FAVOURABLE REVIEW
All Praise is due to Allah . Peace and Blessings be upon His Beloved Prophet ],
his noble Family and the illustrious Companions.
None can be a perfect Muslim with out the love for Allahs Beloved Prophet
], his Companions and Ahl ul Bayt i.e. the Family of the Prophet ]. This
valuable book, The Superiority of Sayyids is the translation of Al Kalam al
Maqbul fi Taharati Nasab al Rasool which was compiled by the eminent scholar
of Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah, Hazrat Allama Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Naeemi. He
is a prolific author of many books related to the Belief and Creed of Ahl us
Sunnah wal Jamah. All his books are marked with the authenticity of the content
and deep love for the Beloved Prophet ].
The topic of this book is the Superiority of the Ahl ul Bayt as well as their
progeny who are called as Sayyid. There are many verses of the Holy Quran and
the traditions of the Prophet ] which emphasize their Superiority over the rest
of the Muslims. The author has proved their excellence through many narrations
and proofs.
This book has been translated by the respected, Basharath Ali Siddiqui Quadri
Ashrafi. Prior to this, he has already translated more than 47 other important
books of numerous scholars. I have personally gone through the whole
translation of this book and have found it to be good and lucid.
May Allah reward him for this effort and make this book a source of
Guidance for one and all.

PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
All Praise belongs to the All Powerful Lord-Allah Almighty and Peace,
Blessings and Salutations be upon the Beloved of Allah - Muhammad
Mustafa ] and upon his Noble Progeny.
We, as Muslims know that Allah Almighty bestowed upon our Prophet
- Muhammad ] numerous Khasayis {Peculiarities and Specialities} and
Mujizat {Miracles} unfound in any of His former Prophets. Among these
uncountable Khasayis and Mujizat is the continuation of the Progeny of
the Beloved Rasul-Allah ] through his noble and youngest daughter
Sayyidah Fatimah Zahra % and her sons Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and
Sayyiduna Imam Husayn . This continuance of Progeny through one's
daughter is unique to the Beloved Prophet of Islam ] only and is
considered as one of his Miracles {Mujizah}.
Amir ul Muminin Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab narrated that the
Beloved Rasul Allah ] said:
Every genealogical lineage {Sababin wa Nasabin} will get terminated
{Munqatiun} on the Day of Judgement {Qiyamah} except my genealogical
lineage {Sababi wa Nasabi}. Every son is attributed to his father except the
children of Fatimah, for I am their father <in attribution> and also their
genealogical lineage. {Musannaf Abdur Razzakh, Sunan al Kubra Bayhaqi & Mujam
ul Awsat, Mujam ul Kabir of Imam Tibrani}
Through out Islamic history, Muhaddithin have mentioned numerous
Hadiths on the Merits of Ahl ul Bayt in their Hadith collections under the
chapters, Kitab ul Fazail or Kitab ul Manaqib. While some Scholars
authored books specially dedicated to the merits of the respected Sayyids
such as Al Ilm uz Zahir fi Nafai Nasab it Tahir by the great Hanafi Jurist
Imam Sayyid Ibn Abidin Shami, Ihya al Mayyit fi Fazail al Ahl ul Bayt by
Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti, Irath ul Adab li Fazil un Nasab & Az Zahr al
Basim fi Hurmat iz Zakat ala Bani Hashim by Imam al Akbar Ahmad Raza
Khan Quadri Bareilvi and the exceptionally excellent Al Sharf ul Mawbad
li Aali Muhammad ] by Imam Yusuf bin Ismail Nabhani Shafai'.
But the merits, greatness, superiority, nobility and genealogy of the Sayyids
or Ahl ul Bayt has also become one of the most debatable points between
the Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah and numerous other astray sects of Islam in
recent times, most importantly the most deviant Wahhabiya and its
numerous by-products of the past century such as the Salafiya {Ahle
Hadith}, Deobandiya and Jamat al Islami. These sects deny the immense
merits of the present day Sayyids or Ahl ul Bayt which is based upon their
noble genealogical lineage and consider only piety as the criteria for one's
greatness, superiority and nobility.
Al Kalam ul Maqbul fi Taharati Nasab al Rasul was written by one of the
greatest Mufassirin {Exegators of Quran} and Muhaddithin {Hadith Masters}
of the Indian subcontinent - Ashraf ul Mufassirin Hakeem ul Ummat
Mufti Ahmad Yaar Khan Ashrafi Nayimi in answer to a Questionnaire sent
by some people. It was later published in the compendium of his epistles
Rasail e Nayimiya. Despite its brevity and conciseness, the book answers
and clarifies all the major doubts on the subject in the Light of numerous
Quranic Ayahs, Authentic Hadiths and numerous other logical evidences.
We are thankful to Shaykh Allama Sayyid Alamgir Ashraf Ashrafi Jilani
who first turned our attention towards the translation of this excellent
book. We are also extremely thankful to Shaykh ul Hadith Mufti Raza ul
Haq Ashrafi Misbahi, former Shaykh ul Hadith and former Chief Mufti of
Jamiya Ashraf, Kichocha, India and the Khalifa of Sarkar e Kalan Sayyid
Mukhtar Ashraf Ashrafi Jilani Kichochavi who explained and clarified
some points in this book.
Along with the Translation, we have provided 19 highly informative Foot-
Notes in order to clarify the subject. All Hadiths have also been referenced,
giving priority to the Sihah Sittah {The famous Six Authentic Hadith books}.
Though maximum care has been taken in proof reading the Translated
text, still due to human traits, the appearance of mistakes can not be
denied. Therefore, all mistakes and defects are that of the Translator and
the great Author is free from all such defects.
The Ahl us Sunnah Research Foundation, is trying to its best to Translate
and Publish essential Ahl us Sunnah Literature both on the topics of
Aqayid {Beliefs and Doctrines} as well as Amal {Practices}. So far the
Institute has Translated 47 books of Ahl us Sunnah Scholars on various
topics, among which 16 have been published. Hope this Translation too
meets the hopes of our readers.
May Allah Almighty accept our sincere endeavours in Translating and
Publishing this book and make it as a Means of our Salvation through the
noble Wasila of the Beloved Muhammad Rasul Allah ]!

