareef ke Muhalla Kaankar Tola, Sheher-e-Kohna mein anjaam paya.
Is paakeeza rishte mein aapke nikah ka bandhan jura:
Hakeem-ul-Islam Maulana Husnain Raza Barelvi رحمة الله عليه ki Dukhtar-e-Neek Akhtar ke saath.
Yeh rishta sirf shadi ka nahi tha, balke ilm, adab, tasawwuf aur taharat ka aisa roohani ittehad tha jo do azim silsilon – Mufti-e-Azam Hind aur Hakeem-ul-Islam – ko ek dosti aur barkat ke rishte mein jor raha tha.
Aulad-e-Rasheeda – Barkat ka Silsila
Allah Ta’ala ne Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ko ek sahibzade aur paanch sahibzadiyon ke saath nawaza. Aapke sahibzade:
Makhdoom-e-Millat Hazrat Maulana Asjad Raza Khan Qadri Barelvi حفظه الله
Aaj poori duniya mein, Asjad Raza Khan sahab Azhari Miya ke roohani, ilmi aur fiqhi virsay ke waris hain – aur silsila e Razvia ki roohani qiyadat ko aage barha rahe hain.
Dars o Tadrees – Ilm Ka Safar, Fiqh Ka Manzil
Huzoor Tajush Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه sirf ek buzurg faqih hi nahi, balke ek nihayat buzurg ustad, moallim aur ilmi virsay ke aalim e ba-amal bhi the. Aap ka dars o tadrees ka safar un la-misāl shakhsiyaat ka aaine daar hai jin ke liye ilm aur adab sirf mazmoon nahi, zindagi ka manhaj tha.
Ibtida Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam Se
Aapne 1967 Isvi mein apne jadd-e-karim Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ke asaas shuda madarsa Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam, Bareilly Shareef mein dars dena shuru kiya. Aapke asaatiza mein aise aalim-e-rabbani shamil rahe jo ilmi awaaqib aur tafaqquh fil deen mein misaal the. Aapka dars aisi baseerat aur samajh ka misaal tha jo sirf mutala’ se nahi, balki tahqeeq aur tazkiya se nikalti thi.
Sadr-ul-Mudarris aur Sadr Mufti ke Ahdon par Faiz Yabi
1978 Isvi mein aap ko Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam ka Sadr-ul-Mudarris (Chief Instructor) aur Darul Ifta ka Sadr Mufti (Chief Mufti) muqarrar kiya gaya. Yeh wo darja tha jahan ilmi riyaasat ke saath fiqhi zimmedari ka izafa bhi hua.
Musalsal 12 Saal Ka Dars o Tadrees
Huzoor Tajush Shariah ka silsila-e-tadrees musalsal 12 saal tak jaari raha. Is dauraan aapne arabic grammar, tafseer, hadees, fiqh aur usool ke darsat diye. Aapka lehja, aapki soch aur aapka tafaqquh students ke zehno ko roshan kar deta tha.
Lekin waqt ke sath aap par:
- Duniya bhar ke safraat
- Fatwa Nawesi ka silsila
- Madarij-e-imamat
- Roohani khidmaat
ka bojh barhta gaya, jis ke sabab se aapka dars o tadrees ka silsila mustaqil taur par jari na reh saka.
Aaj Bhi Uloom Ka Silsila Zinda Hai:
Huzoor Tajush Shariah رضي الله عنه ka ilm aur teachings ka silsila unke wisal ke baad bhi zinda hai. Unka ilm ab bhi unke shaagirdon aur khulafa ke zariye duniya bhar mein phela hua hai. Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam aur Markazi Darul Afta mein unki teachings aaj bhi zinda hain, jo har nayi nasl ko roshni de rahi hain. Unka ilm insaaniyat ke liye rahnumai ka zariya hai, aur unke dars o tadrees ka asar aaj bhi mehsoos hota hai.
