Four days before Shaikh al-Islam as-Shaikh Imam Ahmad Raza Khan was born, his father, Mawlana Naqi Ali Khan had a dream. He immediately told his father, who interpreted the dream by saying: This dream is a sign that you are going to be the father of a baby son who will grow up to be a knowledgeable and righteous, renouned man. His name will be famous from East to West. It was during the time of Zuhr Salah (Afternoon Prayer) when Ahmad Raza’s auspicious birth took place on 14th June 1856 A.D, 10th of Shawwal 1272 A.H, in the city of Bareilly, Utter Pradesh. India. This book is about this knowledgeable, righteous and renounced man.
