Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi (Urdu: احمد رضا خان بریلوی; 14 June 1856 – October 1921), known reverentially as Ala Hazrat (Urdu: اعلی حضرت), was an Indian Islamic scholar, theologian, jurist, preacher, poet from Bareilly, British India, considered as the founder of the Barelvi movement and the Razvi branch of the Qadri Sufi order. He wrote on law, religion, philosophy and the sciences, and because he mastered many subjects in both rational and religious sciences, Francis Robinson, one of the leading Western scholars of South Asian Islam, considers him to be a polymath. He was reformer who wrote extensively in defense of the Prophet Muhammad and popular Sufi practices. Read more on Wikipedia