Al Kalam ul Mabul fi Taharati
Taharati Nasab al Rasul
What do the Scholars of Religion say in this matter that:
Zayd says: All Genealogies and Families are equal in Islam, none is
Superior {Afzal} to other. Therefore, Sayyid, Pathan, Tayli, Barbers
{Nai}, Launderer {Dhobi} are all equal in status. Superiority {Fazilat} is
only based upon Piety {Taqwa} and not upon Genealogy {Nasab}.
He also says: Ones Pious Forefathers will be of no use <i.e. will not benefit in
the Here After {Akhirah}>, and that only Good Deeds {Amal} will be of use.
Zayd presents this Ayah:
w
y
O people! We have created you from one man and one woman and made
you in branches and tribes that you may recognize one another.
Undoubtedly, the most respected among you in the sight of Allah is one
who is more pious; Verily, Allah is Knowing, Aware.
{Surah al Hujarat; 49: 13}
Apart from this, the Prophet ] also said:
O Fatimah! I can not ward off the Punishment of Allah Almighty from
1
you!

. Based on the Hadiths of Sahih Muslim, Kitab ul Iman; See Footnote # 12 for details on

The Noble Hadiths

There are numerous Hadiths on this subject. In some Hadiths, it is said

Your Mercy. You alone are most Relenting and Merciful. While in other Hadiths, it is said: Hasan and Husayn are the Sayyids
{Surah al Baqarah; 2: 128} 4
{Leaders or Chief} of the youth in Paradise. ...... Etc.
We come to know from this Supplication {Dua}, that, all the Sayyids can
never go astray. All other Islamic genealogical communities can go astray
completely. From this, we come to know that the genealogy and family of
Sayyiduna Ibrahim 6 is greater {Ala} and superior {Afzal} as they have 3
. There are approximately 6 Hadiths in various Hadith Books regarding Sayyidah
Sayyiduna Ibrahims 6 supplication. Fatimah Zahra % being the Sayyidata Nisa i Ahl il Jannah or Sayyidata Nisa il

