The Naqvis are people found predominantly in Iran, Iraq, and the South Asian countries. They claim descent from the Imam.

Ali al-Hadi, who is also known as Naqi and the Tenth Imam, and through him they trace their lineage to the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his younger grandson Husayn ibn Ali.

The Ijtihadi family (or Khandān-e-Ijtihād) is sub-branch of the Naqvis of Darul Ijtihad Jais, Nasirabad and Parshadepur Raebareli. The family uses last name "Naqvi" to denote that they are descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through the lineage of the Imam Ali al-Naqi.

The Oudh family of Sayyids settled in RaeBareli during the tenth century.Naqvi Sadat migrated from Subzwar (Iran) and arrived in Jais around 410 Hijri (around 1027 AD).

The Sadaat Amroha (Urdu: سادات امروہہ) or Amrohi Sayyid or Sayyid of Amroha (Urdu: امروہی سید) are a community of Sayyids, historically settled in the town of Amroha, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Many members of the community migrated to Pakistan after independence and settled in Karachi, Sindh, Bewal - Rawalpindi - through Syed Dewan Shah Abdul Baqi Guzri Bewali bin Syed Abdul Wahid Guzri (Amroha) some descendants of whom settled in Azad Kashmir, from which some now also reside in the United Kingdom.

Lineage

[edit]

There are differing opinions about the number of sons of Imam Ali al-Naqi. The statement of 7 sons has been made by Ayatullah Syed Basheer Hussain, compiler of the book Shajrate Saddate Amroha, who lists:

  1. Al-Hasan al-'Askarī and his brothers:
  2. Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hadi
  3. Husayn
  4. 'Abdullāh
  5. Zayd
  6. Mūsā
  7. Ja'far ibn 'Ali al-Hādi, also known as Ja'far al-Zaki or Ja'far Ath-Thāni.

These seven names have also been referenced in the book Anwar-e-Alsadat. In addition, there are at least two people whose hand-written pedigree from the beginning (Imam Naqi) to the end have been accepted. These pedigrees confirm the sons of Imam Ali Naqi Al Hadi as seven in number.[1]

Besides Al-Hasan Al-'Askarī, three of the sons, Husayn, Muhammad and Ja'far, and one daughter named 'Ayliyā' from different wives have been mentioned by various scholars, including Shaikh Mufeed.[2][3][4][5]

Many of the Naqvis of South Asia were first settled after the Umayyad Arab conquest of Sindh and Punjab. Mansura(Sindh) and Multan(Punjab) were the two major Arab principalities in South Asia.

Naqvis of Jais, Naseerabad, Parshadepur from Raebareli

[edit]

One of the earliest settlements of Naqvis is from Nasirabd. Naqvi Sadats (descendants of Muhammad) migrated from Subzwar (Iran) and settled in Jais(The Oudh family of Sayyids of Jais, well known for Mujtahids of Lucknow), Naseerabad & Parshadepur RaeBareli around 410 Hijri (around 1027 AD). After some time the adjacent village of Patakpur was also inhabited by Momineens and renamed Nasirabad after Syed Naseerudin. Nasirabad are the earliest known Naqvi Sadats of India. Nasirabad are the native land of Khandan e Ijtihad and many high-ranking scholars have come from there. The 1st Mujtahid from India, Ayatullah il Uzma Sayyid Dildar Ali Naqvi Naseerabadi 'Gufraanmaab' was from here and later his family came to be called "Khandan e Ijtihad" due to the heavy presence of high-ranking scholars. Some famous and known religious scholars from this lineage include Syedul Ulema Ayatullah Syed Ali Naqi Naqvi 'Naqqan', Jannat Ma'ab Ayatullah Syed Taqi, Shamsul Ulama Ayatullah Syed Ibraheem, Ayatullah Aqa Hasan Sb, Ayatullah Syed Kalbe Hussain Naqvi, Hujjatul Islam Syed Kalbe Abid Naqvi, Hujjatul Islam Syed Kalbe Jawwad Naqvi, Hujjatul Islam Syed Hasan Zafar Naqvi(based in Karachi), Zubdatul Ulama Syed Agha Mahdi Naqvi (Karachi), Allama Syed Razi Jafar, Allama Nasir Ijtehadi, Dr Kalbe Sadiq, Hujjatul Islam Syed Hasan Naqvi, Hujjatul Islam Syed Ali Mohammad Naqvi, Syed Sibte Hasan Naqvi, Syed Mohammad Waris Hasan Naqvi, Famous Scholar/Writer Syed Mustafa Hussain Naqvi(Aseef Jaisi), Famous Scholar/ Writer & Maulana Hujjatul Islam Syed Saeedul Hasan Naqvi Parshadepuri (based in Lucknow).