Bait-o-Khilafat – Roohani Virsa aur Khidmat-e-Deen
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ko Bait-o-Khilafat ka azeem sharf, Sarkar Mufti-e-Azam Hind (رحمة الله عليه) se hasil hai, jo aapke ilm, roohaniyat aur tafseer ke safar ki buniyad ban gaya. Is jazbaat aur roohani izzat ka izhar karte hue, aapne na sirf apne ilm-o-tasawwuf ki maloomat ko barhaya, balki apne khilafat aur ijazat ke zariye dheron jazbaat ko apna liya.
Bait ka Sharf
Jab Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ki umar sirf 19 saal thi, to 15 January 1962 (Isvi) / 1381 Hijri, aapko Bait ka sharf Sarkar Mufti-e-Azam Hind (رحمة الله عليه) se hasil hua. Is waqt, aapko apne ilm, adab aur roohaniyat ke safar mein irshaad o rehnumai kiya gaya.
Yeh waqt Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ke liye roohani tareeqe se aik ahem mor tha, jahan unko tamaam Salasil-e-Tasawwuf ki Khilafat o Ijazat mil gayi thi. Aapki is khidmat ke liye Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam Hind ka shukriya ada kiya gaya, jo ek roohani talabgaar ko apne ilmi safar par nikalne ki himmat dete hain.
Khilafat o Ijazat ka Milna
Is ke baad, Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ko Jami’a Salasil ki Ijazat aur Khilafat ne unki ilm-o-khidmat ki zindagi mein na sirf barkat barhayi, balki aapko duniya bhar ke azeem ulama aur sufi mashaaikh se khilafat o ijazat hasil hui:
- Hazrat Mufti Burhan ul Haq Jabalpuri (Khalifa-e-Aala Hazrat Burhan-e-Millat)
- Hazrat Sayyad Shah Aal Mustafa Barkati Marahravi (Sayyad-ul-Ulama)
- Hazrat Haidar Hasan Miyan Barkati (Ahsan-ul-Ulama)
- Walid-e-Majid, Hazrat Mufti Ibrahim Raza Khan Quadri (Mufassir-e-Azam Hind)
Yeh Ijazat aur Khilafat unke roohani safar ko uss manzil tak le gaya jahan aapne apni zindagi mein na sirf khidmat-e-deen, balki ilm, adab, tasawwuf aur khidmat-e-ummah ko bhi apna farz samjha.
Bargah-e-Murshid Mein Maqaam
Huzoor Tajush Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ka roohani safar apne Murshid-e-Kaamil, Sarkar Mufti-e-Azam Hind Hazrat Allama Mufti Muhammed Mustafa Raza Khan Noori رحمة الله عليه ke saath ek azeem aur ilmi rawaiyat par mabni tha. Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam Hind ka bar haq irshad aur khudai rahnumai Huzoor Tajushshariya ke liye har waqt roohani tawaqqu’aat ka sabab bani.
Murshid ki Azeem Tawaqqu’aat
Jab Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah bachpan mein the, Sarkar Mufti-e-Azam Hind (رحمة الله عليه) ne unmein beinteha tawaqqu’aat rakhte hue aapko apne irshaad aur guidance se roshan kiya. Is baat ka andaza unke irshaad-e-‘Aaliyah se lagaya ja sakta hai. Aapne kai dafa farmaya:
“Is ladke (Huzoor Tajush Shariah) se bahut ummid hai.”
Yeh jumlay, jo aapke Murshid ne apne mureed ke liye farmaye, us waqt ka hisa tha jab unko Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah ke roohani maqamat aur ilm se yaqeen tha.
Darul Ifta Ki Zimmedari
Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam Hind (رحمة الله عليه) ne apni zindagi ke aakhri dour mein Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah ko Darul Ifta ki azeem zimmedari diye jaane ke baad, unko apni khalafat o ijazat ki sanad di. Is waqt, Sarkar Mufti-e-Azam Hind ne apne janasheen aur qayem maqam ko apne ikhlas aur roohani tawaqqu’aat ke saath farmaya:
“Akhtar Miya, ab ghar mein baithne ka waqt nahi hai. Yeh log, jin ki bheed lagti hai, kabhi sukoon se baithne nahi dete. Ab tum is kaam ko anjaam do, main tumhare supurd karta hoon.”