In the previous pages, answer to the question of the Questioner was being
presented; and now are the answers to the objections of Zayd!
Objection 1
The Ayah presented by Zayd is:

O people! We have created you from one man and one woman and made
you in branches and tribes that you may recognize one another.
Undoubtedly, the most respected among you in the sight of Allah is one

{Surah al Hujarat; 49: 13}
Answer
Answer
The meaning of this Ayah is not what Zayd understood, that is, in Islam;
the progeny of the Prophet ] has no precedence or superiority over other
progenies. If this had been the meaning of this Ayah then it would be
against all those Ayahs which have been presented in the previous pages.
Therefore, the meaning of this Ayah is that, All Muslims are respectful
irrespective of the tribe to which they belong. Do not think any Islamic
tribe as dishonourable or disgraceful {Zaleel} as was the custom among the
Arabs <in pre- Islamic times> that they used to consider some tribes as
despicable or contemptible {Hakheer}
{Zaleel}. Therefore, no tribe among the Muslims is dishonourable or
disgraceful. Though, some are meritorious

....The Honour is for Allah and His Messenger and Muminin (Believers) ....
{Surah al Munafiqun; 63: 8}
In this Ayah, all Muslims are included. With out any doubt, you can
understand it in this way that, All Prophets are Respectful and even the
smallest disrespect of any of them is Infidelity {Kufr}. But, some Prophets
are more meritorious than the others. Or in this way that, No one should
w abandon piety {Taqwa} due to genealogical superiority. Rather, it should be
Almighty . People with higher genealogies should have higher piety. Or
the meaning of this Ayah may be that, one tribe or family should not taunt
another tribe or family nor should think another Muslim as menial or base
- born {Kameen} nor should make fun of another Muslim due to his tribe or
family. It is compulsory {Wajib} to respect and revere every Muslim. The
exegation {Tafsir} of the above Ayah is this Ayah of the Holy Quran...........

y
O Believers! Let not the men scoff at the men, perchance they may be
better than those who scoff, and nor than those who scoff, and not the
women at other women, perchance that they may be better than those
women who scoff, and do not taunt one another and not call one another
by nicknames. What a bad name it is to be called a Disobedient after being
a Muslim, and those who do not repent, they are the unjust.

and was said so as to warn the Quraysh to accept Islam and Faith {Iman} and do not be

The Beloved RasulAllah ] said these words standing on the Hill of Safa in Makkah, thus
indicating it was during the earlier period of propagation! And the Ayah of the Holy
Quran is also Makkan which commands the Prophet ] to warn his kinsmen.
Mufti Ahmad Yaar Khan Ashrafi writes in Tafsir al Nayimi: All the Ayahs and Hadiths
pertaining to the refusal of Intercession by the Beloved RasulAllah ] refer to Kuffar
<and for those in the state of Kufr>. Sayyidah Fatimah Zahra % is also being warned of
the same thing that: If you do not accept Iman, then your Intercession will not occur.
Therefore, in many Ayahs by revealing Illa, they have been exempted <by Allah
Almighty>! {Tafsir al Nayimi; 1: 366}
14
. Mirzai: This sect is also called as 'Qadiyani' and are named after Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad Qadiyani who claimed to be a Revivalist {'Mujaddid'} in 1884 C.E, then opposed
the life of Sayyiduna Isa and claimed himself to be 'Masih' in 1308 A.H/ 1891 C.E and
then finally declared his Prophethood in 1318 A.H/ 1901 C.E and was therefore declared
an Infidel {'Kafir'} by the scholars of Ahl us Sunnah of the Arab world and the Indian
subcontinent in numerous books, the first and the most important of which are 'Hussam
ul Haramayn' of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan and 'As Sawarim ul Hindiya' of Shaykh
Hashmat Ali Khan Lukhnavi.
15
. Rafzi: This sect is also known as the 'Shiya' and is one of the most ancient sects of Islam
having come into existence during the era of Amir ul Mu'minin Sayyiduna Ali bin Abu
Talib . This sect exalts the status of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abu Talib much beyond
permissible limits. They are themselves branched into several sub-sects among which
some declare Sayyiduna Ali as the 1st Khalifa and declare the majority of the Sahaba of
the Beloved Prophet ] as Infidels, while some raise Sayyiduna Ali to the rank of
Prophethood and while some to the rank of Allah Almighty!
16
. Chakdalvi: This sect is also famously known as the 'Ahl ul Quran' and was founded by
Mawlvi Abdullah Chakdalvi. The main characteristic of this sect is that they balantly deny
the Hadiths and hold that Hadiths are the basis of differences among the Muslims. They

