used to call him ‘Ahmad Miyan’. His grandfather named him ‘Ahmad Raza’. His historic name is ‘Al-Mukhtar’ and A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to write ‘Abdul Mustafa’ before his name himself (Faizan-e-A’la Hadrat, pp. 77) through which one can very well get a gist of his devotion to the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Therefore, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه mentions in his poetic book of Na’ats, ‘Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish’:

خَوف نہ رکھ  رضا ذرا، تُو تو ہے ”عبدِ مُصْطَفٰی“

تیرے لئے اَمان ہے، تیرے لئے اَمان ہے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! After reading or listening about the Seerah, Fatwas [Shar’i verdicts], sayings and Na’atiyyah poetry of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, every sane individual can comprehend the fact very well that the devotion            to the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was embedded deeply into the heart of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه mentioned the praise of Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم all his life, strongly refuted those who rose allegations against the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and also specially adhered to the dignity and reverence to the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم while translating the Holy Quran. You can say that kindling the flame of love for Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم into the hearts of people was his main aim. Every couplet of his poetic book consisting of Na’ats, ‘Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish’, reveals his love for the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. You can get a gist of his devotion towards the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه not only named his both sons as ‘Muhammad’ but also named his nephews with the same blessed name. (Malfuzaat-e-A’la Hadrat, pp. 73)

The blessed personality of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was a true reflection of the Sunnahs of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would sit, stand, eat, drink, walk, converse, all according to the Sunnah. The state of his love for the Sunnah was such that once, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was invited for a meal. The food was served. Everyone was waiting for Imam Ahmad Raza Khan