Qayem Muqam Aur Janasheen
Jab Sarkar Mufti-e-Azam Hind ne apni hayat-e-mubarak ke aakhri waqat mein Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah ko apna qayem muqam aur janasheen muqarrar kiya, to yeh aapke roohani maqamat aur ilm ka darya tha. Is irshaad se unki khidmat-e-deen aur ilm-o-tasawwuf ka safar us manzil ki taraf barh gaya jahan aapko apne Murshid ki barkat aur dua ka asar nazar aane laga.
“Aap log ab Akhtar Miya se ruju karein, inhi ko mera qayem muqam aur janasheen jane.”
Yeh ilm-o-tasawwuf ka safar sirf ilm tak mehdood nahi tha, balki tahreeran aur roohaniyat ki taraf bhi aapka darya tha, jahan aapke liye sunnat o tareeqat ke rastaat khul gaye.
Fatawa Nawesi
Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ka fatawa nawesi ka safar ek azeem ilm o fiqh ki riwayat hai jo Khandan-e-Razviya ke silsila mein musalsal jari hai. Yeh silsila 1831 Isvi se ab tak musalsal hai, jo apni ilmiyati aur fiqhi manzilon ko chhoo raha hai.
Bareilly Shareef ki Masnad Afta ka Khali Hona Aur Fatawa Nawesi ka Ibtida
1816 Isvi mein Rohela Hukumat ke khatmah, Bareilly Shareef par angrezo ka qabza aur Hazrat Mufti Muhammed Uyooz Sahab ke Rohil Khand (Bareilly) se Tonk tashreef le jaane ke baad, Bareilly ki masnad afta khali ho gayi thi. Is waqt, Imam-ul-Ulama Hazrat Mufti Raza Ali Khan Naqshbandi (رحمة الله عليه) ne Bareilly ki masnad afta ko dobara se roohani tawaqqu’aat aur ilm se roshan kiya, aur yahin se Khandan-e-Razviya mein Fatawa Nawesi ki riwayat ki ibtida hui.
Fatawa Nawesi ka Silsila
Fatawa Nawesi ka silsila 1831 Isvi mein Hazrat Mufti Raza Ali Khan Naqshbandi (رحمة الله عليه) ki ilmiyati riwayat se shuru hota hai. Is waqt se lekar aaj tak, yeh silsila 179 saal se musalsal chal raha hai. Fatawa Bareilly Shareef ne duniya bhar mein fiqhi aur jurisprudence ke mamlaat mein ahem maqam hasil kiya.
Fatawa Nawesi ke is azeem safar mein, jo Khandan-e-Razviya se chali aa rahi hai, aapke baad hazaron ulama aur muftiyan e karram ne is safar ko jari rakha. Aapke baad:
- Imam-ul-Fuqaha Hazrat Allama Mufti Muhammad Raza Ali Khan Qadri Brelvi
- Imam-ul-Mutakallimeen Hazrat Allama Maulana Naqi Ali Khan Qadri Barkati
- Aalahazrat Muzaddid Deen wa Millat Hazrat Allama Maulana Mufti Muhammad Ahmed Raza Khan Qadri Barkati
- Shahzada e Aalahazrat Hujjat-ul-Islam Jamal-ul-Anaam Hazrat Allama Maulana Mufti Hamid Raza Khan Qadri Rizvi
- Shahzada e Aalahazrat Tajdar-e-AhleSunnat Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind Allama Maulana Mufti Muhammad Mustafa Raza Khan Qadri Noori
- Nabeer e Aalahazrat Mufassir-e-Azam-e-Hind Hazrat Allama Mufti Ibrahim Raza Khan Qadri Rizvi
- Taaj-ush-Shariah Hazrat Allama Maulana Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari
Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah Ka Fatawa Aur Unka Ilmi Darja
Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah apne fatwa nawesi ke baare mein khud farmate hain:
“Main bachpan hi se Hazrat Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (رحمة الله عليه) se dakhila silsila ho gaya tha. Jamia Azhar se wapis aane ke baad maine apni dilchaspi ki bina par fatwa ka kaam shuru kiya.”