advocate that the Holy Quran is enough for one's salvation and there is no need of
Hadiths in Islam for Muslims. They are the most recent sect to have come into existence
from the Wahhabiya or Ahl ul Hadith. It can be said that they are the most advance
version of 'Ahl ul Hadith' in astrayness!
17
. Wahhabi: The most Notorious and Dangerous of the present day astray Sects are the
present day Khawarij more commonly known as the Wahhabiya Najdiya founded by
Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab Najdi {1111-1207 A.H/1699-1792 C.E} upon the
Principles of Khawarij, Shaykh Taquiuddin Ahmad Ibn Taymiya and Shaykh Ibn Qayyim
Jawzi. The Wahhabiya movement came into Limelight in 1143 A.H / 1730 C.E and took
50 years to spread in the Arabian Peninsula with the help of Muhammad bin Saud {the
ancestor of the present Wahhabi Saudi dynasty of Saudi Arabia}. In India, this Astray Sect
was brought from Najd by Shah Ismail Dehlavi {1193-1246 A.H/1780-1833 C.E} who
wrote the Heretical book named Taqwiyat ul Iman<1240 A.H/1817 C.E>. Thereafter,
the Wahhabiya got divided into Two prominent Sects on the Basis of Fiqh as
Wahhabiya - Muqallidin <Those who Practiced Taqlid of one of the Four Imams of
Fiqh, mostly of Imam Abu Hanifa in India or of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal in Najd, Saudi
Arabia> and Wahhabiya - Ghayr Muqallidin <Those who rejected Taqlid of any one of
the Four Imams and derived their own rulings according to their whims>. These both
Sects of 'Wahhabiya' remained firmly Unified in their 'Aqayid' {Beliefs and Doctrines}
and have only differences in 'Fiqh' {Jurispudence}. The 'Wahhabiya - Muqallidin' were
also known as 'Wahhabiya-Ishaqiya' while the 'Wahhabiya - Ghayr Muqallidin' were
known as 'Wahhabiya-Ismailiya' after their respective chief Scholars i.e Shah Ishaq
Dehlavi and Shah Ismail Dehlavi. The 'Wahhabiya- Muqallidin or Ishaqiya' are today
known as 'Deobandiya or Tablighi Jamat' after their Chief Centre of learning 'Deoband'
and the 'Tablighi Jamat' is its chief operating arm. The 'Wahhabiya- Ghayr Muqallidin'
later named them-selves as 'Ahle Hadith' to avoid Muslim wrath and ban! Nowadays,
these same 'Wahhabiya- Ghayr Muqallidin' or 'Ahle Hadith' have again changed their
name into 'Salafiya' to avoid the wrath and ban of 'Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah' and
Muslims all over the world. These 'Wahhabiya' Sects frequently change their names and
disguises. The notorious 'Deobandiya' or 'Tablighi Jamat' is difficult to identify as they
freely mingle with the Muslim population and practice 'Taqlid' as do the mainstream
Muslims or 'Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah'. Therefore, the common people find it hard to
identify them as some of their 'Outward' Practices such as 'Salah' and 'Sawm' are similar to
for being a Sayyid, Faith and Belief {Iman} are compulsory and these astray
people are away from it.
Due to Infidelity {Kufr} all genealogical relations break away. Therefore,
an Infidel {Kafir} cannot marry a Believer {Mumin}, cannot inherit a
Believers wealth and cannot be buried in the graveyard of Believers
{Muminin}. When the Infidel children will not inherit the wealth of a
Muslim father, then, how is it possible that they can inherit the
genealogical Nobility and Greatness of their father?
18
Abu Lahab belongs to the Bani Hashim, but he does not have any
nobility. Therefore, only those respected Sayyids who are Believers
{Mumin} will benefit from the noble genealogy of the Prophet ]. All
Muslims will benefit due to their relation {Nisbat} with the Prophet ] in
such a way that those who will be destined for Hell will instead go to
Heaven and the Sinful will be pardoned or forgiven. When affiliation or
relation or connection {Nisbat} with the Prophet ] which is Spiritual can
'Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamah'! But, these 'Deobandiya' hold the 'Aqayid' of 'Wahhabiya' and
trace their scholarly ancestry and history to 'Khawarij', Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab
Najdi and Shah Ismail Dehlavi. Apart from these old 'Wahhabi' Sects, some new Heretical
groups have emerged from them such as the famous 'Jamat Islami' of Syed Abul Ala
Mawdudi, the 'Naychariya' {Naturalists} of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Mawlvi Shibli

