books of Ahadees, whereas, it was the state of the profound yearning of the leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه for acquiring Islamic knowledge that he had studied more than 50 books of Ahadees merely in the science of Hadees for Dars and teaching. Besides his studies, other activities were part of his life such as answering to the Shar’i rulings asked across the globe, sending the answers of the letters, meeting the guests and the travellers, reforming the people who turned away from the true path and writing and compiling books etc.

Undoubtedly, it is the special Divine mercy and grace upon A’la Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه that he had perfect expertise in approximately more than 50 branches of knowledge and sciences. The remarkable piece of work ‘Fatawa Razawiyyah’ comprises of 30 volumes containing a beautiful collection of 6847 questions and answers and 206 booklets with 21,656 pages is the biggest evidence of his deep yearning for knowledge and service for Islam.  May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ accept all his services of Islam and shower blessings on his blessed shrine as well as privilege us to follow in his footsteps.
