Re: Who Was Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvis Teacher? hmm.......
STUDENT OF MIRZA GULAM QADIR BEGThere is a charge against Ala Hadrat that he was a student of Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg and Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg was brother of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani, who was false Prophet.
Here, there is nothing but confusion-confusion in the name of similar names. The name of one of the teachers of the great Mujaddid was Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg. But he had nothing to do with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani and his so-called brother, Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg.
This REAL Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg (brother of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani) was a Thanedar and died in 1883 at the age of 55, while Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg of Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza (alaihir rahmah) was a Maulvi and he died at the age of more than 80. In 1917,
That is, after 14 years of death of the brother of Qadyani, Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg of (Ala Hazrat) had sent a letter to the Ala Hazrat, which duly finds its place in Fatwa-i-Razviyya vol.III. It is thus clear that the teacher of Ala Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) and the brother of Qadyani were two different persons. The opponents of Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza (alaihir rahmah) also very well know this fact, but only to misguide people, they raise such objection.
Even if this objection is taken as correct, it makes no difference. In any case, Imam Ahmed Raza (alaihir rahmah) cannot be said to be Qadyani because he has written five separate books in condemnation of Qadyanism. A person who is castigating, condemning and criticizing Qadyanism, cannot be called a Qadyani. Those who tryto take benefit of these similar names and those who try to create confusion in the minds of the people, cannot show even a single sentence or a single word, written by the great Imam in favour of Qadyanism.
Maulvi Hashmat Ali Khan (alaihir rahmah), a great Sunni savant was admittedly a pupil of Wahabi savants. It is no insult on the part of Maulvi Hashmat Ali Khan. The insult, if any, is of the teacher whose teachings proved futile. Similarly, even if the great Imam is taken as a student of Mirza Ghulam Qadir Beg of Qadyani group, even so it is no insult of Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza (alaihir rahmah). The real insult is of Mirza Saheb whose teachings proved so hollow, ineffective and useless.