{Surah al Mujadilah; 58: 2}

y When addressing ones wife as mother is considered an evil act and a
slander or lie and harsh punishment has been prescribed for such people,
then the one who attributes fatherhood to other than their original and
correct fathers is also liable to be declared a slanderer or a liar and worthy
of the punishment of Hellfire in the light of this Verdict {Fatwa} of the Holy
Quran.
This is to say that the one who is not a Sayyid and claims himself to be a
Sayyid indirectly abuses his mother and is cursed by the Beloved Prophet
] and therefore is a slanderer, liar, cheater, deceitful and worthy of
punishment of Hellfire.
It is in Sahih Muslim, Kitab ul Iman that: <Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah narrated
that the Beloved Rasul Allah ] said>: The one who attributed his fatherhood to
other than his original and correct father, even after knowing that he was
not his father, upon him Paradise is Prohibited {Haram}. {Sahih Muslim, Kitab ul
Iman}
In a similar second Hadith, <Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Beloved
Rasul Allah ] said>: Do not deny the lineage of your ancestors, the one who
has denied the fatherhood (lineage) of his real father has done an Act of
Infidelity {Kufr}. {Sahih Muslim, Kitab ul Iman}
In a similar third Hadith, <Sayyiduna Saad bin Abi Waqqas narrated that the
Beloved Rasul Allah ] said>: The Muslim who attributes himself to other than
his original and correct father knowing that he is not his father, upon him
Paradise is Prohibited. {Sahih Muslim, Kitab ul Iman} And in another Hadith it is:
He is Unthankful to Allah Almighty .
Sixth Guideline:
Guideline: If a person belonging to a Sayyid family comes out of the
fold of Islam and becomes Hindu, Sikh, Mirzai, Rafzi, etc then that person
no longer remains a Sayyid and nor they are entitled to the merits which
have been presented above. This is due to their Infidelity {Kufr}, therefore,
the genealogical ties with the Beloved Prophet ] break away instantly.
They are not from the family of their forefathers in the light of Sacred
Islamic Law {Shariyah}. The Holy Quran says regarding Kanan- the son of
Sayyiduna Nuh 6 as follows:
y w
He said, O Nuh! He is not of your family. No doubt his work is not
righteous; .......
{Surah Hud; 11: 46}
When the real son of Sayyiduna Nuh 6 - Kanan does not remain his
son due to Infidelity {Kufr} then how can be such heretics from the
progeny or children of the Beloved Prophet ] remain his progeny or
children?
The Holy Quran further states about Aas bin Wael as follows:
y
w
Undoubtedly, one who is your enemy, he is cut off from every good.
{Surah al Kawthar; 108: 3}
Note that Aas bin Wael had children but Allah Almighty refers to him
as Abtar i.e. Childless because all his children had become Muslims and
he remained an Infidel {Kafir}. Therefore, he was not accepted as a father

of these people nor those people were accepted as his children.