Ilmi Aur Fiqhi Asar
Huzoor Tajushshariya ka Fatawa Nawesi sirf ek fiqhi kaam nahi, balki ilm aur fiqh ki un zubaanon mein behtareen tafaheem ka safar tha jo Aalahazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qadri (رحمة الله عليه) ki tahreer se milti thi. Aap ke fatwayon ki tahreer me mujtahid ki kami nahi thi, aur yeh ilm-e-fiqh ke behat aur mushkil masail ko samajhne aur hal karne ka zariya ban gayi thi.
Yeh silsila Fatawa Nawesi ka ab tak jaari hai, jisme Khandan-e-Razviya ka ilm aur fiqh ka safar duniya bhar me wahid aur aahmiyaat ka zariya bana hua hai.
Hajj aur Umrah
Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ki Hajj wa Ziyaat ki safar ki kahani unki roohani o ilmiyati safar ka izhar karti hai. Aapko Baitullah Sharif aur Sarkar e Aali Waqaar ﷺ ki bargah mein kai martaba Ziyaat aur Hajj ka sharaf haasil hua.
Hajj ka Safar
Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah ne apni pehli martaba Hajj ki saadat Hijri 1403 / Eisvi 1983 mein hasil ki. Is safar ke baad, aap ne doosri martaba Hajj Hijri 1405 / Eisvi 1985 mein, aur teesri martaba Hijri 1406 / Eisvi 1986 mein Baitullah ki taraf safar kiya.
Uske baad, chauthay martaba Hajj ki saadat aapko Hijri 1429 / Eisvi 2008 mein aur panchvi martaba Hajj ki saadat Hijri 1430 / Eisvi 2009 mein mili.
Umrah aur Ziyaat
Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah ko sirf Hajj ki saadat nahi mili, balki aapko kai martaba Sarkar e Aali Waqaar ﷺ ki bargah be-kas panah se Umrah ki saadat bhi milti rahi.
10 June 2013 / 1 Shaban-ul-Muazzam 1434 Hijri ko Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah Kaaba Shareef ke andar tashreef le gaye. Yahan, Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah ne usi mussale par namaz ada ki, jahan aapke pyare Aaqa ﷺ ne namaz ada ki thi, aur aapne dua ki, jo hum sab ke liye rahmat aur barkat ka zariya thi.
Kaaba Shareef Mein Tashreef Aur Waqia
Huzoor Asjad Miya ke bayan ke mutabiq, jab Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah Kaaba Shareef ke darwaze ke bahar tashreef laaye, toh aapka chehra noor se mamoor tha. Wahan aane wale zayeereen (Arab aur doosre mumalik ke log) puchne lage, “Ye shaikh hai kaun?”
Toh ek Najdi ne khud hi jawab diya, aur Arabi mein kaha:
“Haaza Shaikh-e-Kabeer” – yani “Ye sabse bade shaikh hain.”
Roohani Fazeelat Aur Ilmi Asar
Is waaqe se yeh wazeh hota hai ke Huzoor Taj-ush-Shariah ka maqam sirf ilm o fiqh mein nahi, balki roohani aur taqwa ke maamlay mein bhi azeem tha. Aap ka chehra ka noor aur Kaaba Shareef ke andar ki tashreef, yeh sab khudai inayat aur barakaat ka izhaar thi, jo Sarkar e Aali Waqaar ﷺ ki mohabbat aur rahmat ka nateeja thi.
Huzoor Tajushariya ka yeh safar na sirf ilmi o fiqhi tehqiqat ka tha, balki yeh unke roohani maqam aur ilm-e-Din ki taraf ek aur hidayat thi, jo har zayeer ko roohani faida aur ilm-e-Deen se roshan karne wala tha.
