A Study into Imam Ahmad Razaās Poetic Defence of the Sunni Creed
Ā
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadiri (1856-1921 CE) of Bareilly, fondly referred to as Ala Hazrat (Grand Master) by his devotees, was a Mufti (Islamic jurist), Alim (scholar), Sufi (mystic), Sha'ir (poet) and master of many other disciplines who emerged as a central figure for the Ahl-e-Sunnat movementĀ during British India. He played a pioneering role in countering the theological beliefs of other movements that emerged in this period from amongst the Muslims of India, including the Ahl-e-Hadith, Deobandi and Qadiyani movements. It is for this reason that he was regarded by his devotees as a mujaddid - a reviver of Islam that emerges each century to purify the religion back to its most pristine state and preserve the religion against heresies.
Ā
In western academia, Imam Ahmad Raza's historical significance has previously been explored scarcely and been limited to biographical accounts and references to a handful of his books and fatÄwa (legal verdicts). A focus on his role as a poet is almost non-existent. Imam Ahmad Raza's devotional poetry, found in the collection HadƤig-e-Bakhshish (Gardens of Salvation), was an instrumental tool in launching his theological defence and disseminating what he considered as the true beliefs of IslÄm.
Ā
This is the first study that focusses on Imam Ahmad Raza's significance as a poet, the theological concepts found in his poetry and the role it played in defending against opposition from other religious movements in British India. It attempts to answer the question: What role did Imam Ahmad Raza's poetry play in a period where the Ahl-e-Sunnat's theological beliefs were challenged by other reform movements in British India?