. Regarding the Reasons of Revealation of Surah al Kawthar, Imam al Mufassirin
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas , Sayyiduna Mujahid , Sayyiduna Saeed bin Jubayr
and Sayyiduna Qatadah say that this particular Ayah or Surah was revealed for Aas
bin Wael. Muhammad bin Ishaq narrates from Sayyiduna Yazid bin Ruma that: When

MUFTI AHMAD YAAR KHAN ASHRAFI NAYIMI
(1324-
(1324-1391 A.H / 1906-
1906-1971 C.E)
The famous Mufassir, genius Faqih and erudite Muhaddith of the Indian
subcontinent Hakeem ul Ummat Ashraf ul Mufassirin Mufti Ahmad Yar
Khan Nayimi Ashrafi Quadri Hanafi Badayuni bin Shaykh Muhammad
Yaar Khan Badayuni was born in 1324 A.H / 1906 C.E at Awjhani, near
the North Indian city of Badayun. His father Mawlana Yaar Khan was the
Murid (disciple) of Shaykh ul Mashaikh Sayyid Ali Husayn Ashrafi Quadri
Chishti Kichochavi (1266-1355 A.H / 1849-1936 C.E).
Education
Hakim ul Ummat acquired basic Persian and Arabic learning under his
father and then joined Madrasa Shams ul Ulum, Badayun in 1916 C.E and
continued learning here till 1919 C.E. During these same years he visited
Bareily to meet Imam ul Huda Ahmad Raza Khan Quadri Muhaddith
Bareilvi. Mufti Ahmad Yaar himself narrates the incident as follows:
My age at that time was somewhere between 10-12 years and I was
staying at Badayun. During those days 27th Rajab was approaching and at
Ala Hazrats place (in Bareily) the preparations for Mairaj un Nabi were
at its height. Ala Hazrat used to order special arrangements under his
supervision for this ceremony. Due to his busy engagements and tight
schedule, it was difficult to meet him, but somehow we were fortunate
enough in seeing him in one of the gatherings.
Regarding his educational experiences he says:
I studied under Deobandi scholars for quite some time and under their
influence I began to think that excellence and greatness in (Islamic)
Research can only be found in this particular group...But I met Sadr ul
Afazil Sayyid Nayimuddin Muradabadi and he gave me a monologue of
Ala Hazrat titled Ataya ul Qadeer fi Hukm ul Tasvir for reading and
my fascination for its content found no bonds and limits. When I further
carefully studied this book I began to think about the author and was
captivated by his Scholarly Expertise and Timely Insight... The Truth is that
this book completely changed my Psychological and Doctrinal world and
brought a revolution in it.
Hakeem ul Ummat joined Madrasa Islamiya in 1920 or so but when he
came to know about its affiliation with the Wahhabiya school Dar ul Ulum
Deoband, he left the Madrasa and migrated to join Jamiya Nayimiya,
Muradabad.
Jamiya Nayimiya was the largest Ahl us Sunnah Madrasa in Northern
India; it had the distinction of having some of the greatest scholars of Ahl
us Sunnah in its faculties. Sadr ul Afazil Sayyid Nayimuddin Ashrafi
Muradabadi (1300-1367 A.H / 1883-1948 C.E) taught him for some time but he
soon became busy with the National affairs of Indian Muslims, therefore
he sent for Shaykh Mushtaq Ahmad Kanpuri Naqshbandi Quadri (d.1360 A.H
/ 1941 C.E), the son of Shaykh Ahmad Hasan Kanpuri (d.1322 A.H / 1903 C.E), who
was the Khalifa of Shaykh ul Mashaikh Haji Imdadullah Chishti Muhajir
Makki (1223-1318 A.H / 1817-1899 C.E) to teach at Jamiya Nayimiya.
When, Sadr ul Ulama Mushtaq Ahmad Kanpuri later shifted to Merut,
Hakeem ul Ummat with the permission of Sadr ul Afazil also migrated to