Tasaneef – Ilmi Khidmat aur Tahriri Fehrest
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ki tasaneef unke ilm, tahqeeqat, aur fiqhi khidmat ka ek azeem wazeh izhaar hai. Aapki tasaneef mukhtalif uloom aur funoon par mabni hain, jo ilm ke har pehlu mein unki khidmat-e-Deen aur ilm-e-Fiqh ki izzat ko darja dete hain. Aapka ilm na sirf Fatawa Nawesi ke liye mashhoor hai, balki aapne tahqeeqat aur tasaneef ke zariye bhi Deen ki roshni ko har sheher aur ilm ke dawron tak pohnchaya.

Ilmi Khidmat Aur Safar:
Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ki ilmi khidmat na sirf India tak mehdood thi, balki aapne duniya bhar mein ilm-o-deen ka noor pohnchaya.

21 Zil Qa’ada 1404 Hijri (18 August 1984) ko Junagadh, Gujarat ki Raza Masjid mein Bazm-e-Raza ke jalse ke dauraan Ameer-e-Shariat Haaji Noor Muhammad Razawi Maarfani ne aap ko yeh laqab diya. Mufti Ahmad Miya (Mufti-e-Gujarat) ne is laqab ki ta’yid ki. - Mufti-e-A’zam ka Jānashīn

Saudi Arabia Me Giraftari Aur Rehaai Ka Waqiya
24 Zil Hijja 1406 Hijri (31 August 1986 A.D.) ko Saudi hukoomat ne Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari ko giraftaar kar liya. Is giraftari par duniya bhar me Ahle Sunnat wal Jama’at ke andar bepanah gham o gussa phael gaya.
8 Moharram 1407 Hijri (13 September 1986 A.D.) ko Mumbai me Hazrat Muhaddis-e-Kabeer Allama Zia-ul-Mustafa Qadri sahab ki sar-parasti me takreeban 50,000 log jama hue aur ek shandaar aur pur-aman ehtijaaji juloos ka intezam kiya gaya. Is ehtijaaj ka maqsad Saudi hukoomat ke zulm aur na-insaafi ke khilaf awaaz uthana tha.
Yeh ehtijaaj sirf yahan tak mehdood nahi raha, balke baad me bhi mukhtalif shehron me Ahle Sunnat ne is par apna gussa zahir kiya.
Aakhirkaar, Saudi hukoomat ko dabao ke aage jhukna pada aur Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ko riha kar diya gaya, lekin afsos ke sath yeh kehna padta hai ke unhe Madina Munawwara ki ziyarat ki ijaazat nahi di gayi, aur seedha Jeddah Airport se Hindustan wapas bhej diya gaya.
Is na-insaafi ke khilaf World Islamic Mission (London) ne bhi ehtijaaj jaari rakha. Hazrat Allama Arshad-ul-Qadri ne Saudi Arabia ke Safeer ko Arabi zabaan me ek kafi ta’seer daalne wala khat diya, jisme poore waqiya par roshni daali gayi.
Is saari koshish ke baad, 22 Ramazaan 1407 Hijri (21 May 1987 A.D.) ko Saudi Embassy, Delhi se Huzoor Taaj-ush-Shariah ko ittila di gayi ke “Saudi hukoomat ne aap ko Umrah ke liye visa de diya hai.”
Phir 28 Ramazaan 1407 Hijri (27 May 1987 A.D.) ko aap Umrah ke liye rawana hue, aur is safar me aap ne Umrah aur Ziyarat dono ada kiye.
Karaamaat
Dua-e-Istisqa aur Barish ka Mojza (2003)
Qaari Abdul Jaleel sahab bayaan karte hain:
“2003 A.D. me Hazrat Taaj-ush-Shariah Azhari Miyan Daar-ul-Uloom Hanafiya Zia-ul-Qur’an ki dastaarbandi ke jalse me tashreef laaye the. Un dino mein wahan baarish na hone ke sabab qahet (akaal) jaisa mahaul tha. Logon ne Hazrat se dua ke liye darkhwaast ki. Aap ne Namaaz-e-Istisqa ada farmai aur dua ke liye haath uthaye. Dua ke dauraan hi ALLAH ta’ala ke fazl se tez baarish shuru ho gayi. Har taraf khushi ki leher daud gayi.”