Merut to complete his studies under his teacher. In 1344 A.H / 1925 C.E,
Hakeem ul Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan completed his studies and Sadr
ul Afazil tied a Turban at a Convocation Ceremony in Merut.
Baiyah and Khilafah
Hakeem ul Ummat took Baiyah at the hands of Sadr ul Afazil Sayyid
Nayimuddin Ashrafi Muradabadi in the Quadriya Chishtiya Ashrafiya
tariqah. He also received Khilafah in the same tariqahs from Sadr ul Afazil
and Shabiha Ghawth al Azam Shaykh ul Mashaikh Makhdum ul Awliya
Sayyid Ali Husayn Ashrafi Jilani Kichochavi who is famously known as
Ala Hazrat Ashrafi Miyan.
His Services at various Islamic Universities and Students
Hakeem ul Ummat taught and gave Fatawa at Jamiya Nayimiya until he
was sent to Madrasa Miskiniya where he taught for 9 years. Shaykh ul
Mashaikh Sayyid Ali Husayn Ashrafi invited him to teach at Madrasa
Ashrafiya, Kichocha where he served for 3 years and received Khilafah in
the Ashrafiya tariqah. It was here that Hakeem ul Ummat began to have
close relationship with his Grand-Murshid, Shaykh ul Mashaikh Sayyid
Ali Husayn Ashrafi to an extent that the respected Shaykh made a Will at
the time of his demise that Hakeem ul Ummat should also take part in his
Funeral bath.
Then, Mufti al Azam Pakistan Sayyid Abul Barakat Ahmad Quadri Ashrafi
(d.1397 A.H / 1978 C.E) invited Hakeem ul Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yaar Khan
Ashrafi Nayimi to teach at Dar ul Ulum Khuddam ul Sufiya, Gujrat and
then Jamiya Anjuman Khuddam ul Rasul, Gujrat and he served both the
Madrasas for 13 and 10 years respectfully. Six years before his demise he
began teaching at Jamiya Ghawthiya Nayimiya, Gujrat.
In all Hakeem ul Ummat gave lessons in Fiqh, Hadith and Tafsir for 46
years raising and guiding some of the finest scholars of Ahl us Sunnah wal
Jamah. Hakeem ul Ummat also indirectly raised more students with his
outstanding books than perhaps any scholar in recent times, his works
continue to benefit even the most proficient scholars and not to mention
hundreds of common people who discover new beams of salvation, textual
proofs in support of Ahl us Sunnah which save them from the Heretical
sects and make them firmly adhere to the Path and Aqidah of Ahl us
Sunnah wal Jamah. Among his students are:
1. Imam Ahl us Sunnah Sarkar e Kalan Sayyid Mukhtar Ashraf Ashrafi
Jilani Kichochavi.
2. Shaykh Mufti Muhammad Husayn Nayimi Ashrafi, Lahore.
3. Shaykh Aley Hasan Ashrafi Nayimi Sambhali, Muradabad.
4. Shaykh Sahibzadah Mufti Mukhtar Ahmad Khan Nayimi Ashrafi, elder
son of Hakeem ul Ummat.
5. Shaykh Sahibzadah Mufti Ikhtidar Ahmad Khan Nayimi Ashrafi,
younger son of Hakeem ul Ummat and author of the famous Fatawa
compendium Fatawa Nayimiya or Al Ataya ul Ahmadiya fi Fatawa ul

5. Jaaal Haq wa Zahak al Batil: The title of this book was extracted from
the Quranic verse of Surah al Bani Israel; 17: 81 which proclaims:
And say, The Truth has come and Falsehood has vanished. Undoubtedly
Falsehood is certain to vanish.
Jaa al Haq is one of the most famous books of Ahl us Sunnah in the

Allah! The book was started and completed on the day of the Beloved Rasul
Allahs Milad. The book contains superb proofs in support of Ahl us
Sunnah, their Doctrine and Practices. Hakeem ul Ummat brings about the
most authentic and irrefutable answers to the commonly raised questions
of the Wahhabiya and Deobandiya. He at first gives ample proof and