Marwadi ki Dukaan aur ‘Ya Qaadiru’ ka Asar
Dr. Ghulaam Mustafa Qaadri (Mumbai) bayaan karte hain:
“Mysore me Hazrat ke ek mureed ki dukaan thi. Us ke bagal me ek Hindu Marwadi ki dukaan thi jo us mureed ki dukaan ko zabardasti khareedna chahta tha. Jab woh Marwadi zyada tang karne laga to mureed ne Hazrat Taaj-ush-Shariah ko phone par waaqiya sunaya. Aap ne irshaad farmaya: Main tumhare liye dua go hoon. Har namaaz ke baad ‘Ya Qaadiru’ ka wird kiya karo.
Sirf 10 din baad wohi Marwadi us mureed ke paas aaya aur apni dukaan bechne ki guzaarish ki. Mureed ne uski dukaan khareed li aur tamam pareshani door ho gayi. Yeh sab aap ki dua aur irshaad ki barkat thi.”
Hubli ka Saaya Zada Mahel aur Barkat-e-Qayaam
Hubli me ek musalmaan ne ek badi aur shandar haveli (mahel) banwayi thi. Magar jab us ne wahan rehna shuru kiya to raat me ajeeb-o-gharib aawaazen, aandhiyaan aur khaufnaak halaat samne aate. Dara hua woh aadmi us ghar ko chhod kar kahi aur shift ho gaya aur yeh haveli kaafi arse tak khaali padhi rahi.
Ek dafa Hazrat Taaj-ush-Shariah Hubli me ek jalse ke liye tashreef laaye. Usi shakhs ne aap ki mehmaannawaazi ka sharaf haasil kiya aur aap ko usi haveli me thehraaya. Aap ne wahan Ishaa aur Fajr ki namaaz ba-jama’at ada farmai.
Hazrat ke chand ghanton ke qayaam ki barkat se woh saari ajeeb aawaazen aur saaya zada haalaat bilkul khatam ho gaye. Us ke baad se woh shakhs apne parivaar ke saath usi mahel me raahat ke sath rehne laga.
Wisaal Purmalaal
Hazrat Taaj-ush-Shariah Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Qadri Azhari رحمة الله عليه ka wisaal 7 Zil Qa’ada 1439 Hijri, mutabiq 20 July 2018 A.D. ko Peer ke din shaam 7:14 baje hua.
Yeh wisaal sirf ek buzurg aalim ka inteqal nahi tha, balke ek roohani rahnuma, ek mufti-e-azam, ek ilm o adab ke maahir, aur millat-e-Ahle Sunnat ke sirtaaj ki duniya se rukhsati thi.
Aap ke wisaal ki khabar aate hi na sirf Hindustan, balki poori duniya ke Sunni musalmaan ghamzada ho gaye. Masajid me Qur’an khwani, duayein, aur yaadgar jalse mun’aqid hue.
Aap ki janaza namaaz Bareilly Shareef me lakhon ke hujoom ne ada ki. Har aankh ashkbaar thi, har dil udaas. Aap ko aap ke dada Huzoor A’ala Hazrat امام احمد رضا Khan فاضلِ بریلوی رحمة الله عليه ke qadamgahon me dafn kiya gaya.
Aap ka wisaal ilm ka ek roshan sitara doobne ke barabar tha, magar aap ki tasneefat, fatawaat, ta’leemaat, aur roohani silsila hamesha roshan rahega, inshaALLAH.
Yā Allāh!
Humein sacha ishq-e-Rasool ﷺ naseeb farma,
Humein ilm, amal aur ikhlaas ki roshni ata farma,
Aur Hazrat Taaj-ush-Shari’ah رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ke naqsh-e-qadam par chalne ki taufiq de.
Aameen.
